Hey all... it s been a while i know but so much happened lately .. some good and some bad news unfortunately but this is life .. for the positive situations we have to happy and enjoy their moments and thank Allah for that .. as for the bad moments we have to remain patient and hope that it will become a good ending ..
Well i donno from where to start .. i finally got the termination letter from my company i donno why am smiling but it was like i was expecting it .. me and 12 other people needed to find a job within a period of 4 mnths which is somehow okay because we shud find sth good especially that our company will give us a transfer for our residency ..
well we re in February 2010 when they informed us i was in Lebanon n i cudnt attend the meeting but the guys told me and then when i came back my manager told me everything and how Saudi Telecom will not renew for us .. the thing is i always thought like i was some how untouchable coz my Saudi manager liked me a lot and he always used to say to me that he wants to keep me .. but the thing is that STC is refusing to renew for all Navlink regardless of who the people are .. anwya i started my job search and of course we had to keep working till like April although we will stay getting paid till June 2010 .. i had some interviews and I was close to join my roommate/brother/friend s employer but it just didn’t happen .. Why .. it s a long story .. but like they verbally said to me that they will hire me but I waited for too long till they send the offer although i contacted them several times .. and while waiting i got another and better offer .. and guess where!! In DOHA !! yes in Doha .. the place where i used to live since 2006 .. the place where i had great memories .. the place where i started counting on myself... so directly when i got the offer from a Omani company to be handling their operations in Doha i was like in a dream come true .. it s where i will join my old frds and my coz Issam .. but to be honest .. i was confused if i accept the offer or not .. coz the riyahd people i knew them and i almost knew all the employees there .. and their commission was amazing and most of all i was afraid of going to a company where i don’t know them especially after what happened with me with Navlink ..
what i did is that I had to ask my old sponsor in Doha for a No Objection letter in order to come back n work in Doha .. i need this letter unless i was out for 2 years.. in my case i was out for like 1 year 7 mnths .. and to be honest i wasn’t sure if my old sponsor in Qatar was going to give me this letter but hA this letter was ready in a few days ..
but still after i got it i wasn’t sure if i join the Qatar job or Riyadh .. now KSA offer was finally ready and i had to reply them .. i told them that another offer come to me whie waiting for them for like 2 mnths .. they put pressure on me n try to convince me .. especially that they know me and they know that i can get them many deals thru my contacts with STC .. anway since Doha offer was better .. not in terms of commission .. but like salary .. plus living in Doha wud be better for me and for my family later iA .. and it is a more senior role .. so actually all fingers were pointed to Doha ,, and i rejected Saudi offer ..
Saudi life was hard but i got used to it and in some time i felt at home .. anwya .. the best part is that from February when we knew that we were going to lose our jobs till April when the company wanted us to stop working for STC .. i was like going to work at 9 Am till the Azan for Zurh which was like 12 noon .. and then go lunch and then home lollll .. yes it was amazing ..no work and getting salary .. my Saudi manager was going crazy but he had to understand our situation .. but he told us that he can put us with another sponsor .. and which he was going to do with me ..coz I got a call in May from a Saudi company to work with them for STC with my Saudi manager.. i was in Beirut and i didn’t want to go to Riyadh just for the interview coz i already had like 2 offers in hand .. i asked for the salary he wud give but he said he needs to see me .. n i didn’t contact him after.. i just didn’t want to be a contractor for another company .. it s hard .. coz u donno for who to report to ..
Anyway from April when i stopped with STC i went to Lebanon n stayed there till june 20 .. i was also getting paid coz my contract was till june 30 .. so it was awesome .. lol ..
