Thread regarding Saudi Aramco layoffs

From the Wall Street Journal

Expatriate Executives Flee Saudi Arabia’s Bad Bosses

In the summer of 2020, two videogame companies canceled sponsorship deals with Saudi Arabia’s planned city-state of Neom following fan complaints about the country’s human-rights record. Neom Chief Executive Nadhmi al-Nasr called an emergency meeting on a weekend and asked his communications team why it hadn’t warned him this might happen.

“If you don’t tell me who is responsible,” Mr. Nasr said, according to people with direct knowledge of the meeting, “I’m going to take a g-n from under my desk and shoot you.”

Nasr is a former Aramco guy and a favorite of MBS. Welcome to new normal.

Very interesting read from the WSJ.

The vitriol on this site from the Saudi 50 cent brigade says it all.

That camp, looks really crowded and compacted, why the futuristic city can apply same principles to their development?. If you have a nice camp area people will want to stay longer. It is the same why locals enjoy so much Dhahran camp, green areas, big houses and parks. That camp remember me Rakkah compound, nice houses with a lack of facilities.

I red it, extensive, well documented. I thought real message is how difficult will be to materialise all this projects with closing 2030 deadline and with all this changes in staff.

It's a really a beatifull area, I hope doesn't impact Red Sea, specially the Hexagon Project.

Good thing, golf course is ready.

A troll is Internet slang for a person who intentionally tries to instigate conflict, hostility, or arguments in an online social community.

Trolls often use inflammatory messages to provoke emotional responses out of people, disrupting otherwise civil discussion.

Trolling can occur anywhere that has an open area where people can freely post their thoughts and opinions

So, who are the trolls?.

The real trolls on this site are the Millennials (not all of them) that post stories like this one in an attempt to dirty the reputation of the company.

The real story is nothing more than a complaint about politics, not working conditions at Saudi Aramco.

2020 was a bad year for the company, due to the pandemic. Layoffs did occur for reasons beyond KSA’s control.

Google the first sentence of the post and it leads to the WSJ. Interesting read. Not necessarily a negative story.

The trolls on the other hand, and their b-m fetishes, are an embarresment to the company and the kingdom.

Time to stop boys, and go back to watching videos on your phones.

If this is supposed to be from the WSJ, why can’t you cite the original source? The article cannot be validated with suspicious links to “Other-Than-WSJ” origins.

Source: not affiliated with WJS at all. Looks like another Fake News Post that cannot be validated. I hold M.Sc. in Library Research.

I posted the part of the article on the WSJ public site that can be viewed without being a WSJ subscriber. Just google it. If you want to read the whole article, you will need to either subscribe or find another source.

Now ... trolls be gone!

Actually, wsj is behind a pay wall. However, techaia has the full version of the story available to read for those who are interested.

It would be better to read the Wall Street Journal directly than to see the Fantasyland Story from an Immature, Low IQ Millennial.
