And while I know some people are working hard beyond official hours in both areas, the majority aren't, and there is large excess employees in both sectors, and the recent increases keep driving more people from private sector back, defeating purpose of da3m al-3mala and privatization.<br /><br />I'm not envying anyone who earns his money. But the problem is when every sector arranges for a strike that will put the whole country to halt, and arm twist to get undeserved raises. Now lab Drs are arranging for strike in October, and more will follow, just like more have happened before. It's an endless loop of striking to get massive raises. Those raises do not distinguish the hard working from those who do not even show up for work, and it creates market inflation that back fires.<br /><br />So many friends of mine in oil sector are saying the increase is too much. My Eng. friends in government also confirmed salary raises for Eng was way over-blown. Net result is, it doesn't make sense for engineers now to work in private sector anymore. Because working or not, there is huge sum of money in government and oil sector.<br /><br />Sorry for the long comment, but all these raises (and some have benefited me) are without any study, does not reflect on performance at all, and is draining this country's resources.Basharnoreply@blogger.com
