It is just not that, Mufti. When Saudis join a company they are very attentive and show much enthusiasm at their jobs for only the first three months This is because during this period, the company could terminate their services with a day's notice. Once, the three-month probation is over, their services get automatically confirmed as per the Labour Laws of that country. There is possibly no way by which their service could be terminated even by a Saudi director. They have all the backing of the Labour Office. They then just relax, pass the day drinking Qawa (or Ghawa as they call it), and leave the work to be done by the expatriates.
