I need help on how I can proceed to complain to Dubai Municipality anonymously about a scrap metal recycling ‘operation’ that’s happening right below my building on a public pavement. It’s not a formal business, just a bunch of guys who decided to do it on a public pavement. They are hoarding scrap there.
The problem is that these people collect hazardous scrap and equipment in a family residential area and leave it unattended where kids are playing. Children get hurt because of these sharp objects. They hoard everything between the 2 buildings here, and it looks awful and is genuinely dangerous.
The worst part is that one of the men involved in this operation brings his truck around 2–3 AM, and this group proceeds to throw all the equipment from the ground into the truck. You can imagine how insanely loud that is. It scares me awake every single time. It was even scarier during the period a few months ago when all the loud booms were happening. The next morning you can see shattered glass on the road, wires, and scraps left behind from when they were throwing everything into the truck.
We have tried asking them to stop. There is actually an empty open ground just 100m away where they could store all of this, but they refuse and insist on doing it here.
Recently, we’ve also noticed that our building watchman seems to have joined in on their business. He now allows them to store some of the scrap in our building parking lot and doesn’t entertain any complaints when residents ask him to remove it. Building management doesn’t seem to care either.
Other people in my building have tried talking to these men directly, but they were very intimidating. They were holding sharp metal objects while speaking to them and basically said, “Go call the police. We’ll show you. We know where you live and where your car is.”
I’m honestly scared to make a complaint because of these threats. These people don’t seem worried about facing any consequences, so the threats feel very real. I live alone, and I’m genuinely concerned for my safety, but this situation can’t keep going on.
How can I go about reporting this anonymously? All I’m asking is for them to move their operation to the nearby open ground, away from children and residential buildings
Quit my job, but I need to rant about this hellhole of a startup I worked at.
(You may think I was crazy for putting up with all this for so long but I needed the money, but there was still a limit)
I worked for a startup. There were just 4 of us: 1 founder and us 3 employees. It was fun in the beginning until he started lowkey stalking me. “Hey, I saw you at the mall on a weekday” (after my working hours), “you know we have so much work to do.” On another day, I told him, “Hey, I saw that movie that released on the weekend,” and he was like, “Why would you go to see a movie when we have so much work?” Stalking my social media and berating me for having fun when we had so much work. When I blocked him, he was like, “Why would you do that? I thought we were all a family.”
Then I realised that this founder actually had no fucking clue about what work goes into making a product or the code behind it. After all, I should have realised he was a nepo kid with the right connections, which is why we had work all this while. So 90% of my workday was essentially me asking what to do, presenting options, saying pros and cons, giving a freaking prototype, and then aligning and getting his confirmation as to, “Yes, this is what we want,” with email proof. Then I would spend the next 3 days on it (this would normally take 2 weeks, but I’m expected to complete it because I have 72 hours in between. Sleep? Personal time? Who tf cares?). And then I’d spend sleepless nights and give the product, and he would snap, saying, “This is not what I wanted,” and proceed to give some absurd vague changes with no actual feedback on what I could work on. When I asked for it, he told me I’m not being paid for him to do the thinking and work.
He’d constantly complain about how it must be so nice for me because I don’t have to care about money (I am working and putting up with this because I need the money), and I’m just gaining all this experience at the expense of someone else (basically, he’s whining that he has to pay me a salary for the work I do and I won’t work for free, extortion basically). He said that I will never have to know the pain of running a business, and that all these people who work 9–5 are so entitled. People don’t deserve work-life balance; they have to earn it, and these fixed hours aren’t a sustainable practice.
I think the final straw was when my dad was diagnosed with cancer during a 2-week vacation I had given notice for 6 months ago. He proceeded to berate me for actually taking the leave because I’m selfish and don’t care about the work. He tried multiple times to tell me to come online during my vacation, and I said no. Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t because I needed to be with my dad because he had been diagnosed. He proceeded to tell me cancer is not an excuse to not do work because it’s not me who has the cancer, so I can still work (while I’m on my vacation). That was it. I sent in my resignation within 2 hours because wtf, I’ve had enough. I’ve realised I haven’t had rest in 1.5 years, my pay isn’t that high, and he doesn’t give a shit. He’ll have his nepo money if all fails.
Came back from vacation, and he was absolutely pissed. I’ve had to hear ungodly things from him about who tf is going to hire an ungrateful, worthless, unqualified person like me. “Your job is going to be replaced by AI and made redundant. You should be lucky I gave you a job in this economy, and you just threw it away. If you apologise right now, I’ll take you back.” (wtf is this guy, my ex?) Told him, “Yeah, I don’t care. I have a life outside of work. I can’t do this anymore.” I got the silent treatment for the next 2 days, and then I just left. He still messages me about work stuff. I’ve blocked him.
Turns out, within a month, the other 2 have also resigned, and now it’s just him. And now the nepo kid has to join the family business.
This guy made me feel worthless for the past 1.5 years. Turns out, I’m actually very employable with a skill AI is not going to take anytime soon. Got a job within 2 months with 2.5x my pay. Dad’s doing okay now. Life is good.
PS: Don’t join a startup if it has less than 50 members. You need to have a layer between you and the founders, otherwise they might think you’re an extension of themselves, without the pay and equity.
Idk if this is normal, should I keep my expectations low or do I have a bad technician?
I’ve had 3 sessions so far. Most of the hair on the triangle section? falls of but literally not even a single hair has fallen off the lips and the inner bikini section.
