Presently am working in Saudi Arabia, and the attitude of the Locals here is almost the same as mentioned by Joe about the three brothers. Either they want cozy jobs with big salaries, or no jobs. If employed for low profession jobs, their attendances are poor, and sometimes just vanish. But there are some, who do their jobs unlike the three brothers, and I have some colleagues who do come on time. Since 1980's it has become a common trend for Goans to look for jobs out of Goa and many a times many have left good jobs to go to gulf and beyond. Many may have prospered, but many have suffered the consequences. The main reason I feel for this has been the spending power of those who returned from Gulf on their holidays. Their lavish spending for their friends, beer parties etc, which most employed in Goa had rarely done or never done. Hence this is what made many a Goans look for jobs in such places and later found that it's not a gold mine. It may have been a months salary spending for the gulf people and others on holidays, but temptations for foreign shore jobs in Goans has been vast. I hope the three brothers Joe mentioned realize their mistake for going to UK and look for jobs in Goa, well who knows maybe they might succeed but at least for the present time, they will be employed.
