75% OF WATANIYA STAFF SEEKS FOR JOBS SECRETIVELY

75% of the staff employed in WATANIYA is seeking jobs from other companies as well as from the government. This is not just any bull-shit rumor which is spreading in the company. A company which promised to be run by the Maldivian’s in the third year seems to be a sack of lies.

It is not very far from the beginning of the third year, hence there are no Maldivian’s employed in the higher posts. A very sensible explanation was given to the TAM by the CORRUPTION LEADER OF WATAN IYA, MR. YASSER. “YET THERE ARE NO MALDIVIANS WHO ARE QUALIFIED ENOUGH TO FILL THE DECISION LEVEL POSTS”. The question is… isn’t the management capable of training people for the posts? It’s very true that WTM has not done much on training staff on executive level posts. Hence the management always seeks to throw a person who comes even near a post like that.

If the WTM management think your staff is happy, then you are very wrong. If it’s the case why would every one seek for jobs in different locations?

Just imagine those employees suffering in the CCR. Yes they have issues which are neglected for several times. Who cares?? Ruchir gets his salary so why should he bother?

Just imagine the way Ruchir interviews for the new recruits to be joined. A person waiting for it from morning gets a chance in the afternoon, and when he gets the chance he just asks, “WHAT TYPE OF TELECOM DO YOU USE?” And if he’d say DHIRAAGU, the chances are closed forever.

These are real situations where anyone can see the unprofessional ethics.

Is wataniya International blind?

Three Maldivian staffs of wataniya who works in IT was suspended last Thursday. Suspension?? is wataniya a school or an office? The reason gave by IT Director MR. Lalith (Wannabe IT Director) was they are coming late to office. Normally the policy maker Mr. Didi, Lalith, Ruchir and his master MR. Yasser catches ten or twelve's ferry for hulhumale'. We have seen that several times.
Usually we see HR and finance staffs coming late to office. Is anyone aware of this? were there any action taken? we are sure that they wont see that. Managers and Directors are late to office and they don't get any punishment for that. Normal staffs are suffering because of them.

Wataniya International should treat everyone equally or leave Maldives immediately.

THE MOST UNFAIR INTERIM C.E.O EVER….

Being passed a year for the service of Wataniya Telecom Maldives, she is preparing for the next humongous ceremony in its life in the Maldives. YES, Wataniya is launching its SUBMARINE CABLE tomorrow. Almost all the staff was waiting for this day. Those who participated practically and mentally in this project would say “PHEW”.

It’s not a surprise that anyone who belongs to Wataniya would really be waiting to join this ceremony. Like they were proud to say “I’M A WATANIYAN”. But something seemed to change the plans. No more staff at this ceremony. I think someone needs to raise the question quick to get some stooooopid answers.

YASSER had his plans finalized sometime ago. It’s only the board of CORRUPTION and their subordinates would attend the ceremony. All others are to sit and weep. What a joke?

As you may all know, Mr. Ahmed Haleem (who is the Head of this region) is invited to the ceremony held tomorrow. And since he will be here for a short period of time, there will be people waiting for this opportunity. The HEAD OF CORRUPTION MR. YASSER, will hide his all nasty acts and so as Mr. Didi the so called HR manager whose voice is never heard when a staff is in need of help.

Ever wonder these things are true? Why don’t you go and see the facts for real this time?

Another victim of yasser

Within first quarter of this year wataniya lost more than seven staffs. Who will be responsible for all these staffs? definitely Didi should be responsible for who is in wataniya. As an HR Manager he did not fulfill any duty for a staff. Recently, noora (yasser's secretary) was terminated. We don't know what is wrong with wataniya management. So people who support us. Please tell us (wataniya Maldivian staffs) what to do?

WTM Loosing staffs.

Very recently we got an news from an inside wataniya staff that Mr. Azhan, Mr. Irfan and Mr. Munawar had resign from wataniya. After we got the news and when we dig for updates we knew that there are forced to resign.

Mr. Azhan was the best programmer that wataniya had and he was forced by the management to resign because he is having connection with Mr. Afzal (former wataniya staff). The thing that we don’t understand is what the problem is by having friendship with a former wataniya staff. Friendship ship won’t get weak by force; I think wataniya management should give a reasonable reason before they force others to resign.

Mr. Irfan also forced to cut his hair. But we never have seen this kind of action in any Maldivian companies including government companies. We are not sure that wataniya is a school or an office.

Mr. Munawar requested Mr. John for some changes and at first john agreed and later on he refuse that he agreed for that. Actually john have no power to execute a command, he is a puppy of yasser.

End result for all these guys was resigning wataniya and join a better company which listen to staffs thoughts. Without staffs rights you can’t win a company.

