Yes. It is in the contract. It is a way to justify paying native English speakers more than non-native. It is a justification for discrimination. But I am a strong supporter of equal pay for equal work. |

Rare? I thought we were more like a dime a dozen... which is why salaries are stuck in the twalit.

Yes, a dime a dozen...due in part to the exodus from HCT.

Where I am, there are tons of applicants from the ME. I don't know if it is due to Arab Spring fever or not, but I would guess that is some if it. I also think there are better jobs to be had these days without all of the compromises of some ME countries.
Things not so great over at HCT? I thought they were the good guys. |

| No fees for photocopying, etc. Only patience is required at times. |
