		<description>Hi, 

i know some people who work for CBK and the staff was actually promised new contracts with nothing changed except for the fact that termination of this contract releases the indemnities pressure on CBK since they paid all the employees their indemnities and now a new resets that issue. so when they finally decide to fire them .. they wont have to pay as much (adding all the previous indemnities with the 5 year and the 15 year thing as Emily mentioned above)

some of the staff is pretty happy about getting all that money in their hand.. well at least the person who told me was. :P</description>

		<description>Thats stupid and makes no sense. If workers refuse to sign the new contracts the Bank will be forced to pay millions as the bank will have to pay each employer under Kuwaiti employment laws.</description>

		<description>I guess this news is partly true. Since i had a couple of friends and spoke to him and they told me that they are getting the salary in advance and they will be having new contracts with less bonus or no bonus depands on the grade of the employee. But no salary cut so far.
hope for the best .</description>
