Subject: [Goanet] Britons in Dubai sell possessions and return home as
coronavirus ends expat dream
Sorry this UK Telegraph article requires a subscription but you can get the
gist in the first few lines....
No tears will be shed by the South Asians expatriates in Dubai who gnash their
teeth at the largely lesser qualified white Brits who are recruited at
astronomical salaries.
This is a typical situation:
The Arab owner or senior executive is prejudiced in favour of the Brits their
former masters. He brings in a plumber from the building trades and makes him a
Vice President of his construction company. Then he recruits Indian or
Pakistani or Sri Lankan engineers at a quarter of that salary and construction
workers at a tenth of that quarter who do all the real work.
Naturally the London tube-taking plumber now becomes the resident of a
sumptuous ‘villa’ and drives a Range Rover or a BMW SUV.
So when they are losing their virtually tax free jobs, no tears are shed by the
children of a lesser god.
