How do you know if your coworkers hate you?
Al-Jazirah newspaperAn article entitled “22 signs your coworkers secretly hate you” published by Business Insider was translated into several languages in a matter of days after it was first published in English, something that shows the way this issue is widespread across the world in different countries and cultures.It is impossible for all those around you in the workplace to love you. This is a foregone conclusion; at least that is the nature and diversity of human relationships. There are hidden people around you who hate you for no apparent reason. They may feel challenged by you and want to compete with you without you knowing it. They are bothered by your success even if they do not make you feel this way. When this is the situation, remember that every day at work is like...

Every government agency should prepare an annual report
Al-Madinah newspaperAl-Watan newspaper recently published an article related to the annual reports of government agencies. According to the article, there are 63 official websites for 63 government ministries, authorities and institutions, and only 31 of them produce annual reports. The last time some of the organizations that published reports did so was in 2015 and 2016. In other words, almost 50 percent of these organizations lack annual reports discussing their performance.These bodies include the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Transport. Moreover, many of the current official websites are not very good and suffer technical glitches. As a matter of fact, Article 15 issued by the Shoura Council states that the council has the right to express its opinion about the general...

Why do we enjoy bad news?
Al-MadinahPeople in the media often use emotive language to enable their stories to become viral or to draw people’s attention to what they say. There are certain expressions that writers use to popularize articles. Generally speaking, the media tends to use language that attracts readers and viewers. Even social media posts do the same.Unfortunately, it seems that it has become necessary for writers to use negative headlines to attract readers. For example, negative news that people find interesting includes the expression of strange opinions, murders, or economic or global crises. This type of news is guaranteed popularity in the same way that news stories about celebrities and athletes are popular.Some media agencies no longer encourage positive news because it is negative news that...

Keep the mentally ill away from vulnerable people
Al-Madinah newspaper A heartless father killed his three innocent daughters aged between two and six in cold blood. The man was supposed to be their hero but turned out to be their murderer. Using a sharp knife, he killed his three innocent daughters one after the other.This is a harrowing story and I cannot explain it. I tried to visualize what took place, but it is impossible to think about this without a broken heart. Islam ended female infanticide some 1,400 years ago. However, it seems that this is still unfortunately taking place today.This was a tragic incident that took place in Makkah and it has shocked the Kingdom. This father beheaded his three young daughters despite his wife screaming and begging him not to. The case is now with the authorities who are aware of the details.If...

Challenges facing the Saudi job market
OkazThe inner workings of labor markets differ from country to country but in general labor markets function on a supply and demand basis. The term “tight labor market” is when an economy is close to full employment, i.e. when the number of job opportunities is more than the number of people looking for employment. “Slack labor market” is when the available workforce is under utilized, i.e. when job opportunities are less than the number of people looking for employment.In the case of the Saudi job market, we are a slack labor market for two main reasons. First, there is an inability to create enough jobs to absorb the number of people who are entering the labor market. This gap is quite large and may increase if things remain unchanged. Second, not only are graduates inefficient...

Constructive criticism
Al-Watan newspaperThere is a famous quote by Greek philosopher Lucius Plutarch: “I don’t need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better.”In every successful government we can see officials and experts having different views and vision and the success lies in producing ideas after amalgamating good thoughts of the opposing currents.The best rulers of the world are those who put their viewpoints under their cloak and take the best ideas of others. Abraham Lincoln, the greatest of all presidents in American history, was a master listener and was known as the commander-in-chief of listeners.Some government officials take their whole team with them when they move to another department. Many people support this idea because it helps the...

CITC and poor telecom services
Al-Watan newspaperDO not know how long telecom companies in the Kingdom would continue their poor services. I cannot understand the reason for their continuing shabby Internet and package services.The strange thing is the increase in charges every now and then giving various reasons and justifications. Sometimes they say the reason lies in service subscription while some other times they blame it on activation of certain services, thus making common people confused!Subscribers continue to wonder at high charges for data packages. The charges for 1 GB data is SR70 and if you want to double data they will go up to SR100! The strangest thing is the high charges for external calls and receiving calls from abroad. It has reached such an extent that one cannot imagine such exorbitant...

Protecting the whistleblowers
Okaz newspaperTHE worst enemy of the country’s economy are corrupt people who care less about the nation and fear nothing. Whistleblowers, who want to report corruption, think twice about their future and what could happen to their children before reporting the corruption activity. Therefore, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman has ordered to provide protection to employees who want to file reports against financial corruption from any administrative retaliation. The King directed the National Anti-Corruption Commission to protect whistleblowers from retaliation until the witness protection program is finalized.President of the National Anti-Corruption Commission Dr. Khaled Bin Abdulmohsen Al-Muhaisen has said that the decision showed the keenness of the government to protect...

Women driving: We aren’t prepared
Okaz newspaperONLY few weeks separate us from women driving in June but the concerned bodies, especially the traffic department, have not yet announced any strategies or plans for the historic step.The concerned departments have not revealed their plans to accommodate the tens of thousands of cars which will enter the already crowded streets.Government departments, offices and the commercial places where women work do not have sufficient parking areas for women drivers.I thought when the royal decree allowing women to drive was issued months back and set June as a deadline for the execution of the historic decision, was aimed at giving the concerned authorities enough time to prepare for women taking the wheels.They should have used this time to prepare the streets for the entry of...

Exploiters or victims of history?
Okaz newspaperNEITHER the extremist groups in their distorted theories nor the terrorists in their search for legitimacy to their inhuman deeds were in need of much time and effort to find in the history books what they were looking for.The history books, as written by a number of historians, were replete with bloodshed, fires, massacres, beheadings, loots and war slaves which were backed by fatwas (Islamic edicts) to justify them.The fatwas made this violence the most peaceful means for spreading Islam and for building an Islamic state.We can safely claim that the extremist groups and the terrorist gangs did not take advantage of the violence which was propagated by history books but they were themselves the natural breed and the byproduct of it as it came in the perverted history...
