Dubai Job Interview Turns Abusive, Panel Rebukes Woman For Background, Education
Last Updated: A Reddit post highlighted a woman's humiliating experience during a job interview in Dubai. A Reddit user shared a troubling experience his sister went through during what was supposed to be a job interview in Dubai. She was applying for a Personal Assistant position but ended up facing a humiliating situation disguised as a professional meeting. In a post titled 'My Sister Was Humiliated in a Job Interview in Dubai – Please Be Careful," the user explained: 'My sister was invited for an interview for a Personal Assistant role by a man in Dubai who claims to own a perfume business and work for another company. She was upfront in her LinkedIn messages that she doesn't have a university degree, but he insisted she come for an interview anyway, which was held in a café, not an office." He added that the man ignored her for the first 10 minutes, staying on his phone. When he finally spoke, he said: 'I asked my HR, but without a degree, it's not possible." But what happened next went beyond a simple rejection. According to the post, the man made several hurtful comments, attacking her background and dreams. The comments included – 'You won't land a job here without a degree." 'You might be lucky to get a receptionist job at best." 'Why do you live in JVC? Move to Sharjah." 'You roam around sightseeing in Dubai, then go back to your country and become a burden to your sister." 'For your qualification, I can only put you on a cleaner visa." 'She left the interview feeling crushed," the brother shared. 'This wasn't an interview, it was verbal abuse and classist, xenophobic behaviour," he also wrote. In addition, he warned others, especially women and newcomers: 'If someone insists on meeting at a café or non-office… if they ignore what you've already told them, then insult you… Leave. Block them. And report them. You are not the problem." Check out the post here: Shared on July 11, the post received more than 600 upvotes. Many Reddit users expressed concern and support. A user commented, 'Some just use interviews as power plays. This is disgusting." Another said, 'The way he spoke about visas and nationalities says it all, pure elitism." Someone else noted, 'These kinds of fake interviews are alarmingly common in Dubai." At the same time, another praised the woman's bravery: 'Her courage to attend despite knowing her limitations shows strength, not weakness." Many urged action: 'Name and shame him. These people thrive on anonymity." In June, an Indian man's emotional story about losing his job in Dubai and moving back to India went viral. He had shared it on Reddit (though the post has now been deleted), and it touched many people because of how honestly he spoke. In the post, he shared that after working hard for five years, he was suddenly called in for a meeting with HR that changed everything. He lost his job without warning and had to leave Dubai quickly. His honest and personal account connected with a lot of readers. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 10:36 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Jane Street deposits Rs 4,844 crore with Sebi, seeks easing of curbs
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) on Monday said US-based trading firm Jane Street has deposited Rs 4,844 crore into an escrow account in compliance with the regulator's July 3 interim order. The high-frequency trading (HFT) firm has also approached Sebi with a request to lift 'certain conditional restrictions' imposed under the same order. Sebi, which invoked anti-fraud provisions in the case, said it would issue appropriate directions in this regard. If the restrictions are eased, Jane Street may be able to resume its operations in the Indian market, where it is estimated to have executed Rs 44,358 crore worth of equity-options trades between January 2023 and March 2025. Sebi order alleged manipulation of Bank Nifty index In its 105-page interim order issued on July 3, Sebi had temporarily barred Jane Street, alleging manipulation of the widely tracked Bank Nifty index. The regulator also ordered the highest-ever impounding of Rs 4,844 crore, citing unlawful gains. Jane Street has stated that its deposit of the impounded amount has been made 'without prejudice to their rights and remedies which remain available to them in law and equity'. The New York-headquartered firm is expected to soon file an appeal before the Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) challenging the Sebi order. Sebi has charged the firm with violating the Prohibition of Fraudulent and Unfair Trade Practices (PFUTP) regulations under the Sebi Act — a serious offence that carries significant penalties. BSE recovers after sharp fall triggered by Sebi action Shares of BSE rose nearly 4 per cent following the latest development. The scrip had previously declined 15 per cent after Sebi's action against Jane Street, which led to a more than 20 per cent drop in futures and options (F&O) turnover on the bourse. According to sources, should Jane Street be allowed to re-enter the Indian markets, the firm is likely to face heightened monitoring from both Sebi and the stock exchanges. 'Sebi remains committed to following due process and ensuring the integrity of the securities market,' the regulator said in a statement. Arbitrage strategy or market manipulation? Sebi's order accused Jane Street of executing a strategy in which it aggressively bought Bank Nifty constituent stocks in the cash and futures segments to artificially inflate the index. It then sold those holdings later in the day, while holding large short positions in index options, thereby profiting from the subsequent fall in the index. Jane Street, however, maintains that these trades were part of a standard 'index arbitrage' strategy — designed to exploit price differentials between related instruments, provide liquidity and enhance market efficiency. In its internal communications, the firm described Sebi's order as 'extremely inflammatory' and claimed it disregards the legitimate role of arbitrageurs in modern financial markets.

Pilot Calls Out Indian Men's Behaviour Towards Flight Attendants: "Secret Pics, Creepy Comments"
An international airline pilot took to Reddit to call out the behaviour of some Indian male passengers towards female flight attendants. She expressed frustration and embarrassment over repeated incidents of disrespect towards flight attendants, including unwanted photos, creepy comments, staring, and inappropriate physical contact. "I'm a pilot working for an international airline, and over time, I've heard this same complaint from cabin crew again and again that a lot of Indian men behave inappropriately towards female flight attendants. We're talking about things like secretly taking photos of them, making creepy comments, staring, or even trying to "accidentally" brush up against them. And sadly, more often than not, it's Indian men," she wrote in the post. The pilot stressed that while not all Indian men exhibit this behaviour, it's common enough that crew members have come to anticipate it from Indian passengers. She expressed shame that their actions contribute to a growing negative stereotype of Indian male travellers globally, and lamented the bad reputation being created due to the actions of a few individuals. "It's honestly embarrassing. I hate that we're building such a bad reputation because of the actions of a few, but it keeps happening often enough that crew members immediately recognise the pattern. I genuinely don't understand what goes through someone's head when they think it's okay to treat another professional. Whether it's entitlement, lack of exposure, or just plain disrespect, it's something we seriously need to talk about more openly," she added. See the post here: As a pilot, I'm embarrassed by how often Indian men disrespect flight attendants by u/CupPleasant8812 in TwoXIndia The pilot also called on Indians to speak out against such behaviour. The post resonated with many users, including flight attendants, who shared their own stories and experiences. One user shared a similar experience, revealing that he had overheard flight attendants expressing dread about flying with Indian male passengers, particularly middle-aged ones, due to past experiences with inappropriate behaviour, unwanted touching, and drunken passengers causing unnecessary drama on flights from India to Thailand. Another user commented, "I work for an international airline as a flight attendant and thank god for my company that we have strict rules in place in case a passenger behaves inappropriately. Indian aviation has such a pathetic approach to this, where you're expected to put up with anything just because the customer is 'god' It sucks how some people have ruined the experience of flying all in all because they have no decency and manners on how to behave on flights." A third user wrote, "Indian men have the worst reputation globally. They should count their good luck that only Indian women, who have been conditioned to accept that they are allowed to have zero standards, put up with them." A fourth added, "Knowing no repercussions will befall them is the reason why."
