MACDONALD AND CO SURVEY -- Employee Loyalty
Posted by Nirmesh at 18:31 UAE time
Dear All,
There is no point in expecting loyalty from employess in a country where almost all employers are having double standards, more-over you work for an employer with your honesty & full commitment and then one day you get a better offer then current employer is not ready to leave you, you may be threatened with BAN !!.
I have personally experienced this in Dubai, after working for 2 yrs with very reputed company, exceeding my profitability targets and all expectations of management, when I got better opportunity, my current management complaint against me to Government Authorities and tried their best so that i cant work with my new employer.
Thats what happened to me & till today they are following me when i have my own business here, recently I dragged one of my previous boss to police station after i complained against him for this harassment.
what I mean to say is, there is no point being loyal to companies at least in this part of world.

MACDONALD AND CO SURVEY

What a complete waste of space this article and by implication this survey is. It has revealed nothing new and is a blatant attempt by a company who has been in Dubai for 5 minutes to look like an expert. Solutions are what we need not limelight stealing by reiterating what other people have already said.

The Point
Posted by Rainigade at 13:22 UAE time
Angelo - isn't the main reason for coming to Dubai that we ALL want to live a lifestyle that is not necessarily possible back home?
Yes, a few exceptions exist where senior managers are sent here for a year or two on full expat packages.
But the majority of us are here to better our lives and bank balances while living in an exciting city with a booming economy and different culture.
Why single out the Europeans when talking about loyalty? I dont get the point!

Loyalty
Posted by Gloryb at 11:45 UAE time
The question of loyalty begins with a basic premis - that the employer honours his agreements and the labour law. The current system of sponsorship ( or as some employers think - ownership) of workers is unable to shift across jobs if the conditions are not met. It also does not allow freedom for the worker to better himself if the opportunity should arise. Conversely, an employer is "stuck" with a worker who does not perform to expectation after the probationary period. When there is an open labour market, then both employers and employees benefit and employees are more likely to remain with good employers who offer fair salaries and benefits for good service

Loyalty - Who's fault
Posted by angelo at 07:40 UAE time
Further to my previous comment - In some cases persons are recruited and given a higher salary than their boss - so the employee feels dishonoured and is left to consider his position. The increase in salaries does not equate to the increase in the cost of living - Many Europeans come here for a lifestyle that they could only dream of in their own country and they wish to continue with the "Homes and Gardens" lifestyle

Loyalty - Who's fault
Posted by angelo at 07:31 UAE time
Loyalty is kindred to many agreements with two parties - it has to be worked at by both. Some start with companies with the best intentions only to find that the company has been lenient with the truth regarding their true role. The atmosphere in some establishments make it difficult to ask for recognition for good performance and will be held in a menial position though carrying out higher positional tasks - their only answer - move - but sometimes the grass may appear greener than it actually is! as i said in the beginning companies that promise the world but don't come up with the goods. Some will come and take any job simply to enter the country then immediately start looking for jobs with higher wages - or as in many Asian cases - start their own business.
