I’ve had enough. The problem is that the job market back home is really bad.

Try harder…
Seems to me you don't have much choice. Lose the "Ive had enough" attitude, just go with the flow. Make your stay there more enjoyable.
This person doesn’t represent majority of expats. So many of us love this country and its people very much. We just hope to be able to leave on our own terms rather than being surprised and without a job one day.
Let us not forget the outstanding contribution to the great Aramco story by stellar American (and other) expats who came to the kingdom to work. They've been grateful guests and workers in the Kingdom and amassed great wealth for the Kingdom to today.
Not too far ahead into the future, the Saudi's will realise they have failed and lost. Pushing out their key assets, their skilled expat workers, is pure business su----e through stupidity, incompetence and negligent.
Oh what a surprise. the chat gpt comments from aramco PR have arrived.
All I see in this post and the comments are a group of people afraid to go out and get some “pay dirt.”
This post does look like a child is playing on the Internet.
The post warrants a Fake Account Alert Award. The story is made up.
Looks like the thobes have arrived!
He's jealous because Eid can't come soon enough for him to leave the country!
The original post sounds like a teenager who is bored today.
Sell as much as you can. You can hire movers for the rest if necessary. Then take out a loan and do a runner across the Causeway to Bahrain. Aramco will continue to pay you for the next couple months while you are at home looking for a job. Consider it all payment for emotional duress. Don't worry about the loan....first you will never set foot unside a GCC country and second the Saudi's are too lazy to come after you (or will wait until the statute of limitations run out). Best of luck finding a new job!
So why are you posting here?!
I suspect that your “Back Home” is in the U.K. or the U.S.. It is hoped that you have the drive to make looking for a job in your home country a full-time (during-the-workday) mission of necessity.
They’ll need farm laborers in California, just like they did in Steinbeck’s book “The Grapes of Wrath.” The job skills you attained while working at the Company will be a perfect fit for you in a rewarding career as a Top Hand Fruit Picker. Don’t eat too much of the fruit, as you’ll get the “skitters.”
I bet you are British and left a half decent job that’s no longer available? Join the club. You’re stuck here for years, learn to live with it!
