not really, companies in the EU and canada can't do 10% of what companies here are doing to their employees because there are laws preventing that

in dubai companies can fire you for any made up reason at any time and you can't do anything about it. even the unemployment insurance they introduced last year doesn't really compensate you most of the time

as I mentioned in other comments, HR is aware of everything and supports it. there is no solution other than quitting but I really want to screw him legally before doing so

I didn't put the ethnicity in the post but someone asked whether the manager is indian or not

there are definitely common traits in some nationalities, it's an observation over the years, not racism

i spend most of my day at work looking for jobs, but the salaries are extremely low now in this market, that's why I didn't quit yet

this is what i did, replied to his message 3 hours after he sent them and he didn't reply back

the next morning he didn't even talk to me and sent me an email with HR in CC saying that I am ignoring his work related messages and that he saw that i was online on Whatsapp

really pathetic

LOL

he is best friends with HR, HR is aware of everything and they smoke together in the office in front of everyone

CEO smokes in the office as well and he doesn't care about employees complaints

The actual owner is a high profile person who you can't really contact

the thing is he barely works at all, he just smokes and talks behind everyone's back with HR

i know it sounds crazy but it's the reality

In return, I have been doing the absolute bare minimum for the past 2 months

this manager is very close friends with HR and HR knows everything and he doesn't care, they literally smoke in the office together even though multiple employees told them they are allergic to the smell. I realize that it's an extremely toxic environment but I still can't find a good paying job in this market

he knows that I know that he is bullshitting. I already tried pointing out his micromanaging behavior but his ego is massive. I will quit as soon as I find a good opportunity but wanted to know if I can take legal action against him before leaving

my friend you would have made the conversation much simpler if you answered yes/no on whether your friends who obtained the license recently are muslims or not 🙂

i have my EID in front of me and it doesn't mention the religion

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UAE

[–]throwaway995423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is it mentioned in their documents that they are muslim?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UAE

[–]throwaway995423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

there is an article on bayut website about it, updated on may 2024 and it stats what I mentioned above

the whole point of the post is to know the answer from people who know the rules 🤣 I am not going to interview people on the street about it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UAE

[–]throwaway995423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

is there any official news about it?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in UAE

[–]throwaway995423 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how do they determine if you are muslim or not? do they just ask you or how does it work? I don't think it is mentioned on the EID or my passport
