Market economy rules with Serco. They will pay the going rate that is sufficient to attracts newbies. They are not particularly interested in in the long term nor the infrastructure that equates to ICAO compliance.
Correct in that you are talking about people's lives but as the
NOTSO Great Dane used to say we don't hire the wives and children!
You come to the Middle East with Serco on a 3 months notice contract. Familiar to those from the USA but less so to those from Europe.
The older ATCOs that work with Serco they view as a liability because they cost more and wish that could boot them out and hire newbieas at a cheaper rate thereby enhancing their profit margin. They really don't care how good you are at your job 'cos they can hire a newbie at half the cost.
If you want loyalty, buy a dog as the ex DANS UAE used to say.
Good luck
