A message from a former wataniya staff.

When I found out about inside wataniya I thought whoever has started thisthing has done a really great job. So for those of you who organized andmanage this... well done!

I used to work in Wataniya and I left the company because it was anextremely unpleasant company to work in.When Wataniya first began itsoperations in the Maldives those Kuwaiti people and seniors of WataniyaInternational promised the Maldivian citizens a great place to work in,excellent communication facilities and above all they claimed to set thewages higher than what other companies in the Maldives offered. They gavehigh hopes to the citizens and anyone who has either worked or is currentlyworking at Wataniya will know the reality of Wataniya. People like YasserAbdel Hakim think that Maldivians are stupid and just because they earnseveral times more than what the Maldivians are paid they think that theycan treat the Maldivians like shit. Yasser you are wrong! Some day you willhave to pay for this!
The company does everything the management gurus and what good managementadvice says NOT to do. Wataniya has only been in the Maldives for just 1year, but look at it! Some of the best employees have left the company fordifferent reasons. But what is common with all of them is problems with themanagement. Let's just hope that Yasser by going to this HR seminar in Lankalearns something atleast. For one thing the ass can't even speak properEnglish! This leads me in to the next major problem.
The management team are always travelling abroad for this seminar and thatconference. And, they take holidays whenever they want. When these peoplecame to the Maldives didn't they say that they were going to transfer theknow how and skills to the Maldivians? If so, why don't any Maldivians getthe chance to travel abroad? Wataniya's management team is just good for onething..Bull shitting!
Referring to the article where it says that Yasser had been giving perfumesand inviting female staff to go on office picnics, I know damn well whatkind of jerk he is. I remember, during on of the earlier offical trips to aresort he was canoodling with some of the girls in the sea. I know forcertain that one of the girls got on his back and stuff. Is this how heshould interact with his employees being a so called boss? But then again,the girl herself did say that her purpose of going on the trip was to butterup Yasser. I bet she got what she wanted!
I am just appalled at Wataniya. and if I anyone is searching for a job, myadvice would be .. don't even think about applying to Wataniya and the samegoes for those who want a mobile connection kit.

its very simple. the management is not professional. Look at the words "accepted with pleasure" , will a CEO or a HR manager write that in official documents? Shows how unprofessional he/they are. Also I suppose, the fact that he/they reacted to this blog made things even worse. Maybe this blog is not a result of one or two such events. It is most likely that this is due to a series of activities and events. I hear the foreigners are paid well in vataniya and maldivians do all the work. There are no maldivains at decision making levels, shows that they are not given the opportunity. One example would be Mr. Ali Khalid. When mr.Ali K was in vataniya he was kept inside a box. It was said he was not capable and did not perform. The moment he left and took over as the CEO of TVM things started to change at TVM. Reality is even if you give people responsibility but no authority they cannot perform. The people will get frustrated, this is a fault of vataniya HR. They lack the basic 101's of HR Management. These are the very basics that you learn in very HR related class (if they attended any). vataniya management team is a big joke and others should learn from them. not to make those mistakes.

instead of blocking internet, i advice wataniya management provide job descriptions first. there are some staffs who worked more than 2 years without any job description. care about staffs first.

well, well seems the cat is out of the bag. what ever anyone thinks for sure wataniya needs to improve. Things would and should not have gone this far if not for a BAD management. But its normal the management will still blame any stuff who stands up against them. Or who does not lick their ass. Thats a very arab thing. If anyone wants to success in wataniya everyday look out for yaasir, see when he is free. just go in, talk and bad mouth about a few others and for sure you will get promoted and noted. If you don't do that, you will be marked as a "trouble maker". Thats how its is now. Accept it or not. If anyone who is working in wataniya observes this they will see what I mean. You don't need to know shit about the work you do, you just need to know how to bluff and lick the ass of your boss. Thats all it takes to be a winner at wataniya. Everyone knows this. For people who will stand against this what I have to say is go ask around. And yeah and you can make go money out of deals too, just pass a share to the right people. Hope these are useful hints to be a winner at wataniya. Its not just corrupted arabs and sri lankans its maldivians as well. I don't blame them too. They can't get any other job which will pay good and have to do no work. So they will do their best to have those jobs and have a strong hold too. So guys who are making this blog, give up. You stand no chance against these people. Go find better jobs and be happy. If you have the confidence why be bothered. Follow the lead of the good people who left the company with their pride.
