Thread regarding Saudi Aramco layoffs

Toxic culture at Aramco

Summary below and I encourage people to think carefully before applying:

  • punitive approach: managers overreact to minor mistakes, pushing them harshly. Fear runs rampant.
  • hostility: bullying, gossip, cliques are widespread and allowed. Leaders sweep serious issues under the rug.
  • favoritism: certain employees receives special treatment.
  • unfair expectations: you're over capacity, with unreasonable workload and no resources. Deadlines are always urgent.
  • Lack of recognition: leaders routinely steal credit for others accomplishments.
  • Limited growth: learning is discouraged. You will not have career development.

So glad I got out of this hole. At some point, you need to respect "yourself" as a human being. This company is not a place for it.

@c9 as one myself, you should be TERRIFIED. Abort the mission.

@c9 you'll be a glorified secretary. If you are lazy and a "party girl" planning your escape to Bahrain at the weekends you may not mind it.
If you want to use your brain and skills, then you're going to be very bored. And depending on the Manager, treated like c**p.
Think carefully.

@1vm Yes, what a sad life. While expats get paid more than the naive locals and get to return to a first world country, you are stuck in the giant litterbox....and forced to marry your cousin. The reason you are at Aramco is, your family did not have the wasta to get you hired by the government.

Sad way to live life. Being untalented, and stuck inside an existence due to no other options, so you snivel on an anonymous layoff board. Yet, we all know you cling onto your job with all you can, some a**kissing included. Such a pathetic little muppet, probably throw other expats under the bus or encourage them to quit just to save yourself.

It's more about the Abu (insert name) in charge getting to shine than actually getting things done.

Typical behaviour of Insecure and incompetent managers and supervisors. I have seen it during my oil and gas career. ARAMCO was by far the.worst.

Is it this way also for the executive assistant role? Should I be concerned?
