Emirates had, still has and will continue to have a clear strategy regarding employees. It has been made clear beyond doubt and people just can't seem to understand it's the way it will be forever from now and that is....
YOU GIVE MORE AND THEY TAKE MORE
It's the perfect business model and they don't give a damn, infact they laugh at how employees put up with it. You go against that business model and you are out, they know you have no rights and they have 100% control. Simple, effective and that's how it is, someone tell me and explain to me if that is not the case.
