Discussion يوم العمل مفروض ما يتعدى ٦ ساعات The working day in public and private sector should not exceed 6 hours

47 Upvotes

كوحدة اشتغلت في القطاع العام و الخاص، اشوف انه ٦ ساعات هو أقصى مدة ممكن اشعر فيها انه لي الحين فيني طاقة و اقدر انتج. بعدها حرفياً اشعر بإستنزاف قوي ذهنياً و جسدياً و طاقياً و أكره عمري آخر ساعتين من الدوام و أرد البيت ما فيني حيل و مالي خلق شي. طبعاً هذا غير انه بعض الشركات تجبرك تشتغل السبت بعد.

يوم العمل الطويل المجهد + قلة الاجازات (حتى المرضية بطلوع الروح) مو بس غير انساني، بعد هو أهم سبب يخلي الكويتيين يتجهون للحكومة و يبتعدون عن الخاص و صراحة ما ألومهم.
شخصياً اقترح قانون اجباري لتقليل ساعات العمل اليومية في جميع القطاعات

English:
After the 6-hour mark of the working day in the private sector I had always noticed that my mental and physical energy would be completely drained, and after 8 hours I would go back home feeling like a shell with no soul.
An 8 hour work day/6 days a week is not only inhuman but is also the main reason Kuwaitis prefer the public sector and I do not blame them.
I do support mandatory shortening of the working day especially in the private sector.

Ask Kuwait Can students have jobs

4 Upvotes

I took an admission in AOU and I asked them for work permit but they said they don't provide that and I asked around but everyone says that you need to change ur visa to article 18 but I don't want to and would want to stay on 22

I heard before I can get the work permit for part time from university and work but now it's suddenly not an option?

Does anyone who knows the law well tell me if I can work part time as a student on article 22?

Ask Kuwait I miss Kuwait so dearly, how has it changed since 2007 ?

27 Upvotes

I moved to Kuwait with my family when I was just 2 years old, and I basically spent my entire childhood and teenage years there. Kuwait was the only home I ever really knew.

In 2007, I left Kuwait and moved to Australia. It's been almost 20 years now, but honestly, there's still a part of me that never left.

I can't really explain it, but Kuwait holds such a special place in my heart. The people, the streets, the food, the malls, the atmosphere, even the little everyday things I probably took for granted growing up. Sometimes I find myself randomly remembering places and moments from my childhood, and I get this overwhelming feeling of nostalgia.

Australia has been my home for nearly two decades, but whenever I think about my childhood, it's always Kuwait that comes to mind.

For those of you who've been living there since the early 2000s, I'm genuinely curious: how much has Kuwait changed since 2007?

Does it still have that same feeling? Are the old places still around? Has life changed much? And for those who remember Kuwait in the 90s and early 2000s, do you ever miss how things used to be?

I'd love to hear your memories and what Kuwait is like today.

I really hope I get to visit again someday. ❤️🇰🇼

Ask Kuwait What post office would have my shipment?

4 Upvotes

I’ve been waiting for a shipment for a very long time and I just found out that it actually got delivered to the post office weeks ago but they never contacted me. I want to contact them to figure out the issue but I have no idea how post offices work and what kind of post office would have my shipment or how to even get their number.

Discussion Is this dating or a subscription-based business model now? 🤣

Post image
87 Upvotes

Found someone on Tinder, started talking on Snapchat, and things were going pretty well. Jokes, voice notes, good banter. Then, around 15 minutes into the conversation, she brought up getting her a brand-new phone as part of the “princess treatment.”

I pointed out that asking for a phone before we've even been on a first date is wild.

Her response? “Well, you can't spend money on me, why should I spend my time?”

💀

I thought we were getting to know each other. Turns out, I was in a business negotiation and didn't even know it.

15-minute free trial before the premium subscription kicks in. 🤣

Is this normal when using dating apps in Kuwait now, or did I just get unlucky? What's the weirdest thing someone's expected from you before you've even had a first date?

10 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I’m (F21) a student at kuniv (in my 4th/graduation year) and I was wondering where I can search for a part-time that hires a student? I’m willing to transport by public bus

A friend of mine works as a saleswoman at a store in avenues, for example. How can I search for positions like that? especially as someone without prior experience

I appreciate all help! :)

As you can see from the photos, I like to take pictures of cats, the sea and buildings.

But usually when I try to go and take a photo, a security guard would tell me that using a camera is not allowed.

Ask Kuwait Would you switch from instant delivery (with a fee) to scheduled delivery (free, no minimum order)?

5 Upvotes

Quick question for people who order groceries online in Kuwait. Right now, most apps offer instant delivery : you order and it arrives fast, but you pay a delivery fee. What if there was a scheduled delivery option instead? You pick a time slot, there’s no minimum order value, and delivery is free?

Ask Kuwait Do you usually choose to drive on roundabouts or at traffic lights?

11 Upvotes

I'm just very curious. I've always preferred traffic lights instead of roundabouts tbh, and i also would go to the route where there's no roundabouts.

Don't get me wrong i also would drive around roundabouts on other places but the route where i usually go to get to my university has roundabouts and the cars around there is scaring the soul out of me. So i tend to go to another street where it has traffic lights because it feels more safe for me.

Is it weird and do i have to face it?
