GF, as probably the largest employer of Bahrainis, apart from taxi driving , would be a nightmare for the Sheihk if they had to downsize or worse, there'd be tonnes of angry Bahrainis on the streets of Manama. Might be easier for the Sheihky to keep printing the money than risk a social problem
ShinjukuHustler, Early retirement for the useless ones. They would be more profitable at home than at work.
This would unable GF management to keep the good performing Bahrainis and they are not just few. Many of these good guys lack direction because the management system just does not work and talent is easily wasted.
GF may not be the largest employer in the country. You have BAPCO, BATELCO, ASRY, ALBA and others and they employ loads of people.
