Re: cost of living in muscat

Have I been fleeced by my employer in Oman ? A consumer marketing company offered me a salary of 1200 RO (all inclusive salary) plus ,medicals and airfare annualy once. I am single and Now after joining I find that to find a fully furnished home in good locality I have to spend almost RO 700/800, wheras my company had told me that one can get a decent accomodatiuon within 400 RO per month. So 70% of my salary goes into rent, and even after that I have some or other repair cost in the house which I have to bear plus some money to pay to apartment security (which the company wont bear anyway). HAd a fever for 3 days and had to so some blood test, plus private clinic visit - spent almost 120 RO for everything test, clinic, check up and medicines. Now fine and okay. But when gave the bill to my company, they say you were not admitted in hospital, so this does not come under medical insurance and hence pay from your own pocket. I find saving very difficult at this salary, after all types of costs plus weekend outings. I think have been fleeced by my employer.
