HOUSING: RULES INVADING EMPLOYEES PRIVACY

Among many reasons not to join Etihad, there is Housing. Housing like anything else is driven by the most discriminative rules! 

You can’t live as a couple, you are under constant surveillance of underpaid army of dumb and frustrated slaves called security guards…

Privacy does not exist when you work for Etihad. As your employer and sponsor, Etihad has the right to control your whereabout at all times!!
Security staff are being pressured to constantly challenge occupants and this create a hateful climate of suspicion among inhabitants... 

REASONS NOT TO WORK FOR ETIHAD

If you are ready to live in a country where human rights does not exist...
If you are prepared to step into a company that will easily gash you as a used tissue… then this is it, join Etihad Airways!

But be prepared to discover how fooled you've been after wise. Because they will lie so much before your employment, promising working conditions and benefit that simply does not exist!

Be ready to experience a climate of fear and lies all the way long!
The company is not looking after employees! 
Management just doesn't care at all! 


When you live in an Etihad provided accommodation, you are not entitled to have visitors passed curfew… how do you feel having to cope with that?

You live in apartment but the place is entirely controlled and watched 24/7 by your employer who wants to know who comes in and out of your place at all times. Forget inviting friends over, they won’t be allowed to stay passed their bedtime! Forget sharing your place with your choose one, even if you’re married, management won’t allow it! Of course the rule does not apply to them or pilot… they enjoy 5 bedroom villas where they can bring their family and friends without anyone watching… That’s a non-discriminative treatment according to Etihad Airways policy… That takes us to another big scam about Etihad. They claim to apply a non-discriminative policy regarding their employees, but in fact everything from the status to accommodation is based on discrimination. 
Ask Arabic speakers crew what they think about being undiscriminated… They’ll tell you what kind of flight they get… You need to know that everyone is under a scarce discrimination process while working for Etihad. According to your nationality and whether you belong to one of the main ethnic group of people, you will find yourself in the winning or losing side…  
Want a glimpse of company rules? Have a look for yourself:
    • FA, FJ, cabin seniors and food and beverage managers are offered shared accommodation and may not have family members, spouse or partners living with them permanently.  This applies to cabin seniors who are currently in single accommodation.
    • Cabin managers are allocated one-bedroom apartments on single status only and may not have anyone living with them permanently.
    • Medical care benefits are given to the cabin crew signing the contract only and cannot be extended to any other member of their family.
    • Medical and GCAA regulations prevent cabin crew from operating on flights when pregnant and single status employment contracts do not offer any maternity benefits. As a result, crew who become pregnant are required to resign with immediate effect.
