yes novitta...the employees are totally helpless infront of the mighty spnosor....I left work a year ago, and I had very good relation with the company I used to work in and excellent record, and now I have a huge new offer with more than double my old salary...and they are still not giving me the NOC or transfer permit...I feel very angry and helpless, and there is really nothing I can do...my advice to everyone is don't come to this country if you are going to work with local, or arabs-run company...only work for the goverment, big firms, or westernes run organisations.....
