Female Reliever???

I am in the wrong job! LOL

My charge is QR 40,000 for a month's relieving. can you afford it :)

we've seen several ads using this term 'reliever'...and I haven't read any comment until this particular ads. No offense but, the ads is intended for those looking for job 'desparately'....and if you're in a position to look for a job, just by reading at the ads...you easily understood what it means. Although it is 'gramatically incorrect'....I supposed we shouldn't make fun out of it?

maybe the one posting it is not an 'english grammar teacher'...but the intention is to look for someone who can 'relieve' her while she's away?

where did you find this ad?...lol

We will have to agree to disagree :)

In business you should look to change and improve and should not make your customers accept low standards. If someone can't do something in their professional life they should ask someone to help them. If they dont they will lose business to companies that have higher standards

I agree with what you say for a personal relationship but not in business.

thanks redbox, for understading my point of view.Lucky Charm

yes oryx your right but sometimes you just have to adjust to people who cant express themeselves properly even professionaly.sometimes it makes you wonder but you will learn to accept, because you cant change them.Lucky Charm

lucky_charm, I agree with you. "Reliever" actually has different acceptable definitions according to Merriam Webster. It's actually up to the person reading the sentence as to which definition has priority in his vocabulary. The dictionary puts the nasty definition last. To each is own's interpretation; it just says something about how you think...

1 a: to free from a burden : give aid or help to b: to set free from an obligation, condition, or restriction c: to ease of a burden, wrong, or oppression by judicial or legislative interposition2 a: to bring about the removal or alleviation of : mitigate <helps relieve stress> b: rob, deprive <relieved us of our belongings>3 a: to release from a post, station, or duty b: to take the place of <will relieve the starting pitcher>4: to remove or lessen the monotony of <a park relieves the urban landscape>5 a: to set off by contrast b: to raise in relief6: to discharge the bladder or bowels of (oneself)

I agree with you totally....but NOT for business then you need to use standard English and not local or colloquial forms in an international environment such as Qatar.

I have just checked the Oxford and Collins dictionary and the word does not have this meaning.

If you don't use standard then your business just looks very unprofessional and people laugh.... in this case it sounds like a cheap brothel.

That is not a good image to project!

Also in business - yes you should try to be perfect when projecting your image..... and this is very very far from perfect. 

in other company the word they are using is reliever if it means temporary position.in a place where so many nationalities are living you cant expect everybody to be perfect.what is right for your understanding may be its differnt to others.lolLucky Charm

FYI the word is relief worker... not reliever nor is it fill-in

 to fill in is a verb and not a noun otherwise sounds like a something you get done at the dentist.

And the wording is 'temporary summer contracts'

I understand what they want to say but the incorrect syntax has made it one for the scrapbook....

it is sooooooooooooooo funny

It is quite clear that is the wrong word for temporaty staff. This is what lead to the misunderstanding.

I thouhgt you want me to releive you:)

in behalf of ann.temp,,,FYI: reliever - someone who takes the place of another (as when

things get dangerous or difficult); "the star had a stand-in for

dangerous scenes"; "we need extra employees for summer fill-ins". What is it in the classified that you dont understand?Lucky Charm

What would the specified duties be of a female reliever???

And the promotion?

Imagine - 'hey mum got a job - only a temporary female reliever but I hope to get promoted to full time ?????????????? soon'

Is someone's GF is going on vacation for a month??????????????????

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.
