During the regular school term, we would usually also receive a small daily table showing whether they ate, used the toilet, slept, etc.\n Maybe the updates are limited because it’s currently a summer programme and not the regular school term.\n For those whose children are attending nursery or summer camp right now, what daily updates do you receive? Do they update you about food, toilet visits, naps and general mood, or do you mainly receive activity photos?\n Not complaining, just trying to understand what is normal during the holiday period.",

He wanted to make it clear that he did not want to receive such requests if I joined.\n At that point, I thanked him for his time and said that while the interview was meant to assess whether I fit the company’s culture, I had now realised that its culture did not fit me. I told him the environment already seemed hostile and that being a married woman was clearly viewed as a liability. Then I left.\n I hate how there is this racist and sexist generalisation in the job market, like can you all for once look at the value I bring?",

It's a GCC-spec car with a clean title, no accidents, not a single scratch, and it was Gargash approved.\n The thing is, I might be leaving the UAE next year, and the car is currently financed through Emirates NBD.\n What are my options in this situation? Should I sell the car and use the sale proceeds to pay off the remaining loan? Or is it possible for someone to buy the car and take over my existing loan, with the financing transferred into their name so they continue making the payments?\n How does the process usually work in the UAE? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences.\n Thank you!",

"selftext": "Hi everyone, I wanted to share my experience and ask if anyone has been through a similar situation and managed to get out of it. I have been dealing with a rental case involving a fraudulent document from 2022, and this situation has completely destroyed my life. I have been stuck in this situation for around four to five years now, and the impact has affected every part of my life. Because of this case, I have lost several job opportunities. In Dubai, everything is connected — your legal situation affects your visa, and your visa affects your ability to work. When you have a problem with your visa, finding and keeping a job becomes extremely difficult. Since this case started, I have lost multiple jobs. Because I could not maintain stable employment, I also ended up with another rental case. So now I am dealing with two cases at the same time. My experience with the Dubai Land Department and the rental dispute process has been extremely frustrating. The staff give wrong information, they are not properly trained, and many times they are not helpful at all. When you go there, you feel like the people handling your case do not know what they are doing. Even at the reception, you can wait for around two hours just to get a ticket before you can even speak to someone. Then you spend the whole day trying to understand what is happening and trying to get basic information.\n When you submit documents, they often do not seem to properly review them. You have to submit the same documents again and again — sometimes two, three, or four times. Even the information you receive can be different depending on who you speak to. The process is extremely difficult for anyone who is working. If you have a hearing with a judge, you may arrive at 9:00 a.m. and wait for hours. You are sitting there waiting while the day passes, and you may only be seen around 1:00 p.m. or later. Your entire working day is gone. How are people who have full-time jobs supposed to solve their rental problems when the system requires them to repeatedly take full days off work? The worst part is that everything is connected. The rental case affects your job, your job affects your visa, your visa affects your ability to fix the situation, and the cycle continues. I am now also dealing with immigration fines, and to solve those I need to request a waiver and explain my circumstances. Then I need to find a job, but finding a job is linked to my visa situation. It feels like an endless loop that is affecting my ability to focus on my work and my future. I am sharing this because I would really like to hear from anyone who has been through something similar and managed to get out of it. What did you do? What helped you? Was there a specific process, person, or solution that made a difference? I would really appreciate any advice or experiences from people who have faced similar rental, legal, or visa-related challenges.",

Due to personal reasons, I now want to move back to my home country and resign.\n My biggest concern is whether my employer can make me repay the costs of sponsoring my employment (visa, labour card, recruitment costs, etc.). If they can, I genuinely won't be able to afford it on my current salary, which would make it very difficult for me to leave.\n I've copied the relevant clauses from my employment contract below.\n Probation clause (6 months): I'm no longer on probation, but the contract states: \"In case of resignation, you may be asked to repay all expenses incurred for processing your labour card.\"\n Termination clause: I've now completed my 6-month probation and am officially confirmed. The contract states: \"After completion of your probation period, the employment can be terminated by either party by giving one month's notice in advance or one month's salary in lieu thereof. In case of resignation before completion of one year of service, the company reserves the right to recover all expenses incurred on your recruitment.\"\n My questions are: Does \"expenses incurred on your recruitment\" include visa costs, labour card/work permit costs, medical, Emirates ID, or other sponsorship expenses?\n Are these clauses actually enforceable under current UAE labour law?\n I've read several Reddit posts saying employers cannot recover visa or recruitment costs from employees under MOHRE regulations. Does that apply in my situation as well, or is there an exception because of these contract clauses?\n The contract also says under a constraints clause: \"All other terms will be governed by the provisions of the UAE Labour Law.\"\n Has anyone been in a similar situation or knows how these clauses are treated in practice?

