Sorry this UK Telegraph article requires a subscription but you can get the gist in the first few lines....
No tears will be shed by the South Asians expatriates in Dubai who gnash their teeth at the largely lesser qualified white Brits who are recruited at astronomical salaries. This is a typical situation: The Arab owner or senior executive is prejudiced in favour of the Brits their former masters. He brings in a plumber from the building trades and makes him a Vice President of his construction company. Then he recruits Indian or Pakistani or Sri Lankan engineers at a quarter of that salary and construction workers at a tenth of that quarter who do all the real work. Naturally the London tube-taking plumber now becomes the resident of a sumptuous ‘villa’ and drives a Range Rover or a BMW SUV. So when they are losing their virtually tax free jobs, no tears are shed by the children of a lesser god. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/06/20/britons-dubai-sell-possessions-return-home-coronavirus-ends/ Roland.
