You can’t be serious about having to give up the comfort of a bus/train/bus to/from work for a chauffeur driven car.

Ha ha. Classic.
I forgot to mention you get a 20 foot container to relocate to DXB so you can bring your favourite things from your apartment.
Plus, because the 4 bedroom villa will have too much space. They give you $6500USD to buy furniture as a one off welcome to DXB allowance.
Plus if your kids are at boarding school you get 2x confirmed return tickets for them to school/DXB each year per kid to make it hassle free for them to get flights over the school holidays!
Schooling is covered until your kids are 19 and that includes University overseas.
You get 6 annual leave confirmed bookable tickets each year as well for employee and family.
You get 10 tickets a year for "friends" outside of your normal travel nominees.
Plus 50% of your salary is protected against FX exchange rate extremes, but your salary will only go up but never down.
Those are some of the little things, but for some the little things are important..... Like command dinners, gold pins for 10,15.20 years. First class lounge pass when you get your command.... All those things have been wiped in HK but atleast in DXB someone still thinks it's important.
