Reader comments:
- We don't want to work construction in the dirt and dust. We would all
rather have nice office jobs where we can sit on our collective behinds
while the expats do all the work. That is how it's been since I can remember
and it’s always worked. Please don't stir the pot. Most of us are happy
doing next to nothing while the expats pay for the privilege of living on
our island - Jerome Bush
- Shame on you, Jerome Bush for your letter. I am a Caymanian and I am
certainly not satisfied to sit on my butt and let others do my work. I work
hard and take great pride in my work. Please do not subscribe to the image
in which the expats are trying to have Caymanians portrayed - Observer
- It’s about time somebody wrote about the expatriates taking away the
Caymanian jobs, when the Caymanians should have the first opportunity. Train
Caymanians - they are your future - Maria Kunins
- Oh please, no one here is really qualified for the jobs that they are
taking anyway. Having overqualified expats here is the reason our country is
so successful and the reason most of us have the level of jobs that we do.
Let them have all the hard, tiring, work-intensive jobs they want. That
leaves us controlling the country, working the hours we want for the pay
that we want. They work, we just come in and grace them with our Caymanian
presence and in seven years we toss their behinds to the airport. It’s a
wonderful system, don’t mess it up or you too will end up working over 6
hours a day for less pay than you deserve for being born here - Jerome
Bush
- Jerome, your comments are laughable to say the least and an obvious
indication of your slack and narrow minded attitude. It is unfortunate that
you degrade the efforts of well educated and hard working Caymanians and
"overqualified expats" alike - Overqualified Expat
- I would like to go to the Caymans and teach people how to do drywall
installation and drywall finishing. Also I am looking for a job in the
Caymans Where would l call to get the ball rolling? - Chris Guarino
