Thread regarding Saudi Aramco layoffs

Brain rotting away working here

I am mentally unchallenged and my brain is rotting, working for this excuse of a company.

I spend day after day dealing with arrogant imbeciles and doing paperwork just like an intern.

He do you old timers keep things going? Any pearls of wisdom?

I fear aramco is slowly driving me crazy. My plan was 2 years of $$$,, but I might not make it.

Replying to coffee and cigarettes suggestion. Don’t drink coffee. It will keep you awake.

If you got taken hook, line and sinker by the HR folks and their hype and lies about a career at Aramco, don't waste you career, future and life working for this.company. Its not too late, start planning your exit. Gone are the days expats can develop their skills and career at Aramco. It is incomprehensible to me how this company even functions at all.

No shortage of “courses” to take at Aramco, most of them are utterly pointless though and not worth the paper they are written on. Good luck getting anything externally recognised approved.

Spend your time out there educating yourself with as many in-house courses that you can sign up for.

It will help on your job hu ting post layoff.

Use time wisely, most of expats in that boring jobs get their Doctorate and PhD or submitting papers or you can help locals with their no purpose patents.

My brain is completely rotten. Don't think I can work anywhere else. RIP. Retired in place. Just counting down the days. Had a promising career just up to the point of getting on the plane. No regrets though. Just know what you're getting into.

$$$$????

From what I understand, Aramco no longer pays well. You must have been really poor in the first place or have gotten extremely lucky with the HR lottery.

What is so hard about it?

come in late, leave early.
have lots of yellow sticky note appts; house maint, clinic, auto repair, inspection etc..., govt offices, bank etc,...really a never-ending supply of time-wasting possibilities here.
take numerous coffee and smoke breaks.
keep lots of excuses in your back pocket for late completion dates.
spend your work time planning your OOK trips.

Do this for 20 years and go home.
What could be simpler?
