When Saudization blasted some of us OFWs and Foreigners alike have wrongfully interpreted it as a threat. Those were normal feelings and reactions that each and everyone has exhibited. We should accept that Job is only temporary. In the Kingdom, the retirement age will start at 55 years old. If you reached this retirement age and your company decided to send you home – you cannot stop it. If you met and accident or got sick and has stopped you from working - it could be a valid reason that your company will send you home.
Saudization teaches us many things like the unemployment rate of Saudis in the Kingdom is high especially for the young graduates. Every year the country has produced ten of thousands newly graduates. Some of them are already working on Saudi government offices around the Kingdom. Although still, the government could not accommodate all of these young energetic newly graduates.
I see that the unemployment situation in the Kingdom has pushed these young energetic Saudis to unite and started calling for a peaceful rally, protest and demonstration – asking the government to address the dilemma of being unemployed. I assumed that this is the main reason why Saudization is introduced and prioritized in the Kingdom nowadays and we have to appreciate it.
