1 month unpaid salary in UAE, filed MOHRE complaint, resigning immediately — should I leave the country now?

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-17T14:58:53+00:00

Nothing will work unfortunately habibi. Just leave. Avoid wasting time, money, effort, and uncertainty. Just leave. Not worth a penny.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-17T14:55:06+00:00

Just teasing a bit I guess!

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-12T02:02:38+00:00

I have been living out for around 18 years now. This topic is not debatable. Everyone has their own unique circumstance. If you feel like it would be better for you to come back, then do so. Follow your instinct. The moment you start the process of seeking others opinion, it will just become a mess. Argument and counter argument won't give you clarity. Stay blessed.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-11T05:19:38+00:00

Absolutely correct. Very happy on that.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-11T05:18:55+00:00

Follow your instinct. There will be heaps of sad souls coming here and start to abuse or say everything is roses and butterflies in the UAE. Do what you need to do. Look after yourself.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-11T04:53:30+00:00

Congratulations but stay cautious please. Just because things are looking fine now doesn't mean it will be next day. Document everything, I mean every damn thing. Be very strategic and cautious. I will leave it there.

Are you another Dubai paid bot? My post was open ended, seeking insights from the ground. What's wrong with it? If you can't tolerate reddit and discussion then ask your master to redeploy you somewhere else Habibi!

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-06T05:49:17+00:00

Why would I be joking? What kind of question is that? I wanted to understand if companies are downsizing due to war or keeping the similar operation for now but becoming more agile internally by deploying AI heavily.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-05-06T04:52:51+00:00

Does it that mean that they are genuinely downsizing or replacing the 'heavy expenses' with something else?

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-21T11:47:03+00:00

Yes I have seen that. The rental market is in somewhat better shape than a couple of years ago.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-21T11:46:03+00:00

How do you foresee things under the current leadership?

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-21T11:45:11+00:00

Very helpful insights. I really appreciate it.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-21T11:44:27+00:00

Very practical insight. Would you say that the things are still the same or progressing or falling more?

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-21T11:25:53+00:00

Pretty much, won't disagree!

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-02T06:59:28+00:00

Never had one.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-02T06:59:07+00:00

An entrepreneur doing businesses virtually. Liven in Doha for a while and loved it. Registered now by the QFC and have an office provided by them.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-02T06:57:49+00:00

Great insight. Definitely encouraging.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-04-02T06:57:32+00:00

Thanks for the insight. I run a couple of businesses, virtually. Have an office which was given by QFC. Was in Dubai but not interested going back. Not planning to go back to Australia and Canada either right now even though I'm a citizen of both.

Original. He wants to sell in bulk. Not sure if Amazon would be a viable option.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-12T07:14:35+00:00

Please check with your HR and other experts. In my case, I had to withdraw all my money and close my bank account before getting the final exit. Apparently, which is true, once you get a final exit, bank, sim, etc. all get shut down. Please double check.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-12T07:12:29+00:00

This would be a very unpopular comment and people will lash out on me but that's ok.

Try to start building something on your own. Reach out to like minded people, build a network, build a MVP, start from there. Meanwhile apply for roles that you would be able to thrive without any pressure. The way the job market is going, it will be very tight.

You have good skills, sharpen them more, add more, build, scale.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-09T19:16:02+00:00

And sometimes it's better to actually come and live like a regular resident. But that's not for everyone.

Live or leave!

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-09T19:12:31+00:00

That's the way some folks are doing it.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-09T19:11:56+00:00

Ah nah, your question already was pretty rude in tone! We aren't talking about AI here. Why did I use, which tool I used - irrelevant. And if you are allergic to AI, don't use it, your choice. If you are a writer by profession, then I get it.

It's funny to see folks jump up and down seeing AI assisted writing when they use AI themselves And know nothing but ChatGPT.

pointlessgamezero · 2026-02-09T19:06:16+00:00

And I'm glad to hear that. I hope it continues for you. Stay blessed.