USELESS PEOPLE ON USELESS PRICES…………

No wonder an IT management is considered worthless with people like MR. AHMED BOUCHAMA who is a hollow in the IT field. A useless expert who downloads SOFTWARES from the internet and uses them in programs related in IT. All he ought to do is edits the whole software a bit and uses it. This whole process later leads to a diastral fact that if something creates havoc in that software, Mr. Bouchama never gets himself responsible for it, besides he won’t even know how to fix it.

HE, WHO SQUEEZES IN BETWEEN THE ONION AND THE PEEL, PICKS UP ITS STINK. (Arabic Proverb) This proverb is about CORRUPTION.

THE CAMEL NEVER SEES ITS OWN HUMP, BUT THAT OF ITS BROTHER IS ALWAYS BEFORE ITS EYES. (Arabic Proverb) This proverb is about CRITICISM.

Bouchama has his staff as developers working for him in the IT department of WTM, who are Maldivians. They are: Sobah, Shafiu and Sofath who are keen on their tasks.

Its quite time that you all had been in blind for what’s really going on….

Mr. Bouchama would have everyday tasks for these employees. They take it as a challenge and tend to finish off it as quick as they can.

BUT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Mr. Bouchama himself takes advantage of the whole work as if it’s his own and takes it to the management and gets all the credits. Whilst the management is blind on the fraud act committed by the incapable professionals like these hired by Wataniya Maldives.

FORMER HEAD OF SALES MR. NIHAD FORCED TO RESIGN BY WTM HR….

According to sources insidewataniya, former Head of Sales Mr. Ablo Nihad, sometime today, has been advised by HR Manager Mr. Didi to terminate his services to Wataniya.

Before Mr. Nihad was advised to tender his resignation on his own, his LAPTOPCOMPUTER was stolen from his desk by Mr. Dinesh Durairaj by the strict order of Mr. Didi as Mr. Dinesh was showing his obedience to follow an order as this was discussed earlier. These kinds of unethical, unprofessional and extremely low graded actions are becoming a second nature inside Wataniya. With such actions prevalent it casts heavy doubt whether Wataniya can deliver its communicative services already shows signs of wear and tear and under a bunch of untrained handful of people like:

C.E.O Mr. Yasser
H.R Manager Mr. Didi
Sales Consultant Mr. D Durairaj

Whose prime concern is to use company wealth corruptively for personal gangs?
By forcing Mr. Nihad to resign on his own, Wataniya Maldives would unjustly save 3 months salary that is entitled to him if Wataniya were to ask him to resign.

EXCERPTS OF UN-OFFICIAL TRANSLATION OF SOME KEYPARTS OF THE ARTICLE PUBLISHED IN “FIYES MAGAZINE” NO: 221 14 FEB 2007.

STAFF COMPLAINTS ON THE INCREASE IN WATANIYA

“THE BONUS PROMISED TO ITS STAFF AT THE INAUGRATION OF WATANIYA HAS STILL NOT BEING GRANTED”

“It remains a fact that Wataniya management may treat two employees who hold identical jobs with bias. Promises made by Wataniya management have never been fulfilled for many of its staff, hence enthusiasm for continuing to serve the company is on the diminish”

This information has been forwarded by a Wataniya staff.

According to him, raising matters that need urgent attention that may enhance staff development is also a threat and such personnel who raise similar matters are easily blacklisted. Some of these blacklisted employees have terminated their services at various junctures, while others who have raised such matters have been forced to terminate their services by the management of Wataniya.

These complaints made by staff are met with denial by the Human Resources Manager, Mohamed Ahmed Didi.

Didi claims that, “We perceive our staff the same way as we perceive our customers; this is because in either of the case when ever something crops up, they will be unhappy with the management. Talks heard in this way may become common. It may be possible that an employee who is unhappy with the management or a former employee who was terminated had raised such issues. At policy level, there is no discriminating among any of Wataniya staff”

“At the launching ceremony, it was promised to give bonus to all staff. One year lapsed after launching; however no staff has received any bonus. Many of the employees who were then working at Wataniya are no longer with the management”

This piece of news comes from an employee who has been employed at Wataniya since its inauguration.

Even the Human Resources Manager, Mr. Didi agrees that bonus money has to be given to all staff.

However, an employee claims that, the talk of this bonus was heard only in the first few months after the inauguration of Wataniya but later, the management surreptitiously and deliberately swept the issue of giving the bonus under the carpet.

Many staff who worked laboriously at the launching is no longer with Wataniya now. Mr. Didi was asked whether, the employees who were present at the launching, but now who had already terminated would be eligible for the bonus?

