SPOT POLL

Following the latest job cuts by Nakheel, which statement best sums up your views as an employee in the Gulf regon?

The majority of the job cuts have now been made and I believe my job is safe.
I reckon more job cuts will be made but only in the real estate sector.
I never thought job cuts would hit the region and Nakheel's announcement shows how bad things are.
I'm really worried that my job could be the next to go.
