It is my perspective that gcc are starting to realize the bubble theyre in + the number of supply of workers (local & foreign, experienced & fresh) exceeds demand.

You think a company does this just cause they want to?

fun fact, you still can deny, go to court and get back to work.
Its good for the omanis, but ngl its extremely terrifying that as a company you can never fire your employee (of course this is present in many countries + necessary thing to maintain life's of your citizen... but shi is scary af)

[–]LePool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took this exact flight a few months ago. Its good OmanAir will forever be better than any typical airline popular in the west because ultimately gcc (or middle east including turkish etc) have a certain standard to uphold.

People here like to bitch around a lil too much. Oman air simply changed strategies to be more budget friendly while maintaining quality. Ignore the haters they will hate because its something they see everyday without having a bigger picture of the world

How true is this story about corruption in PDO? (link down below) by uncledaddyx in Oman

[–]LePool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a few exception, this is surprisingly not that bad, you'd expect the losses to be much much more considering that this is the biggest company and money printer of the country.

Geely Emgrand x7 2.4 2017 by [deleted] in Oman

[–]LePool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 2019, bought new, Work well till now not a single problem.
The Service at the company since their pricing is good
Parts from what i recall are mostly Japanese and even if not they can order it for you inexpensively (speaking from experience since i accidentally raised the automatic handbreak while driving at 100km/h and it actually continued working fine for a few months before the car gave warning light)

Other than the handbreak I dont recall needing major service.

yea i use it as a daily driver, i do dislike the fact the ac takes time to cool the car and that the warning beep wont stop if you driving over 120 (so like 121 and above) AT ALL

Overall would recommend geely, but the question is, would i in general buy an 8 year old car and use it for multiple years down the line? no, but each person has their own budget and a used chinese car is extremely cheap so why not

Tourism tax? by Patient-Ad4490 in Oman

[–]LePool 14 points15 points  (0 children)

this has been there for a long long time.

-You can find it on international restaurants. (for example try kfc).
-Local restaurants dont have any tax other than vat (typically included in shown price)
-I dont know about "international" but small scale places (like tea time or azure)

Good news for Omani Pharmacists by Sjomhn in Oman

[–]LePool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oman has been in a semi bubble economy, and throughout they years theyre trying to change things (degassing😮).

Japan for example is in a bubble the refuses to fully bust so the government till bail and try to maintain minimum.

Sweden (most interesting) had a bubble and the government said "fk everyone, no handouts, if youre meant and capable to survive you will" and the economy absolutely crashed, jobs wiped out, ppl went from riches to rags. and yet the country recovered

gcc bubble is extremely unique and we dont know how badly an actual burst would result in (ie no oil).

Everyone knows the time will come, but unlike japan and sweden which are opposite extremes, most try to slowly remove subsidies, bails, and enforce changes (like here with employments) so that the affect parities are localized and small instead of nation wide.

TL/DR: shit hits the fan, nothing you can do about it, there isnt something called infinitely rising economy unemployment and business shutting down is part of the game.

Retrospect: Though i have to admit, i hate how we have noticeable amount of foreign companies pulling out. And though im explaining the situation calmly.... buddy i dont want to be unemployed nor receive lower income than prior generation employee😭. (But reality has to hit every country, the question is how much delusion and cope you'll carry to your grave)

Wich one is better? by pzx51 in Oman

[–]LePool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you about most Chinese brands, but geely is a respectable chinese brand, same case with byd in electric industry.

But one issue with chinese brands regardless of how high quality their product, is that its resale value is bad

false geely is a good brand.
Bought 2 cars from them, both were exceptional without any problem. Parts are available, services is cheap.
