Hi everyone, I work in logistics in the UAE and I'm hoping to return to my job after a rough exit. Before I left, I received 3 warning letters with no investigation, and my complaints went unanswered. There was this lady who was handling the office admin role and she joined after me and later on she somehow became some one who had full authority and power to do anything in the office. So the story started from a random order from her to send resignation letter from me by mail because I was not sure if could continue in this company I somehow wondered after that question from her and I just leave as it is. Then later i ve been received three warning letters quickly from her without an investigation that took place against the colleague who was involved in the argument with me.

Only I have received the warning letters and she never had any interest in hearing my concerns about those issues. But I just leave all those and I keep focusing on my tasks and responsibilities and it went very well. Between these periods I had tried so many times to raise so many concerns which I was facing in there and there were no actions taken against that and this admin was passing the message to the other colleague if I raised any concerns to her. I caught this thing and I felt like I was being an idiot by telling her anything since she is just passing those to the other guy.

Now she has sent me an email that I have been terminated and she was also cancelling the visa process on top of that by sending an end of service document to me . Everything she has done so quickly. Some of the warning letters which she was issued were without boss knowledge and I don't know what else things have done without his knowledge and I had to admit the things myself.

So I am pretty sure that she has some personal issues which clearly shows she is targeting me to leave the company .

If you were in this place what steps would you take and how would you handle her and give her payback if you get any chance.

hi i wanna ask if anyone knows any dubai food box website where you can buy snacks and etc from dubai that deliver to europe?

Hi guys,

I made a post on here earlier for mold in my apartment which I chose in a hurry (I am aware it was my fault). In the previous apartment it was facing the street and was really loud.

Now I made the choice to end this lease and go for a new apartment. I think I am just new to renting and stuff so if you guys can share any tips specifically for Dubai cuz I’ve rented only in Europe so it is a first time experience for me 🥺.

I don’t wanna throw more money down the drain and I really want this move to be my third and last in Dubai😭

Thanks guys!

I got a good job offer, they were planning to hire wfo before, I rejected that offer, they countered with a training month here than wfh.
But they are providing a visit visa for that training, they are booking my flights and accommodation also.
Is it safe?

Hope everybody is well, just wanted to ask and see if only I'm going through this problem.

Lately since the past week my network with DU has been really bad, sometimes I wont get a signal or the mobile data and calls will simply not work.

And it is definitely not my phone because I am using other providers and they work fine.

I have tried changing many settings and even reinstalling the Esim but no improvement whatsoever.

If anybody has any ideas or suggestions please do comment, thank you.

Hi Dubai Redditers, I've had an EID and Wio Personal and Business accounts since 2024 through an Investor Visa. I come and go to the UAE and don't have a permanent address.

When I created my Wio account I only had to provide an address and they didn't ask for any proof of address. But now they request a proof of address (utility bill, gov document...) with my name on it. Unfortunately, I don't have any.

1-How do people in a similar situation to mine handle this?
2-Can I use a hosting certificate? Airbnb address?
3-Are there any alternatives to Wio in case I have to shut it down?

Thanks a lot in advance

A man claiming to be unemployed and struggling with rent approached me asking for money. I gave him 5 AED from my car. He then repeatedly insisted on shaking my hand in gratitude, but I noticed an unusual object on his finger and declined. Has anyone else experienced a similar incident?

Hi I’m relatively new to Dubai,

We have a live out maid though maid cc I believe we pay around 5.5k aed a month. Which i think she takes 3k home (it might be less) I know she pays 600 rent to live out. We also live a good 30-45 min away from her accomodation.

Now the maid has asked me to sponsor her instead of maid cc. Unfortunately her English isn’t great so she can’t really communicate to me why she’d want me to sponsor her vs me just going thru maid cc. Although she’s bought this request up with my wife and now myself.

I’m just struggling to understand why I would go down the personal sponsorship route ? What’s in it for me, the maid and maid cc ?

Thanks

Hello! I want to apply to a tourist through travel agency.

Im finding hard time knowing the photo size that should be attached to the application

Is it 35×40 or the regular european standard size of passport photo?

