Good news for the EK boys.
Dubai's ruler has awarded a 63-year-old Pakistani gardener 50 000 Dirhams for always showing up to work on time during the 28 years he spent working in the emirate. The bonus Mohammad Nazier received was the equivalent of 49 months' pay from his job with the Gulf Arab state's municipal authority, Emirates Today newspaper said. "I had to take some loans to pay for my children's weddings and education. Now I will repay my debts... and keep some money for the future," said Nazier, who took sick leave only once to undergo surgery."This award means a lot to me. It is because of God's grace that I received it," said Nazier, a former soldier.
The poor sod deserves it, working for 28 years with a salary cap of 1,020 Dirhams.
Non-aviation, I know but I thought I'd remind you that Dubai really does care.
