I’m working even more right now, picking up the slack of the juniors (I can’t blame them). We had a team meeting talking numbers and chasing collections while I can hear the missiles out of my window. In a nutshell, the show must go on and we need to earn money 💰

Is any firm actually doing that?

In the same way they would advise you to take time off if you’re sick, firms would prefer you to be long term productive.

I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.

Dubai people I live in Marquise Square tower and my neighbor is having a party literally every day till 4-5 in the morning- I spoke to him and he apologized and promised to keep it quiet but he didn’t. So I spoke to the security if they can tell them to calm down and the security said that he can’t do anything as it’s the weekend! Is that normal or should they give me a noise compliance and force him to stay quiet after some time.