My technician stretches the skin there and does it but nothing ever falls off it’s frustrating
I’ve got very dark colored skin just on the lips so idk if that’s the reason? (I’m ethnically Indian, maybe a Fitzpatrick scale of 5?)
Should I be getting a different technician?
Machine used is Candela Gentle Max Pro
Really bad sand storm I believe, can’t even see a meter ahead of you
Be Careful
My (23F) boyfriend (23M) dumped me on the day I hosted a celebratory dinner with him and our friends because I had just gotten a well-paying job in the city. It was my dream job at my dream company, something I worked so hard for.
He got drunk and said that he never liked me, never wanted to be with me, and that we needed to break up. We had been together for 2 years.
I was shattered. Like, how fucking dare you do that to me on one of the most important days of my life? I was at my happiest because I had finally gotten something I worked so hard for, and you couldn’t even wait one more day to say that to me?
I started crying, and he told me to stop because it was embarrassing, people would see, and I was overreacting. I was so embarrassed because all my friends were around, and they heard everything. I couldn’t even leave because we had a table full of dishes already ordered. My guy friends took him outside and told him to leave, but good God, what the fuck? He ruined it. I was sitting there crying my makeup off on a night that was supposed to be about celebrating me.
I worked hard for everything in my life. Nothing was handed to me easily, and I was so sad that I couldn’t even get someone to love me properly.
Now, two months later, I’m getting better, and I’ve finally realized I dodged a missile. He was the most emotionally abusive, and sometimes physically abusive, person I’ve ever known. He was my first and only relationship.
You may read the things I’m going to list below and think I was stupid for staying, but I didn’t have a good childhood. I had to put in extra effort to get attention from my parents and friends, even when they treated me like shit. So I guess I learned that even if someone is an absolute dickhead, I had to tolerate them and entertain them, otherwise they’d lose interest in me and leave. I don’t know. I’m in a better place now. Hopefully.
We had separate apartments, but I spent most of my time at his because he was an absolutely lazy piece of shit. He wouldn’t clean his room or do his laundry. He would literally wait for me to come over and do it.
He never proactively took me on a date in 2 years. He’d suggest that we go out, then say, “You choose because you’re better at it.” When I told him I needed him to plan something for once, just once, he’d go off at me and say, “Oh, I’d just choose the McDonald’s nearby, but you want everything fancy and then you’d start a fight. I don’t have the time or energy for that. You choose.”
When we went on “his planned date,” or honestly any date, he’d wear sweatpants while I was all dressed up. Then he’d ask me who I was trying to impress because “it’s just us.” I even offered to buy clothes for him, but he’d say, “No, I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t love me the way I am.”
Even worse, this guy was so ungroomed. He wouldn’t wear fucking deodorant or lip balm, so I bought them for him, and AGAIN, I was the bitch who didn’t love him the way he was and was trying to CHANGE HIM. Boy, I was just talking about basic hygiene. What the fuck.
Then this guy had ED and blamed me for it. He said I wasn’t sexy to look at and not skinny enough, even though I’m actually underweight. He said I didn’t have big boobs, and the worst part is that he called me “loose,” which he said was why he couldn’t keep it hard. Thanks. Now I’ll be insecure about my body forever.
Then he had his anger fits. He’d punch the wall, push me against the wall, and slap me. I knew it was wrong. God, I knew it was wrong. But I grew up in an abusive household, so I just assumed you had to deal with it because “men get angry.”
But I’m grateful that even though all of this was happening, I never lost sight of my university exams or my career. I worked damn hard, graduated in the top 3 of my degree, and got an amazing job lined up. That dude, I don’t even know if he’s ever going to graduate, and he has nothing planned for his future.
He’s blocked, and I have a watchman downstairs in my building who’ll make sure he can’t come up to my apartment. I just hope I don’t run into him in the neighborhood.
I’m sad. Really devastated. But I’m also glad. It might take me a year or 2 to recover from him, but I will try.
Meal: Steak Ramen and Chips, I don’t even feeling like cooking anymore.
Someone else’s expense meaning…..the salary I’m entitled to getting…….for the work that I have done.
Glad I’m out though, I cannot imagine working one more day under someone who treats me like an ungrateful leech who won’t work for free?
I’m an employee and I don’t really give a damn about your company’s financial struggles. I do what I’m hired to do (and I do it well) and I get paid in return. Why does he think it’s a heinous crime of extortion?
I worked for a startup created by one guy, there were 3 of us (2 employees). Company went downhill after the founder refused to take in feedback from customers and in turn we didn’t get repeat business and the word spread.
Please don’t work for startups that have less than 50 employees, otherwise the founder might start thinking you’re an extension of himself and start treating you like one.

They cancelled the fine!!!
I’m assumed Parkin checked the image and my car is clearly parked in the D zone and not in the C zone for which they fined me.
Please check which zones you are being fined for and check for fines regularly because you can’t raise a dispute 14 days after getting fined.
Kinda insane that whoever parks in that particular D zone slot is getting fined for C zone every time the Parkin car passes. Hopefully they invest in better “AI”.
Hello anyone know whats the problem with Al Suhub rest area khorffkhan parking payment??

Title.
We have been hearing layoffs and firing for the past 2 months because of the war. Businesses shutting down and projects been put on hold.
My question is there is always an opposite, the money is going somewhere?
So which industries are actually doing very well in this situation?
