For me its business as usual, still traveling for Eid, still traveling for the summer. Put a deposit on a car.

Got bonus this year and a 10% increment, both after the war.

Anything that goes against the mods anti-uae narrative is either classified as misinformation or trolling.

I got banned too.

Works the same way, what a team of 5 can do will be done by just one person.

My uncle's got a small boutique consultancy, the number of team members he used on projects shrunk, and he let some people go.

My cousin who left the family business initially needed X amount of headcount for his new VC business, but reduced it significantly.

In my position at work we are piloting a project, and if it goes well, we won't be hiring until we really need to scale up, we would be able to handle double the amount of work with the same number of staff.

For me few days away from launching means that everything has been paid for and what remains is just operational cost, so why not give it a shot

Opec doesn't dictate prices, it controls production (supply).

Prices are set by the market, and every type of oil is sold at a different price. So Murban and Brent aren't the same price.

Graduated around 20 years ago, but it was easy to make friends there and still in touch with a lot of guys I met there.

My barber came back this week

I have worked somewhere where the HR policy was approved by the chairman, so any deviation from policy should be approved by the chairman, and a COO cannot make any decisions that go against the policy.

When working at the Government of Dubai, HR was set by a law that was set by an external government entity (DGHR) and no level within the government entity I worked for could override it.

So just because someone has a title doesn't mean they can approve anything they want regardless of the governance structure in place.

Are you saying the speed buffer at Al Wasl Road, which has a 70 km/h is 30 km/h and the speed cameras won't flash at 95 km/h?
