How does it work in KSA that some hustlers without pimps make less than those with. Oh, that's right. It's about a job well done isn't it . . . that's the bottom line for independents I suppose.

Dear rollingk,

The operative word is "some" - or maybe it should be "a few." Very Happy

Regards,
John

The way to get enough money from them for air fares, if you have no intention to return, is to tell them you will come back in the fall, take the money for the return trip before summer and then fail to show up in September.

It worked a treat for me and I made an extra thousand bucks for one small lie to a dreadfully incompetent company who harbor no good will to any employee.

If you wish to return after the summer (some people actually do this) then you know the company by then and can have no complaints if you sign another deal with the devil.

One of my friends did exactly this: QEHC didn't follow through on its contract obligations, so my friend was stranded in the Magic Kingdom with no work, she was not getting paid, and several of her fellow female co-workers were threatened with being thrown out on the streets since QEHC hadn't paid the hotel costs (of course being thrown out wouldn't have probably happened). After complaining at the Ministry of Labor with some fellow co-workers, she brokered a deal wherein she got the return tickets and back pay and left, promising to return in the fall.

Of course, she has absolutely no intention of returning, especially after the situation she was put through. One can't exactly trust the devil to tell the truth, you know... Wink

Interlink has been known to leave arriving employees at the airport, or they forget to pick them up. I feel really bad for the women that come here to work.

saudiman,

When I arrived at Riyadh airport with a colleague, one of the bosses (fat American guy with a Japanese wife and a fake doctorship) just looked at us and said, 'oh, we were only expecting one person' and just walked away. We were made to feel really welcome from day one!

Does anybody still working with Interlink have any news regarding the closure of sites? The sooner these jokers are ruined the better.

There is no rule that says that you can't post the same message on all the threads related to a particular employer... nor does it make him a troll... yet.

So, are you here to tell new applicants that things are great there... or OK there... or tolerable there?

That is the proper response to his posts.
