After an hour of deep thinking, I came up with an idea. I am going to write about the experiences that I had from my old job in Saudi Arabia.
I was a shift
worker. Usually I had worked 8 hours a day, but my shift was changing every
week, from morning to night and from night to afternoon almost for 8 years. But
during Ramadan (the holy month), and because of the shortage in the number of employees,
I had worked 12 hours a day. I know it was so hard for me and for my family as
well for not seeing each other for long time.
During that
time, I learned a lot of good things. The company taught me how to be creative.
It was encouraging all the employees to come up with new suggestions to improve
the work. There were a lot of prizes for a good innovations and suggestions.
Also, the
company taught me how to be punctual. Being late even for five minutes was not
acceptable at all, and could immediately affect your salary increase. This is because
no one could leave the work site until he was relieved by the next shift. I
remember many times I stayed working for 16 hours continuously just because my
coworker didn’t show up. I learned that time is very important in life.
All the
supervisors there were encouraging employees to work as a team. Teamwork is the
easiest way to do the work perfectly. Sharing experiences was the important aim
for everyone.
I can talk
about my job for dozens of pages, but I don’t want my teacher Sonja to be angry
with me for exceeding the word limit.
Feel free to
post any comments about my blog.

Hussain your story is really amazing.
ReplyDeleteI think that you are really a good person for this job; but I'm sorry about the other employees who didn't show up in their time and you worked more than your time.
Hopeful to go back to your company with a high degree in order to obtain a good promotion..
Best regards
Sam

Don't worry, I could never be angry about exceeding the word limit! It sounds like your job really taught you the value of hard work. I can't imagine working for so many hours in a row, especially during Ramadan! I would love to hear more about your job. Thanks for your post.
