Thank you so much bajesus. People are so quick to judge and comment about things they know nothing about.

Both my wife and I left very good jobs to come work for Al Jazeera with our three kids, and were under the assumption that we would be looked after. This is what AJE promised.

Benefits aside, I work a 70 hour week, and after all these cut backs am not getting paid very well like some people like to assume.

Jauntie, you forgot the part where people work their asses off to get these benefits and most of those quotes you mentioned are invalid and false. You have no right to judge me or AJE staff.

The loyalty of the staff has been overwhelming considering the way we have been treated since Salem has joined.

Recently we had a HR meeting with Salem- the staff being so fed up with his obnoxious behaviour they threatened to resign. Since then 10 people have resigned.

We do not understand why we were brought out here in the first place.
If we go home we no jobs to return to and have to relocate the kids again, which is so unfair on them.

I just wish we knew how this organization operated before we joined as we are shattered not knowing what to do, or who to turn to.

Thank you for your advice bajesus, I really appreciate it. I was about to give up on this forum with the snide, unfriendly, and condescending comments.

God bless you!
