Time is running out

We have heard a rumor that many Maldivian staffs are warned to cut there hair or the management will be forced to do so by the Barbra yasser. What do you think you are? You are nothing but ruining Maldivian’s life. Maldivian staffs working in wataniya are forced to leave wataniya one way or another.
Keep your royal gayness with you and don't try to spread in Maldives. We will publish a copy of fiyes Magazine regarding the interviews with many wataniya staffs based on issues in wataniya.

dood

i enjoyed reading the first few articles but now its starting to sound funny

what you are trying to say about appearance of employees. i believe every company has the right to get their employees to be shown respectable to the general public. They should abide by these rules and i believe its not only wataniya. DO YOU THINK DHIRAAGU will even keep employees who have VERY LONG facial hair, LOng hair, earings and studs??? do you think Any respectable company would keep employees like this? i think Wataniya have been too linient to be honest to keep these poeple without any warning for too long, so as you said their is a problem with Wataniya Telecom in this. But he problem is NOT because they have told employees to cut their hair now, but because they have not taken any action or given any warning previously.

Anonymous said...

no the problem is that selfish people like you try to protect the inhuman acts done by the f**kin company. justify that cuttin hair is worth loosing employees.

Anonymous said...

when you work for employers, you have to follow their books. its a general rule of employee employer cookbook for dummies.

so just5 because you cant behave or do any6thing you want in the workplace, dont bring out your anger on the company.

Anonymous said...

we are talkin about the stuff they make up after people joinin the company (so called newly made policies ) should they follow it, or it is just made for them to be demotivated and fired. work in wataniya in the position of one whose got this, and u'll know what everyone is talkin about, so shut u'r f**kin pee hole
