nothing more than disgusting it is a display of poor leadership in the HR area in Houston, not difficult with characters like Slymon Pollitt elevated to a role above his capapability in Houston lah lah land

I'll remember, but please remind me should I pack my pork sausages and bacon rashers, or leave this in Saudi?

If the world had an asshole it would be Saudi Arabia. Disgusting country full of Egyptian migrant workers.

Ask your hr for severence pay, if you're entitled to it. Read your contract for "such" clauses, on termination. Good luck!

Yes, if you are an expat in Saudi, anything is OK.

Text mail termination in Saudi is the new wave. Proves to them that you are trash.

Now you know Saudi. Next time you get an offer, ask for a lot more money during negotiation.

RE @FD1WujX-rke.

Yes they have been laying off field engineers this week. I know of 5, but could be more.

This is an unfortunate consequence of being an expat with a service company. With some European exceptions, as an expat you have no rights.

Yes me also by text last week, from Al Khobar office in Saudi Arabia. In Saudi this is legal. I had contract with IPRS from Dubai. When I ring HR Dubai they just dismiss me saying this is legal. What can I do?