Mr. Didi stated that, whether they are eligible or not will be decided by the management.

Fiyes is in receipt of the news that, some of its present employees are deprived of their overtime. At least one employee is on strike and refusing to perform his duties due to the fact that he hasn’t been paid his overtime allowances. Mr. Didi of course, denies this allegation.

Also, Mr. Didi denies that internet connections to its employees are restricted because many employees enter the site “INSIDE WATANIYA”

Didi claims:

“We have not imposed any restrictions for our staff to use the internet. However, some restrictions are imposed on grounds that there are some internet issues of bandwidth. According to Didi, this type of restriction of using the internet is beyond by all participants of Wataniya”

This is a comment from a blog reader

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. That’s 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". That’s 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. That’s 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 well 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.

DINESH I THINK YOU SHOULD READ IT AND STOP LICKING THEIR ASS.......

WTM PRIMARY SCHOOL HAD A PARENT MEETING….PREMATURE DEPARTMENT HEADS AND SUPERVISORS.

WTM PRIMARY SCHOOL announces all the boys to cut their hair and it should be all black and tuck their shirts with black pair of trousers, shave their beards because Ruchir never had a beard. Socks should be worn and shoes should be black. Some parents are not very happy about it because it was not the principal’s decision. It was a head of some other department.

All girls should color their hair black except MAHTHOOMA, who happens to be girlfriend of this department head. Wear short skirts with long sleeved shirts. All the girls who wear BURUGA are exceptional on this change in dress code. What a waste of money says the parents. But no argument could be done; any body that is against this should leave the company.

At this point, where is the PRINCIPAL????
Is it the hair or the makeup which does the work or a friendly environment???

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE MARKETING BUDGET

Eleanor who was the former Marketing director of WTM, an expert who was brought to the company by the authorities. She was confident in challenging Dhiraagu who completed a feasibility report about marketing Wataniya in the Maldives. She was a close friend of yasser too.

It was not less than a week; she started to point her fingers on almost all the staff working in WTM, for not performing up to her marketing standard. She was hospitalized in one of the most luxurious apartments which can be found in town. (AAGE) which is the Bank of Ceylon.

Are you concerned about the rent? Don’t be silly; the company pays for the rent, food, travel, phone and attractive remuneration. She was really prepared to apply whatever she had learned from her experience in different parts of the world. Yet she forgot to study about the Maldivian’s and the culture.

The company provided her the budget to spend on marketing. She was much too smarter than the company ever thought. Her first priority was to design cartoons for each service which WTM introduces. Therefore she managed to sign up an agreement with “THINK” (WTM most unreliable marketing partner) to draw cartoons. She was brave enough to spend 1million on that. But what did the company earned in return? Just compare it to the Dhiraagu adds.

Take a few minutes to examine an advertisement of WTM in Majeedhee Magu, A man with a laptop on a yacht. If I am not wrong this is an advertisement we saw earlier with the Dhiraagu Logo, the same concept. So it can never be challenging I guess.

Eleanor is an outgoing person who likes to explore the beauty of Maldives. She spends most of the weekends, in resorts with her fellow colleagues. No worries, WTM is there to pay the bills. But the silly question is, “WHO BRINGS THE MONEY IN?” if she was spending from her own pocket, her salary would be in thousands of dollars.

Where is Eleanor now? Why did she resign? Do you want to believe that she quit just because she didn’t like her job? Or was she forced?

Why can’t she be brought to justice? Where is the money she spent on resorts instead of marketing? Where is the phone she took from the company? Did she sign the clearance form? Was it evaluated? Was she penalized for the short notice?

Was Eleanor responsible for not preparing the marketing team? What about her targets? Was she given a target?

Well my colleagues, its time you all should stand up. Raise your voice, but you got to work as a team

Whatever the charges brought to a company may not resume the man power it is the ethics, which people have to follow in reaching destinations.

Of course it is not forbidden to seek help from the experts, nor doesn’t it mean degrading. But the most important point is to enforce the best sources on the experts.

But as a former wataniyan , I would say its nothing but the opposite of all the good.

WTM has become one of the most popular issues flying over the company who has tons of internal problems over the company. The HR manager is a “puppet” who is controlled by “yasser” Do you ever know??? “Yasser” is now the Interim CEO, Head of Sales, Director of HRM as writer whispers”

It is not a big secret that WTM is hiring experts as consultants from Kuwait, Iraq, Lebanon, and Amman for the managerial posts, in which they are sure of they can provide them a great company. So they could have great fun in the Maldives.

“PROFESSIONALS DO NOT FIGHT FOR RIGHTS” IS WHAT YASSER & JOHN SAID…..
