leaves a few questions in regards to the respect the management has towards its hard working employees
2.3B AED on 96B turnover. Hardly a huge margin...

No company is immune from this regardless of how strong you think they are. I’ll take a 50% pay cut for 3 months VS 2 months (or more) leave without pay any day.

Even if it is ‘only 2 weeks’ you must be pretty naive to think that’s all it will be. On top of that things will not magically return to normal after that. A lot of the schedule changes announced only 24 hours ago have cancellations until the end of May or June.

At the end of this year, we should all just hope we can celebrate still having a job.
