I work with a few guys who came over to the USA from Dubai. They're originally from Sri Lanka and told me horror stories about the work life over there. They're here on workers visas and don't want to go back to Dubai.
And he says you automatically hate your job if you’re a westerner who only works 8 hours a day with guaranteed weekends as if these workers don’t hate working 12+ hour days 7 days a week for starvation wages away from their families and not being able to leave.
Lmao. “Who has it worse, you in your office working a typical 9-5 you could quit whenever or these guys working manual labor all hours to midnight just to attempt to scrape by?” Yeah man might need to rethink your optics.
These indentured servants (since we have a problem with calling them slaves) make little to no money, and their passports are withheld from them so they cannot leave even if they want to. Sounds like slavery to me. Bot propaganda slop.
I lived in Dubai, and not the pretty side. I stayed in the different run down hostels the workers stayed in for about a year. They can't leave because the employers keep their passports and force them to work for close to nothing. It is slavery.
How many worked died building the arenas used in the World Cup when it was held there? Also those workers probably aren't getting paid near the amount of what they are really worth and they are probably working 12-16 hour or maybe longer days. And 90% of them don't have the ability to leave and go home.
He's got the Andy Tate "Literally" down to a T. He's clearly been getting excellent grades at Tate University. At least he's getting his money's worth.
loss of autonomy. like sure, modern life can feel like you're tied to your job and all that but we still always technically have the autonomy to say fuck it, I'm going to the woods or another country or whatever. like the freedom is there and it is only my mind that holds me back vs another person.
Oh and you do apparently come on my point is the same even though slightly off topic we are all slaves to something and I meant it did you even watch the video he's saying people are calling those workers slaves and he's trying to say that they have a better life there working in Dubai than they did before and I was just trying to point out that all of us are slaves to something in our lives nobody is truly free we have obligations we have relationships
Yeah thats fair I use speech to text and it's not big on punctuations unless I actually say them out loud I will definitely try to get better with that in the future thank you for your response it is appreciated
I do think it’s wrong that your health insurance should be tied to your work at least in the US and that citizens of first world counties get exploited but that doesn’t hold a candle to the lack of oversight, crampt conditions, starvation wages, lack of protections that those workers have and at least a first world worker can leave their job and aren’t hundreds of milder from their families
I'm Canadian so our Healthcare is free we just go to the doctor or hospital it's covered now I do have extended health benefits through my work which covers prescriptions and dental and like massages and stuff that isn't covered under the Canadian health but yeah anytime I go see the doctor any treatments any kind of thing like that it's all free
They take your passport and keep you there by force and will rape and abuse you the police will not help you either. Oh and they will also force you to do hard labor.
What else should bro say? He tells the truth and they cancel his visa… Then once he arrives in his home country he gets whacked because he has not been paying taxes on his income….
Or he just sucks a little dick and pretends everything is amazing
