It can be very taxing for many working people to commute to the office during high traffic. Those who reside in one emirate and work in another frequently find that what should be a short journey takes hours.
According to Khaleej Times, specialists have cautioned that being stopped in traffic can hurt one’s physical and mental well-being. Some workers have left their positions to create their own enterprises or pursue employment closer to their homes, but most workers accept the hours spent in their cars as a necessary part of their daily routine.
The extreme stress of her daily journey recently forced Sarah Sultan, a former employee in the education sector, to decide to leave her job. The London-born UAE citizen resides with her three kids: a 2-year-old boy, a 5-year-old daughter, and an 8-year-old daughter. Supporting exceptional educational needs was a major focus of Sarah’s work in education.
