HCT Sucks!: April 2014

http://hctsucks.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Now Under New Management! Tuesday, April 22, 2014. In defense of HCT - that teacher finally writes! My stance on working at HCT? Well, it’s a pretty good doss, provided you don’t take it at all seriously. So, in contrast to all the whingers on this blog, I would like to offer a positive voice on teaching at HCT, and reveal a hidden opportunity. So, the moral here is: if you’re prepared to come and work at HCT, come prepared to do some research! Links to this post. Labels: Higher Colleges of Technology.

Now Under New Management! Friday, January 30, 2015. A Winner by Miles! Well, the latest candidate to be added to the HCT Hall of Shame is the fine 'gentleman' pictured alongside . Mr Rob Miles, the Head of English at HCT Sharjah! According to my most recent intelligence report, he is an eager and willing clone of the infamous Dr ‘Evil’ Fareed. Rumor has it that he is also a very close friend of another favorite of this blog, 'Tiny' Tim Smith. Sucking up to senior management (I’m SO surprised! Read the pu...

http://hctsucks.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-recent-hct-departure-spills-all.html

Now Under New Management! Sunday, June 30, 2013. A recent HCT departure spills all. I went to HCT with a plan to stay there for about 10 years. After my first week in classes I abandoned that plan, and after a month there I questioned whether I'd make it through the initial 3-year contract. All faculty (approx. 70 at FWC) are relegated to one huge room in which they are assigned a workstation with absolutely no privacy. It was noisy as well. Administration insisted that such an environment pr...Some stud...

Now Under New Management! Saturday, May 17, 2014. The following glowing report on HCT came from the following source:. Http:/ www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/HCT-Reviews-E384204.htm.

HCT Sucks!: Look Back in Wonder

http://hctsucks.blogspot.com/2014/06/look-back-in-wonder.html

Now Under New Management! Friday, June 13, 2014. Look Back in Wonder. The following message dropped into my inbox a couple of weeks back. After a little light editing, I have decided to release it to the wider public, and for the benefit of the global education fraternity. I would like to write a brief story about my awful experience at HCT. OK, if that was not bad enough, the salary stated in the letter of offer did not match the salary that was stated in the email! Yep, it was the lower offer! In closi...

HCT Sucks!: December 2012

http://hctsucks.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html

Now Under New Management! Friday, December 28, 2012. The past month's site stats for HCT Sucks are quite revealing. It appears that the 'Three Uniteds' - States, Kingdom, and Emirates - have the most interest in this site, notching up more than 1500 hits together. What's strange here is that, despite this blog being blocked in the UAE, more than 300 people are finding a way round it every month. Strange, perhaps, but not entirely surprising. United Arab Emirates 329. Links to this post. The lengthy messa...

Now Under New Management! Saturday, August 16, 2014. As clear as the noonday sun. I am more than happy to present for my readers' approbation another 'recommendation' from HCT faculty in Abu Dhabi. This particular writer has since collected his/her gratuity and wisely moved on, but he/she seems keen that others do not make the same mistake of believing the HCT Bullshit Machine that inhabits the HR and Recruitment Department! And then the answer hit me – like the Arab Spring! Links to this post. Read the ...

Now Under New Management! Monday, April 20, 2015. KHALIFA BIN ZAYED AIR COLLEGE and Valerie McGrath. Alas, another interesting chapter in this notorious, trouble-ridden institution has been revealed; and a year or so down the line, the picture has progressed from bizarre to downright diabolical. Mrs Hyde is clearly in the business of protecting her own position, and also wishes to escape the fate of her predecessor. She swiftly moves to get on the good side of her faculty, by doing the following:. The we...
