Anybody ever worked in Saudi? Looking for tips on the culture of the big Corps, are they aggressive etc? Sure a few on here were out there years back.
You thinking of working out there ? My brother's mate works there. The one tip he said, was not to have a car accident, because it will automatically be your fault by virtue of you being there. The premise is, that if you were not in the country then the accident would not have happened, therefore, it's your fault.
My lad’s recently come back from working in Dubai for a large corp. He hated it, thought the Arabs looked down on Westerners and were as arrogant as ****.
Yep, condemned to a lifetime of subservience, but he’s not arsed as he just lets it go over his head.
Had a fire here yesterday.. Sat watching out the window as they put out a burning car... Not to worry, it will have passed their shift, they are probably all working as sparkies today
Nah I’ve got things going down with a major Corp out there and I’m presenting on Zoom, just wanted to get the gen on what the big bods look for so that I keep my power and don’t look like a typical westerner.
Yeah that’s unlikely to happen here as they’ve asked for my help. I still don’t fancy getting chopped up for saying the wrong things like.
Well someone just go twenty years for being connected to an anonymous Twitter account he ran that satirised the Saudi government. So choose your words carefully or chop chop. In other words I ain't got a clue except you can earn shhite loads of money.
They a set of ****s bro...trust me Tobes is bang on...they will think you the stuff they scrape off their sandals. I haven’t worked their but I’ve stayed for 6 weeks and I’ve mingled with Arab man for a long time and Saudi’s are probably the most arrogant of them all...they got a bit of pesa nowadays init
Strangest day at the new job. Well it was an old job, but starting again...Probably one of the smoothest days i've had for yonks.
They're also thick as fck, more money than sense and need others to do things for them. Which probably bodes well for Tel.
Racist ****s too so I hear. Loads of Africans working in Saudi doing the menial jobs that Saudis think are below them, and getting a ton of abuse whilst doing it.
I've never been anywhere near that area. Spent plenty of time in Arab cities in Morocco, but that's more Berber culture with a mix of Arabic, Spanish, Sub Saharan African. A real melting pot and very accommodating as a result.
