Spare a thought for those at the other end
Society has all kinds of people - we all can’t be CEOs, MDs, HRMs, clerks or engineers - but we can all have a decent pay, off days, normal working hours, normal housing conditions and being able to keep our passports so we do not feel like we are detained or enslaved!
‘We are not asking for apartments with a gym and swimming pool, we just need the “ground leveled”. The ministry of labour should check! Five hours of sleep after 12 hours of work every day without an off day is not good either.

“Tell me more about how bad is security guy's destiny. What about sewage plant labor? Painters? Can you imagine sand blaster's job (+50 Celsius, heavy protection space suit , noise like in hell, and sand just everywhere)? If you can do anything else, finish contract, go and find job of your dream.”

“Rather baffed by the inclusion of clerks on that list, but otherwise it's a good point.”

“Brian you have a valid point but as they say in George Orwell book, animal Farm; "all animals are equal but some are more equal than others," .......needn't say more!”

“I agree... Guards have a very tough job. They are on their feet 12 hours. Have to be alert all the time. In some places they dont have the air conditioned cubicles either to sit in. While maids have the comfort of living in the houses. Even the gardeners are out all the time in the heat doing their work. Feel bad for the guards, gardeners and the labourers the most.”
