Here’s a candid look at a day in the life of Aramco middle management…
They roll in whenever they feel like it, oozing arrogance as they strut through the office to make sure you were there on time. First stop? Your desk. The supervisor asks what you’re doing, barely listening before assigning you some pointless PowerPoint deck that will never see the light of day. They disappear for a while, probably off to take a long bathroom break, and then it’s time for a meeting—usually with one of the many agencies on the payroll.
These meetings? A joke. They spend most of the time asking questions that don’t even make sense, then demand a report that’s even more nonsensical. Once that circus is over, it’s time for prayer. Maybe they’re hoping for a little divine forgiveness for how they treat people—like everyone else is just the help.
After that, it’s back to the halls, walking around kissing cheeks, acting like they’re moving mountains. By the end of the day, they’ve done nothing. Zilch. But don’t worry, they’ll be the first to tell you they work for the most important company in the world.
Newsflash: What you do doesn’t matter. The only reason any of this works is because Aramco was forced to hire you and keep unemployment down. That or your uncle is an exec and you have wasta. Take that away, and there’s a reason none of you could hack it at any other company.
