Discover Jeddah : Work Hard Pay Less to Nothing


Most individuals are making ventures to other places for seeking a greener pasture, for good life. Many found their destiny in other areas, and found it to  be useful  and so much helpful and fruitful.

In the Middle East, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia is one of the places that many people dreaming to be working in.While  many are enjoying the privilege and the pleasure of the place  many are also suffering.

I met Vic, an engineer in a construction firm in Jeddah, good to know that his company in his labor
helped him a lot and he was able to build a decent home and still have an apartment for lease in their country in the Philippines.

Ahmad, a Draftsman, I am pleased to know that he was the one who provided the needs and expenses of his sister's wedding in India through his effort and because of the good compensations he received in his company.

Both Vic and Mohammed are some  of the many expatriates enjoying the benefits and glory  on their their company in Jeddah Saudi Arabia.

But what if not all employees experience as Vic and Ahmad, or what if the other employers are doing in an opposite that Vic and Mohammad company? What might be the outcome of their lives in their adventure abroad.


Ashraf aslo discovered Jeddah, work as a driver in the area, hired middle of 2011, but so sad to know that by the first year of 2012, his loved ones went and made complain at the agency who processed Ashraf's documents in India, by the time they were hired until 2012 the family received no support from Ashraf, sadly, Ashraf and the whole batch traveled with him did not receive any wage even up to 2012. They are only receiving their food allowance 150.00 - 200.00 Saudi Riyals.


Ashraf is just one of too many individuals who tried to find greener pastures abroad but experience so bad. Sad part is, many of these expatriates are having family that fully relying on them. Their family that fully dependent on their hard-earned cents.

Just a reminder to those who are seeking for a better life in the other places, not only in Jeddah, but all over the world, make sure and make sort of investigations that will assure the fulfillment of your  dreams. Working abroad should be a way to achieve our dreams, not a devastation and a nightmare.


This is one another great thing that we have to discover in Jeddah today.
