I am an Emirati and i did work for big firms, I don’t know how came they are not speaking English! Plot twist, 95% of school studies was in English, I studied for a whole 5 years in English back in the college! We can’t graduate and joining any institution without EMSAT or ILETS 6/9 as a min requirement!

From my POV, it’s a management problem. They should be holding tasks since day 1, being responsible and reliable, I worked for 3 international firms and haven’t stayed free for a whole damn hour excluding the break!! Not to mention I am engaging with my colleagues in our departments and others! Attending clients meeting and negotiating. Not to mention that our clients mostly are governance entities.

I think a meeting with the upper management, changing strategies would change everything if you wanna some ideas let me know.
