Did far too many years as a Dispatcher in Dubai, but couldn't resign 'cos the rewards were ridiculously good.
When I did evenbually get time off ( good behaviour ), Dubai was worth it in many ways, but Abu Dhabi is no Dubai.
I would concur that expats are not liked by "local" management and are expected to work every hour God gave us.
All depends on what you want in life, loadsa money or a half decent home-life.
Whooaahh!!!
