I reiterate--M Trading is a great company. They sometimes pay late, but getting paid "late" in Saudi Arabia, in my experience, is not uncommon. I have been told by several direct hires that they have also been paid late. But they are not complaining! I think they all feel quite fortunate to be working here! And those of us not fortunate enough to be direct hires are quite willing to work within the system, use things open to us like salary advances and business visas, to get our jobs done.
I find the allegations of libel and slander quite puzzling indeed!
And I don't understand the goat metaphor at all, although it does seem to please you immensely. The main point is this--Saudi Arabia is a splendid place to work, and Hail is a wonderful town in which to live, and you have to roll with things that, to some westerners, seem inconvenient or even unjust. Like getting paid a bit late, or not having your expenses given to you right up front. Things like this do happen in other countries! It is simply ridiculous to deny that they do!
The only slander taking place online is the defamation being directed at M Trading, as far as I can tell. It's a good company with friendly people, and I like them a lot. I would work for them again, no problem!
Why all the threats?
Or is this just more evidence of your continued misery here?
If you are so unhappy, you really should go home. It is that simple. |

I'm beginning to suspect that arabesque is an ex-disgruntled employee of M-Trading who has hit on the perfect way to discredit them totally. |

My thought was in a similar vein: advocatus diaboli |
