britexpat: Such people can exist in peace and with no fear here in the Middle Eastern countries. The reason being most employees in the lower ranks have paid heavily to get a work-visa and come to this place to earn money. For the visa, many take loans back home which takes years to pay back. By "buying" a visa, they place themselves in a "bondage." Thus they are forced to suffer silently. However, in eastern countries the situation is somewhat different. Whenever, such a person is found at a workplace, the matter gets decided on the streets where workers "overhaul the engine" of such supervisors. The supervisors are well aware of this and thus stay within their pants. Having said that, everything has a limit. I came across a case in Saudi Arabia where a group of a dozen supervisors who were all from one nation, took SR 50 each month from low-paid Bangladeshi workers who numbered around 400. The salaries of each worker was just SR 500, all inclusive. This was at a huge farm which had a strength of 1300 farmhands. The farm was located in a remote area of Al Jouf where nearest city (and police station) lay at a distance of 70 kms. One Friday afternoon, the Bangladeshi workers decided they had had enough, united together, and gave all the supervisors a good thrashing. By the time the police arrived, the job had been completed, and it was a job well done!
