Huigens, who married in January, said the Kuwait package equated to $190,483 a year, not including bonuses, which can equate to up to five months' basic salary a year. "I can't gamble and I can make full restitution to St George Bank," Huigens wrote. "I would dearly like to be able to take up my position in Kuwait as I think everyone wins. "I can repay my debts in full, work in a non-gambling country* and finally I believe I will get my life back on track much better than a term in jail would accomplish.

His best line is "everybody wins". I think most NBK customers would beg to differ!! I can't believe NBK would hire a convicted felon who stole the money while he was working as a liaison officer with his previous bank's large corporate clients!!!
I also feel the pain of NBK staff with their pathetic salaries. My advice is this: Go to Beirut, hit the tables at Casino du Liban, rack up some huge debts, steal the money from your branch vault... then sit back and wait for that promotion!
WTF?!
ReplyDeleteWhy is NBK even considering hiring this loser? something's fishy..
they are going for most bank with robbers in the middle east award
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if this has happened in another local bank, but NBK... I mean whatever happened to No. 1 financial institution in the middle east & all that crap!!
ReplyDeleteI always thought that their pro's in everything, including recruiting of employees, but this just makes them another "baqallah" amongst the others!
And they say wasta is only for Kuwaitis....

ReplyDeleteabt the lebanon advice : it did happen without mentioning names but not gambling but somethin similar and they found out and kept him on board.
ReplyDeleteKuwaities are treated like shit there.. trust me..
too much of subjet to comment on.. cuz I wrote abt it several times ... anyway they deserve ppl like that....
wow zaydoun
ReplyDeletenice post ... it made my weekend
And we await NBK's official response to this story. I'm hoping it makes it into the local Kuwaiti press (though Al-Qabas might skip it)
ReplyDeleteWe might effectively sabotage this man's career, but you know what? I DON'T CARE!!!
not really, you just provided him with perfect chance to get a job anywhere because of his experience in Clorox banking, which is wanted everywhere in every country and company.
