What a mistake
We hired the new guy finally this week, and he started on Monday. It turns out he is Pakistani, which I knew anyways. Worse comes to worse, he is not only Pakistani, but born in Saudi Arabia, and thinks he can speak Arabic well enough to talk to me. I didn’t tell him or will ever tell him that I was born there because I don’t want his conversations to end up with reminiscing his childhood and wasting my time remembering stuff I don’t want to remember.
Not only that, he continually tries to speak Arabic to me, and I refuse to talk back. Not only that, he speaks it wrong. Horrible grammar, no respect for feminine or masculine nouns, and thinks he can be buddy buddy with me. Even though I wrote his job description and had final say to hire him, but I am not a friendly person!
I am a pure evil person. I don’t care where anyone is from as long as they can do the job!
Not only that, he keeps talking to me non-stop, and then says words in Arabic that are of religious essence, but I don’t repeat them or even speak a word of Arabic at work or even want to, and then he tell me that I have to. I then do, and then he asks, “Are you Muslim?”
Here we go again, dejavu from my old job and hiring Muslim people that will criticize me for being a walking devil on earth.
May God help me and grow my patience. At least I can be bossy and I am slowly managing things the way that I want.
Oh, and this one lady today, DEAR LORD!, she pissed me off and all she does every single day is come up to me and complain about something. Then she bluntly told me to my face, “I know you don’t care how the software admin management system is supposed to work for me , but you have to do this and that.. blah blah.”
You know I got tired of her whining and complained to the bosses ASAP for such a false accusation.
Then she denied it and said, “Since when do I come to you with any problems or complaints?”
In my head I said, “You fucking bitch that has short term memory or lives in denial. That’s why we hired this guy because ALL YOU DO IS COMPLAIN!”
I don’t even have time to train him, he is taking over NOW! I don’t have time for this shit.

I looove FouseyTube!! All of his videos are... 
Even though I am a Pakistani , I can understand how you feel , and can sympathize with you : )
AHAHAH!! Sorry to laugh. I loved the story.
About the Pakistani’s Arabic, I’m wonderning whether guys like him are making Arabic subtitles in Bollywood films. A HORROR!! & worst, it’s shown on TV :vangry:
I don’t know about what made you allergical about your childhood in KSA (Ok, I don’t care. I preserve your intimacy
) I think you want to show you’re strict. That’s good and why not trying to know better about the new collabiorator? Don’t open too much the door & don’t close it with a PAF!! in fornt of him.
I want to talk about a woman in customs administration who’s making my job & my life a hell. Well, I bet she wants to be said that she put down a French shipping corp.
HEEELP!
All too familiar…
I call it conservia … and he probably wishes he lived here
Can you hire me instead ? (progressive muslim engineer looking to move out of Saudi)
Another great story. Funny b/c it’s so terrible and true.
Except for the “walking devil on Earth”, but hey it was really funny.
Aw I jst have to say. I hope this dosent make you think twice about hiring a muslim person. Yeah some are obnoxious etc.. But I don’t know there would always be that unsettling feeling knowing I turned down a brother/sister.
next time when he starts with arabic 2u, u just tell him,” i respect you brother,i have no ill feeling about you.i cannot tell to ur face what i want to say right now,so please go to internet, type the following site, and read the blog post, know what i want to say to u…

let me repeat again, “I RESPECT YOU AS A NICE PERSON”.
I know this may be an annoying time in the office, but do not go into work with an automatic and go on a rampage.
@Mohi
lol.. I have nothing against anyone.. I love all kinds of people. Just some people are 1@#!@#! annoying!
@Emomo
I have nothing against my childhood in KSA. I had great times there, but I don’t like to discuss it anymore because it is the FAR DISTANT PAST!
@Haitham Al Humsi
I can’t hire internationals.. barely can hire locals.. lol
hahaha..
@Leeroy Glinchy
Hehehe.. horribly true!!
@isssay
I have nothing against Muslims. On the matter of fact, I hired him because he was actually. I just don’t want him to make such a big deal that oh my god.. ANOTHER MUSLIM in such a small work place!!
People..
@myblog
Hmm.. no..
@Meyrick Kirby
Me rampage??? NO!!
@idiotic comments from the middle east
I delete comments and put them in spam. I don’t insult anyone to their face or mention anyone’s names. People who come to this site and do it to my face are very disrespectful and it makes you appear like the trash you are.
P.S. If you hate my site then leave and never come back. Why do you even bother?
In regards to the liar who stated she never said anything to you practically jepordizing your position/reputation. What a bitch. People like that will vent and say anything but when confronted run away with their tails between their legs.
‘And then says words in Arabic that are of religious essence’
Alhamdulillah, Mashallah, Subhanallah?
I love youre articulate and diplomatic description!
@Janet
I know.. I know.. and those people I have zero trust in..
@Mais
Yep yep.. that’s exactly what I meant Mais..
