Two decades of observing the workings of the accommodation department and I can assure you that it has always been the worst-run department in the company: unresponsive, unbalanced, and capricious to the point of antagonism.
More importantly for those effected by the Meydan debacle, the winner is whomever's wife is willing to make the largest scene, preferably in the office itself, preferably with weeping children. In one case this resulted in scoring a five-bedroom detached villa in Jumeirah on the company dime (this was before the utility allowance existed). True story, but it was an academy-award winning performance, at one stage featuring collapsing in a heap in front of NC's desk.
Be guided accordingly.