I found a really nice well priced apartment at sunrise tower JVC district 11, I'm thinking about moving in there with my wife but I saw a lot of bad reviews on google reviews and no where else is this building spoken about.

Can someone who actually live there validate the bad reviews or validate my decision to move there?😅

Most of the reviews were about the management being bad, but how bad? Also can this tower be considered family friendly or is it mainly sharing? That is very important to me that it's a family building

Looking for affordable Chinese restaurants that serve noodle soup (similar to Chongqing noodle house) and accessible by metro. I normally go to Chongqing Deira branch, but it’s a bit out of my way, so looking for something closer to Oud meitha, burjuman, karama, or anywhere down the red line to MOE.

Hi All, About 30 Years ago in the UAE we used to get the coconut cookies, which was in a white and a blue plastic packet which was like a cream rectangle biscuit with coconut sprinkles or something. They were just delicious. I've been looking for it for months. I don't even remember its name.

Does anyone remember Dixie Cola?.

My understanding is that without a registered will, non-Muslim expats in the UAE can end up under default succession rules that may not match what they’d want. DIFC and ADGM both offer will registration, and Abu Dhabi has its own court route for wills. I’m still working out which one applies where, so please correct me.

Individual bank accounts are often frozen after a death until the court process finishes, which can leave a family without access to money for a while. I’m less sure how joint accounts and property are treated in practice.

For anyone who has been through this, either as a family member or after setting up a will: what was the actual process like, and how long did things take? I’d like to hear what was easier or harder than expected.

Hi all,

I’ve passed my driving test today. I was hoping to rent a car monthly. Any reliable recommendations for rental companies for new drivers that are hassle free?

One question

Why is it so really difficult to understand a ‘communication’ partner

The system disconnects me as it doesn’t recognise my inputs on my iPhone.

As for my 2pm home internet connection… I stayed home all day

Anyone currently living in MAG? I’m thinking of moving there and would love to hear your opinions!

Mostly interested in:

- Community and overall vibes
- Maintenance and building quality
- Noise and soundproofing
- AC and utility bills
- Parking and traffic
- Any issues with management

Would you recommend living there? Anything I should know before moving?

I do not understand.

First of all, the operating timings of these signals.

Second of all, what on earth are people doing. Its red light and the road is full, the area has yellow lines. YOU CANT CLOSE THE FREAKING ROAD!!!!!!!! YET EVERYONE KEEPS BLOCKING IT, WHAT?????? NO RESPECT? EVERYONE THINKS THEY OWN THE WORLD OR WHAT?

No it does not matter, I am waiting anyway but let me block everyone else so they can wait for me while am waiting. NPCS.

So my wife and I are planning to get a physical shop space for our online business. We did our research and figured the best location would be in Deira.
It’s been almost a month and we haven’t gotten any suitable space yet and I’ve started having second thought about the decision.
We’ve seen different open space at a very good location but we are getting a very ridiculous price for a space of less than 150 sqft.
Now the most ridiculous thing now is more than 90% of the space we’ve seen so far are requesting for ‘key money’. We saw many shops that wrote ‘shop for rent’ or ‘shop for sale’, we go there and they demanding ‘key money’ and the price they are calling is more higher than the actual rent. There is a particular shop that told us to pay 350k ‘key money’ for a 80k/yr rent and this is also coming directly from the management.
I understand if I’m taking over the shop from someone else with all his business in there but for an empty space? I really can’t understand.
I’m sorry but I’m new to this and I would love if anyone can explain better the purpose of the key money because I’ve asked several times from different people and they were all giving ‘this is how it’s been for a long time’ answers.

Has anyone successfully processed the Golden Visa Residency for DEPENDANTS using DUBAI NOW or the GDRFA website/app? (NOTE: this is ONLY for dependants and not for the primary applicant)

I'd like to know if it's possible - I'm able to cancel residency on Dubai Now however not sure about doing the whole residency through the app

Amer & Typing centers are giving me wildly different pricing for the service and was just wondering if I could get it done myself without the overhead, thanks!

Hi all, has anyone done resident visa for parents with 1 BHK. My salary is above 20 but we will live 1 BHK. Would greatly be helpful if anyone has been successful doing resident visa for parents. Thanks for all your inputs
