I was a ‘lifer’ here and as such having a home of my own as opposed to company accommodation and living the “Emirates’ life 24/7 is appealing. I didn’t have any problems with the company other than the standard niggles. I was all going nicely for many many years until Covid 19. In the 32 years the company has been running they had never made anyone redundant and one would have expected it to have been done in a more transparent fare method.
I dont think you can criticise someone for wanting their own home. People all around the world want that, it is not ‘keeping up with the Jones’
FATBUS. I didn’t have debts for fancy cars or have any loans or credit card debts.
