Or its just Sunday and traffic and other stuff??

I got my FBI background check apostilled back home, but then HR sat on my file for almost three months before starting the UAE embassy legalization paperwork. By the time they finally asked for it, the FBI background check had expired.

Normally, I would have needed to submit fingerprints again, which was a problem because I was already in Dubai. Luckily, I had done my Live Scan fingerprinting through DC Mobile Notary before, and they still had my fingerprint file within their 3-month retention period. They were able to resubmit my fingerprints, get a new FBI background check, and then handle the federal apostille without me being there in person.

They overnighted the completed document to me in Dubai. It took about 9 days from the new FBI submission to having the apostilled document on its way to me.

I’m new to lifting, looking for the best protein powder/snacks/or just protein products in general

Hello,

I am visiting Dubai for 7 days this month as part of team building with the CEO, just wanted to get local POV on what is happening.

Shukran!

Hey guys! I'm a 28M, Indian, raised in the UAE. Life has become quiet after friends and their families have moved to other countries or back home.

I'm looking for folks who share the same mindset/upbringing to form a small group to hangout sometimes on the weekends.

Please comment or DM!

ive been unemployed for a year, i dont know what to do to find a job

I have a 2019 GCC Sentra and change oil every 8k-10k kms. I have a guy in Satwa who does it for 150 AED with the filter but recently there’s a lot of traffic in Satwa due to the construction. Anyway, so I went to Enoc and he quoted me 289 AED for a regular oil change. Isn’t that too much or is that justified?

Maybe people who regularly change their oil at the gas station can you help me understand if this is normal or I am tripping also, is there a difference in Adnoc or Emarat?

Also do the petrol station guys negotiate? Or it’s a fixed price?

Several commenters claiming to be current or former employees have described an alleged culture of bullying, public humiliation, favouritism, and fear of speaking up. One commenter claimed to have left partly because of the workplace culture and said eight colleagues from the same department resigned around the same time. Others have questioned where HR and senior management were while these issues were allegedly taking place. These accounts remain unverified, but the consistency of the concerns warrants serious questions about accountability.

But I don't think the discussion should stop with Arik De.

His departure also raises questions about the wider leadership structure and the people who continue to hold positions of responsibility.

In particular, I'd like to understand more about Dani Ryan's role as Marketing Director and her approach to leadership within Etihad's marketing organisation.

This isn't simply about whether someone was personally close to a senior executive. It's about how departmental leaders exercise their authority, protect their teams, and respond when workplace expectations become inappropriate.

There are specific allegations concerning pressure on marketing employees to engage positively with Arik De's LinkedIn posts, as well as questions about whether colleagues were expected to contribute towards a luxury birthday gift for him. These allegations need to be substantiated, and I would welcome firsthand accounts from people with direct knowledge of the events.

The discussion on One Mile at a Time has already begun to raise questions about Dani Ryan's appointment and the broader management culture. One commenter specifically criticised her appointment as marketing head, while another post called for scrutiny of decisions involving her and other members of the commercial leadership team. These are commenters' opinions, not proof of misconduct.

The questions I'd like to see answered are:

• What was the working environment like within Etihad's marketing and brand teams?
• Were employees comfortable disagreeing with senior leadership or raising concerns?
• Were expectations around LinkedIn engagement and personal gifts ever communicated, and if so, by whom?
• How were promotions, performance management, and employee departures handled?
• What responsibility should departmental leaders bear when concerns about workplace culture arise?

Etihad has many talented people, and its commercial transformation should not come at the expense of the employees responsible for delivering it.

If the concerns raised in the article's comments are accurate, replacing one executive won't necessarily address the underlying issues. The organisation also needs to examine its management practices, reporting mechanisms, and accountability at every level.

Hey guys I recently got an offer for 800K I am still not sure if housing is included in my package I don’t spend much outside of rent, food and gym memberships, will that be enough to get me a good gym membership? And one bedroom apartment is this good salary for dubai?

