Whether you are working in a private or a government job, some offenses are so bad, they can get you fired on the spot. In the UAE, the labour law lists these 10 career-ending offenses that workers must avoid. If you make any of these mistakes, you may need to refresh your resume and go back to doing a job search while working part-time jobs.

Working abroad exposes foreign workers to different working conditions as well as environment. This is why it is important for a foreign worker, like an OFW, to be aware of local laws and regulations so that they could prosper in their new work environment. Getting fired without proper reason or justification, also called arbitrary dismissal, is of course illegal as seen in this video below.

The following list below are things that one MUST NOT DO in the UAE, lest he or she gets fired on the spot:
1. If the worker adopts a false identity or nationality or submits forged certificate or documents;
2. If the worker is engaged on probation and is dismissed during the probationary or on its expiry;
3. If the worker makes a mistake resulting in substantial material loss for the employer, on condition that the latter notifies the Ministry of Labour of the incident within 48 hours of his becoming aware of its occurrence;
4. If the worker disobeys instructions respecting industrial safety or the safety of the workplace, on condition that such instructions are in writing and have been posted up at a conspicuous place and, in the case of an illiterate worker, that he has been acquainted with them orally;
5. If the worker does not perform his basic duties under the contract of employment and persists in violating them despite the fact that he has been the subject of a written investigation for this reason and that he has been warned that he will be dismissed if such behavior continues;
6. If the worker reveals any secret of the establishment in which he is employed;
7. If the worker is finally sentenced by a competent court for an offence involving honour, honesty or public morals;
8. If the worker is found in a state of drunkenness or under the influence of a drug during working hours;
9. If, while working, the worker assaults the employer, the responsible manager or any of his work mates;
10. If the worker absents from his work without a valid reason for more than 20 non-consecutive days, or more than seven consecutive days, in any one year.
If you are not happy with your current employer, do not risk doing any of the things above. Instead, you should resign the proper way (as explained below).

Working abroad is never easy. Always be ready for anything, including the possibility of losing your job. Always be open for other career, job market, or even business opportunity.

![Overseas Filipino workers (OFW) are warned that filming or even taking photos of a person and posting or sharing it on social media or by a form of a private message, more so if they are half naked, is highly prohibited in Middle Eastern countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Offenders will be put in jail and deported. Advertisement A male OFW in Dubai was put to jail for six months and is facing deportation after he was caught secretly filming his female flatmate in Dubai, UAE. A 24-year-old Filipina was notified by her friend that her 38-year-old Filipino former flatmate had secretly taken a video of her while half-naked in her bedroom in November. Her friend showed her a 10-second video on WhatsApp showing her partly naked while getting dressed. It could have been taken in the morning while she prepares herself going to work. According to her friend, the accused even boasted before him that he had filmed her nude. The Dubai Court of First Instance convicted the suspect with breaching the womanâs modesty, molesting her by secretly filming her nude and misusing the social media by filming the woman. Advertisement Video voyeurism is strictly punishable even in the Philippines and offenders could face legal reprimands. In the UAE, they are more strict in implementing the law against it. The accused said he is terribly sorry for what he did as he pleaded for forgiveness but the victim demands severe punishment for what he did. âI was at home at Dubai Investment Park when my Filipino friend told me that the defendant had secretly filmed me nude when I was at my previous residence. Initially, I did not believe him until he showed me the clip that the accused had sent to him on WhatsApp. He secretly filmed me while I was getting dressed after taking a morning shower and getting ready to go to work. From the video content, it was quite obvious that the accused slid his hand underneath the wooden partition [that we had used to divide the room into two compartments] and made the video,â the woman narrated. To prevent the accused from using the video and uploading it on the internet, the victim said she wants him to be punished.
