Golden handcuffs and obsession with European passports - Anonymous employee The Emirates Group Employee Review

Very difficult to get promoted from one grade to next - most wait for years. Internal vacancy's interview process is more of a façade (the person would already been have pre-selected by the department's hiring manager) Very little increment per year (only around aed 300 per year) Performance bonus is almost never dispersed stating silly reasons Obsession with individuals holding European passports. Discriminatory salaries on the same role & grade depending on nationality in passport Pays obnoxiously high for lateral entrants with European passports and does not value & respect existing loyal employees enough to promote them to the same role instead of hiring externally Incompetency is celebrated if you are a european passport holder
