Get-out-of-jail cards in UAE: where do you apply?

[divinesoul]

Hi
Just my views so dont bite me.

In the middle east especially the GCC region it doesnt matter u are good at your job or u have 10 Phds in your chosen profession.all that matters is where u come from.

Except if u are employed in the oil/gas industry and a few exceptional companies most of the other companies discriminate u according to nationality. This is the same thing all over the gulf.
Hell what am i talking here correction not ony companies the judicial/law enforcement,u want to get a driving licence everything and i mean everything in the GCC region relates to where u come from.

Here is the social heirarchy

First preference is given to that particular country's citizen,
then GCC national,
then arabic speaking people like the palestinians,egyptians,sudanese etc etc,
then comes the westerners(especially if you are white skinned,but then again most westerners come to Gulf if and only if they get a good salary package that comes with goodies),
then comes asians like Indians,fillipinas etc etc.

And there is another class of people who are treated the worst:-the construction workers who build all the infrastructure.
I really feel sorry for these guys how they get treated badly.some of these guys take huge loans to pay of the agent who arranges for the job in the gulf.

If you want to work and live in the middle east u will have to close your eyes and ears and collect ur paycheck at the end of every month.


Cheers.
