Yo Hatinkuwait I’ve been in kuwait and know how they treat people over there, believe me, yes if your hindi, philipino, and other you get a shitty treatment, but I also believe that you should stand for your rights which most of them don’t do it, hey I had more privileges than most of the americans had in kuwait, I had my doors open in AOR kuwait, cause I didn’t let no one get in my way as far as business was concern, but you didn’t help me at all with your reply which is the best way to get a job in kuwait with dyncorp, its a taught job but somebody got to do it,
Take it easy bro

Oh yes dave….I believe everyone is asking DC the same question. Not to mention Kuwait no one on the ground has answers to legetimate problems. Also the lazy management in Kuwait for DC cant get off their butts to get contractors the equipment we need. Geez what a mess……All we need is someone with the authority to say this is how its done. Everyone seems to know what to do, but no one has the balls to do it.

Hakuna said:”I heard that they started to hire non americans in dyncorp for kuwait area, I used to be in kuwait and worked for kbr for 8 years, would like to go back to kuwait, how????”

Here’s the reality: There is an enormous glut of Hindi, Sri Lankan, Philipino and Pakistani expats — many of them stranded here in Kuwait — who will work for 3-5KD per day. That’s around $10-18. Most of the Pakistani workers are completely unskilled and lack anything resembling a work ethic. Same can be said of the majority of the other groups. These people are treated like total crap by the Kuwaitis, and by a good number of the Westerners too. It’s a pretty nasty, depressing scene. All the companies here love them though, since they’ll work for less than peanuts, kiss ass like crazy and never complain, even when badly abused. Yep — take a ride through Arifjan and enjoy the sight of foreigners doing jobs that should go to unemployed Americans. You can’t blame the foreigners, but you can sure as shit blame the America corporations that hire them — usually through Kuwaiti manpower outfits. My advice to anyone wanting to come here: Keep your nose clean, do your job, collect your money and then get the hell out. Do-gooders in the Middle East get squashed like bugs, especially by the “lovely” Arabs.

In regard to the link I sent you, KBR nor DynCorp followed the direction of that order. KBR was supposed to give names and anniversary dates of all people for each of the camps they took over and this was not done. KBR did everything they could to not help DynCorp, obviously so that DynCorp would not pass the transition with a good grade. A lot of us from Camp have thought about bringing a class action on this. I think everyone is kind of waiting to see who will step up first and find the right attorney to file it.
It is an open ended agreement, however with an agreement comes responsibility which is why an agreement is signed. They agreed to employ me for one year and I agreed to all in my power to fulfill. They had positions and did not uphold there end. It is not my intent to sound cold but everyone who did get offers who were willing to go to Iraq had completed the agreement. The people filling the spots should have been the people who were fresh into the agreement and not those who had completed it. I am stuck with a tax obligation when those who completed agreements, as long as they did R&R’s correct would not have had one, even if it were a year and four months. I have worked with KBR before and know they could care less. But if I fight it and win maybe they will look at things different.
Sorry not trying to argue with you on this, just furious over this and I know I am home because of poor decisions and laziness of the upper management. My managers were furious when it happened, they were upset that they did not have the choice of who kept jobs and who went home. When I was called in to the finger painting PM, my managers thought I was getting my new assignment. When I got back and let them know what happened the F bomb was flying, they were not aware that there was a RIF for Kuwait.

Here’s a link to the Executive Order.

I worked the shipping receiving department for 3 years, depending on what company we are dealing with in regard to material not being correct, Per procedures with KBR you are supposed to contact the requestor of the material and QAQC to verify that the material is matching the purchase order. If the material does not match the PO then Materials does the OS&D over short or damaged QAQC writes a report about the problem with the product and it goes in the file. Materials rejects the material, shipping and receiving rejects the material and sends the material back to the vendor. It is the responsibility of the Expiditor to contact the vendor to get resolution of the incorrect material and get the correct material delivered. If the vendor can’t deliver then the PO is to be cancelled and notes go into that vendors file to insure that if there is a history of such deliveries then the vendor is no longer used. If the material was excepted and paid for then it should have been put out for re distribution in theater for another camp if they are able to utilize. If it is just not usable it should go to DRMO with justification as to why it is being put there.
