Hello
Readers! So I have returned from the
dead – so sorry to disappoint my (many) enemies. Despite my enforced absence, Suede is happy to report a return to activity, and more tales of oppression and suffering to tell.
Anyway, a couple of months back I received
an interesting message from another (yes, another!) of the many HCT victims
that have emerged in recent times. In between the various verbal comings and
goings, I happened to ask her (i) just why she had just volunteered to come and
work for HCT, and (ii) whether she had seen this blog beforehand or not.
Well, my new colleague chose to ignore my
second request (still waiting, by the way!), and merely supplied the following
few lines.
I joined HCT in
March 2014, while it was still mostly run by western expats, because I wanted some
cash to buy a home. The more time I spent there, the least I liked the culture
and the savage oppression of expats, holding jobs over their heads. They run
everything by oppression and fear, to hide their malice, dishonesty, corruption
and ignorance.
So, that’s interesting, but nothing original
or worth getting excited about, I hear you say – and you are correct.
However, the really good news is that
later she sent me a whopping 800-word novella that I should be publishing very
soon!
So watch this space, comrades. I reckon the full story should be ready for publishing in a day or two.
And meanwhile, I would still like to know just why anybody has
taken up a position with HCT in the past few years, especially if they have
read the pages of this blog.
UPDATE: received from our 'novelist' above...
Regarding your questions, yes I joined freely but I wasn’t aware of what was going on or your blog. By the way, an Emirati colleague (middle manager) told me that 350 teachers left in July this year. She also said that nobody wants to work there now….they’ve accomplished their goal, to totally ruin the best educational institution in the Middle East, sad 😞
