There are still lots of Americans at aramco with those common English names like Muhammad and Abdullah. Mots of the local leadership have clandestine US passports, ready to escape when the whole thing goes south.

It's funny how some people seem happy that there are fewer Americans in the company. They don't even realize not having Americans there won't do them any good. The benefits and offers are shittier because there are no Americans left.

Sounds as if the end of an era for expat employment is near.

It was 2009 when the company started reducing U.S. payroll benefits such as RIP. Not many pre-2009 hired U.S. payroll left.

Hang on if they fire American teachers who will teach the kids? Some kind of Indian offshoring outfit? Bad times indeed!

Few sued and won using local law and their contracts (after being fired, that is)
