Thanks, Nikita!
On a more serious note, is anyone else absolutely appalled by the fact that the company can take away 66% of your Provident Fund in the event you are found guilty of a rather vaguely interpretted "gross misconduct"?
It seems horrifying to me that having already taken your career and dignity, they now reach in and take your pension as well.
In recent times, there have been a few cases where the company has "offered" pilots the rather stark choice of "resign and go quietly" or else we invoke chapter C6 of the ERM, and take your pension. In some cases, that's a hit of well over a million Dhs, and not really a choice at all.
Are there any other companies in the world that do the same?
We all go to work knowing that our job is only as good as our next landing, but our pension as well?
All comments gladly received; rational and otherwise.
