Seems like they are all a bunch of whiners-- coming in our country to work, take their money, and leave.
If you want to see whiners just look at the behaviour of some muslims in Western countries. At least almost all expats in the Middle East leave eventually rather than staying permanently and expecting the country to change to suit them. Not to mention the behaviour of the more extreme elements who need to be watched by the intelligence services.

The environment for Westerners in the Middle East takes some adjustment and sacrifice and they should be compensated accordingly. 45C, dust, pollution, archacic laws and customs take some getting used to.

Remember the old saying about the middle east ? When you arrive you are given two buckets, one for the s**t the other for the money as soon as one is full you leave. At the moment the first bucket seems to be filling rather quickly for most people. I don't think many get to leave because the second one is full.