He’s not my personal driver and I don’t want to garner too much attention at work.\n Just a small gift idea that would make his day or week.\n I’d appreciate it!\n Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions.

The status has remained \"Under Process\" for more than 30 days, but I have not received any meaningful update regarding what has actually been done.\n The most concerning part is that I contacted my university's Verification Department directly. They confirmed on 14 July that they had not received any verification request from VFS Global. I followed up again on 20 July, and they again confirmed that no request had been received.\n Despite this, every response from VFS Global has been a standard reply saying that the verification request has been initiated and is under process. They have not provided:\n Any confirmation that the university actually received the request Any date when the request was sent Any details of follow-up communication Any clear timeline for completion When I asked for clarification, I was told that they cannot disclose their communication channels. I understand privacy policies, but as the applicant who paid for the service, I believe I should at least receive basic confirmation that my application is genuinely progressing.\n This delay is not just an inconvenience. My employer has requested my degree equivalency within a limited timeframe, and further delays could directly affect my employment.\n I would like to ask:\n Has anyone else experienced similar delays with VFS Global MOHESR verification? How long did your verification actually take? Did your university receive the request from VFS, and if yes, after how many days? I hope VFS Global improves transparency and communication because applicants' careers can be affected by these delays.",

Where are these guys? \n For context, I have tried the guys who were doing it for the previous tenant; two companies online; and now the guys who are doing our neighbours’ garden. All are the same. They send guys to throw a bunch of random chemicals into the pool (they can never tell you if it’s chlorine or bromium or anything else, what the pH is or anything like that); the garden guys just blow leaves around with an automatic blower that makes noise at the worst times (it would be much quicker just to sweep them); they don’t actually trim the trees or plants and leave it till everything overgrows and you need to order a truck to haul away branches; and the grass is dying and no one seems to know what to do about it (I have tried reseeding it three times myself personally but clearly the stuff I’m buying is not suitable, would be great to have an actual gardener who knows what to buy and where). Levels of English are not great and if you agree something you’ll be lucky if it’s done within a month or less than 5x of chasing.\n I don’t blame the guys because they are just here doing a job. I also know I am not paying much so not complaining about the money. I am just frustrated that it seems impossible to find a company (even if it’s more expensive!) who can do the job and who can communicate and deliver within reasonable/agreed timeframes.\n I also realise this is a shared problem among many types of services in Dubai; so perhaps this is a vent more than anything, but if anyone can share some tips on where to find what we are looking for, that’d be amazing.",

Within the first day, we both started getting itchy eyes, itchy throats, runny noses, and a general feeling of irritation. I have seasonal allergies, but my wife doesn't usually react like this, so it's strange that we're both experiencing the same symptoms.\n We've noticed a clear pattern:\n We spend several hours outside and feel completely fine.\n Within 5–10 minutes of coming back to the apartment, the symptoms return.\n Turning the central AC on seems to make things worse.\n We borrowed a small Honeywell HEPA air purifier, and it noticeably reduced our symptoms while it was running.\n We reported it to the rental company, and they had the AC cleaned today. Unfortunately, the symptoms are still there. There's also a slight musty/sewage smell in one of the bathrooms, but the rest of the apartment smells normal.\n At this point, I'm wondering if it's something else in the apartment, such as mould, dust in the furnishings, or another indoor air quality issue.\n My questions are:\n Has anyone experienced something similar in a furnished rental or Airbnb in Dubai?\n What else should I ask the rental company to inspect besides the AC?\n If they refuse to investigate further or fix the issue, what are my rights as a tenant in Dubai? Can I request another apartment, terminate the booking, or seek compensation if the apartment is affecting our health?\n I'd really appreciate any advice from anyone who's dealt with a similar situation.
