[GladToBeFree]

I have been noticing some Saudi positions I would be interested in pursuing. But I have a situation that worries me from my last position.

I was on a business visa in my last position (Shabaka) and at the last moment as we were all departing, I did not get a NOC certificate. The "brothers" running this company said I did not need one to teach elsewhere in Saudi as I was not on an iqama, and gave a number for me to call if I needed one eventually. Yet, a couple of my co-workers who were also on business visas got an NOC anyway.

I did not get along with my Canadian-American director for various reasons, all of which can be found here on this site, but enjoyed my position and generally had a good time. I'm not sure if by not getting an NOC I was being screwed with or what.

Could I come back, since I didn't officially work on an employment visa? (I know I shouldn't have done it, but...) Would appreciate some constructive replies.

To the immediate attention of Al Shabaka illegal recruits, and to the Ministry of Labor's Deputy Minister Dr Mo:

The diplomatically brilliant, intelligent, poetic and humorous Minister Dr Gh turns over in the workers' union boardroom within the Great Beyond, a chairmanship very recently and peacefully awarded.

The "brothers", including the one a member of the King's Shoura Council, continue to gain infamy at home and abroad. "Gave a number for me to call"? Wasta, engaged at its, how you say, nefarious machinationously best.

GladToBeFree to return to Captivity?

Obviously you were not a Disciple.

All those No Objection Certificates are illegal, yet in compliance with Al Shabakan custom.

That's as constructive as it gets.