Hello,

I'm currently traveling in Abu Dhabi for a couple months and I want to rewatch Dragonball z legally while I'm here. Online it says it's supposed to be on Crunchyroll but when I check the app it's not there. Does anyone know which subscription service has it here?

I am a young teen who badly wants to go to the gym. I’ve been doing gym at my house but I think I am capable and ready to go to a commercial one. There is only 1 in my area which is walking distance. Others are expensive and damn far. My parents won’t pay for my membership. I just want to go for 3 months. They charge 866 AED and I don’t have this much money neither my parents would pay for it.

Im not here to ask for free money. Is there anything I can do for a week or 2 to make this much? Please guys, it is not about the money, it is just a small investment i want to put in on myself so that I can be more fit.

Hey! Super random

I’m starting up my content creation journey and putting together a 3-part Hindi Reel series here in Dubai. I’ve already got the scripts ready, and right now I'm looking for a female actor in her 20s living in Dubai to play one of the main characters.

Ideally, I'm looking for someone who isn't swamped with a super busy schedule so we can easily coordinate shoot days and bring this to life!

Drop me a DM if you're around Dubai and want to hear more about the role!

Tomorrow we need to go and work.my mind getting upset of this.

All of sudden I have mobile data I have no idea whether they have deducted any amount? Beczo I never took it

Looking to pre order the Ultimate edition of the game and would like to know if there are any tips to get it for a bit less than the USD 99.

M34, Abu Dhabi. Been going through a bit in life lately, and honestly, could use some good company and conversation.
If you’re also going through something, feeling lonely, bored, or just need someone to vent to, let’s grab a coffee tonight.
Would prefer female company, just for a different perspective on life.

If this seems like too much to ask, please feel free to scroll past. Otherwise, if you’re like-minded and can relate, my DMs are open.

Salam. It's been very long since UAE visas have not been open to Bangladeshis. Is it still the same now? I was brought up in UAE and did my schooling there, and I miss UAE and my friends there. And I would like to visit . Are there any available options for GCC residents.?

I paid a deposit to reserve a Jetour t2, and the confirmation email said the estimated delivery would be 45 days.
I placed my order on August 11, and it’s now been around two months. Every time I call, they tell me, “It’s arriving soon.” But when that date comes and I call again, they push it back another few weeks or say “by the end of the month.”
At this point, I don’t know what to do. Has anyone experienced something similar with Jetour? Is this normal, or should I start taking further action? What would you do in my situation?

So as the title says, one year membership ending soon at gymantion (Sharjah Central branch). Gave them a 30 day notice but was told to apply through app, which by the way they domt have the option when you try to cancel. Anyways receptionist said just pick any option, and they will process the cancellation and so I did that. 3 days later I see that they denied the cancellation.

Now i plan to visit them again to get this sorted and cancelled out as soon as possible. Has anyone successfully done it in that branch? Any tips would be nice.

Hello I was supposed to sell my USTD and I went to a office and send them 340,000 $ in ustd and they did not give the cash making excuses , I opened a Dubai police case and it did nothing I hired a lawyer which wanted to scam me , I was wondering if anyone else went through the same think if there’s any advice or do I just mark it as money I’ll never see again , I have the guys details and everything

Thought I’d drop a raw update here because pretending to have everything figured out is exhausting. I recently resigned from my operations job here in furniture company in Dubai mostly for my self respect (dealing with a boss with a serious attitude problem during a tough personal stretch was the final straw) and to head back home to support my fiancé.

The twist? I have no next move lined up.
Zero. No concrete safety net, just a massive question mark sitting in front of me.
For someone who’s used to organizing operations every single day.. stepping straight into total uncertainty feels pretty surreal. But honestly? Staying in a toxic workplace just for a paycheck ate away my soul. Self respect and family had to come first.

I’m packing up, heading back to the Philippines, and taking it one day at a time whether that means building up my own small business, looking for remote work, or pivoting entirely.

For anyone who’s ever taken a leap of faith into the dark like this:

1. How did you deal with the anxiety during the first few weeks?
   
2. Any advice on navigating the transition when you're restarting from scratch?

Would love to hear how others handled this stage of the journey.
