MR Menon should clear salaries for his employees first …then decide on to do charity ..

[@sachinjoseph1642]

True

[@moonyfilmhouseug]

Why work for salary as a real estate sales manager where is the commission it means your not selling 😂 why do you want free things

[@rennyrobinson]

Very correct

Who knows that he is giving half his money for charity, just bla bla blaaaa ...........

Such a gem person donating other’s money, Shoba haven’t paid 100s of suppliers, scanning millions, not giving salaries, so in a nutshell we are donating to charity without knowledge

[@mershm6638]

My friend and many others I know worked in Sobha in business bay office and didn't get the salary for months. They eventually got in to other jobs and I know they still haven't received the settlement. My friend got a lawyer and paid fees when she had nothing in her hand. Case reached no where and no action taken against them. Hopeless she went to get the insurance amount which is like 3000 or 3500 via the tadbeer or some centers, borrowed 150 from me and paid the charges to get the insurance amount. Fews days later we were hopeful and went to the center only to realise that the amount was released but court took it as charges. Didnt quite understand. So all I want to say is first have a look inside of your company and do charity later.

he said he never does contracting he made money through constructing buildings for infosys. he was a interior decorator in oman but made money specially in bangalore real estate but never admitted it in this video such a shame on him and then he moved to Dubai. Mr.Menon kindly do not forget the path that you have traversed and give due credit for your success. that is humility. you may donate half ur money to charity thats separate

[@Shankarsumanan]

For my experience, I went to shobha interview with my friends in dubai, then I realized lots of poor fellows like us came for the interview with lot of expectations but, unfortunately we find very sad situations of peaple work for him. Without salaries low paid actually, they are offering engineers only 2000 DHS. very bad experience, and they use peaples. Without benefits.after all I selected the second last stage and we have the final exam contacted in sobha Heartland. Rejected 😊. Thanks to God now, I'm working fully satisfied with my job.

[@suji1103]

As far as I have seen personally Dubai construction market pay lower wages than Indian construction market. In India especially in Kerala and Tamil Nadu monthly salary of 30K on the other hand a Bangladeshi worker basic salary is 700AED + OT maximum he is earning 1200AED. Most of the construction labors stay away from city they have to wake up early morning to reach the site. I always advice and tell them Middle is not a place for blue collar workers. Its better to work in India and live happily. At least in India the construction workers are not slave they take off whenever they want. During Diwali many go on leave for a week and many don't return back. 🤣

[@CosmosChill7649]

Sorry to hear your expectations were not met by Sobha. However, if a person is willing to work for 20DHS, he should be selected. That is my humble opinion.

[@avjar-nz7yt]

Yes his building is his body or whatever he said, one building ofShobha group at kochi work happens 24/7 heavy construction and noise 24:7 people are frustrated whoever lives nearby. Flaunting all the rules possible.

130000 AED still pending in sobha interiors any solution Mr Menon?

[@jimmypaul5825]

The best thing for him is to build some budget homes for employees for whom he had not settled salaries. As far as I understand ownership of some companies was transferred to avoid paying their settlements. The charity should forst begin for ex employees, then employees and then larger public.

[@user-rrrkkk64]

Better give the salaries on time to the hard working staff first then decide the charity thing 😂😂
