Thread regarding Saudi Aramco layoffs

From the Financial Times

Missiles, bullying claims, a tragic death: what’s going on at Saudi Aramco?

When Alwyn Whitcher took a job with Saudi Aramco in 2017, he believed he was joining a company with a history of valuing the expatriate engineers who helped build and run the desert kingdom’s state oil giant. Three years after the South African started work at the Saudi Arabian cash cow, his dead body was tipped from the digger of a JCB into a rudimentary grave at a site that looks like a landfill.

I don't know who you are or where you are from, but you have a sick train of thoughts. No money in the world should excuse or justify this, period!
And again, the money you guys are making out there is not a lot of money in the industry. Definitely not before, but today, most expats make more money than you guys make... So don't trick people to settle for less and especially for things that could cost their lives.

It's from Financial Times, two years ago, I always think that you reach your goal once you leave, money is out and all your family is ok. Big money is not free, you are being compensate for the rough environmental conditions and several hazards from the job, that's way some expats when they get paid said "apologies received".

Everything in this article sounds spot on when it comes to how Aramco fails supporting the expats working for the company. The.message is aramco is "discombobulated", bureaucratic and slow to meets the needs of is expat employees. This article paints the true image of Aramco today. Good work WSJ.
