UPDATE
I just want to go back and clarify a few things. I didn't go into detail about what happened with my job because that's not what this video is about and I didn't want it to become a focal point. I only brought it up because it was one of the various things that brought me to the decision to fly to California so it seemed relevant to mention. I didn't want to dwell on all the details.
However, it's been brought to my attention that, by glossing over the details, I may have inadvertently given the wrong impression. Ultimately, the main reason I left my job was because my money was withheld from me for so long and that made me extremely nervous and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, we all do need money to go about our lives! But me not getting paid was down to one person and is by no means a reflection of all the people I worked with. My principal and fellow teachers were always so supportive and kind and I would hate for the actions of one person to give a false impression of everyone else I had the pleasure of working with.
It's time for an overdue life update. You guys know I love living in Bahrain as an expat ever since I moved to Bahrain over a year ago. But recently living in Bahrain has been difficult. I've been through a lot of stress and I realised that I was letting fear run the show. So I decided to follow my heart and follow my dreams and here's where it led me.

Also the new system they applied at your work place sounds very familiar.. it’s the same system they implement in Harrods in London
So sorry about this Aimee...best wishes
Thank you
Good for you... I loved San Diego !!
Thanks! It's a really love place.
This is crazy because l literally just quit my job in a foreign country to come back home because it wasn't working out! It's so scary and hard to do but worth it for your mental and physical health. You definitely made the right choice! Xx
That's such a coincidence! I'm glad you walked away from a negative situation. It's a hard thing to do, but so worth it xx
I was trapped for 3 years and it took me 2 years vacation to get rid of the stress and depression I accumulated for those 3 years. You are so strong! Love your videos and your sense of humour! I would like to movie to Middle East would be nice to chat privately with you
That does sound so stressful and I'm glad you took the time to focus on your mental health. I think that's very important.
Love from bahrain❤️🇧🇭
Did you come back to Bahrain? What are your thoughts today in 2021?
Typical teacher challenges which is why I wish I could QUIT. I hate my job (but love the kids) because the way you described what you went through is exactly what I’m going through atm
That's so sad. I know how you feel when you're just staying for the kids. I hope everything works out for you.
Welcome to America. You will love it!
No she wont because Black American men have a habit of cat calling. im not being racist, its just what they like to do. she cant handle that. Bahrain is by far safer than the US.
Tell you what I’m an expat but also a citizen of New Zealand 🇳🇿 and recently NZ has become a hell hole for me , I’m having the worst time as a Teacher in NZ currently and I really want to run off to Bahrain because my husband is there …really hoping I will have a better work environment there
I can relate . I left my job in Bahrain because of one horrible manager who was not a Bahraini . It is sad to see some expats make other expats' lives hell ... I will eventually go back to Bahrain soon and find a better job.... I wish my ex boss all the misery of the world....
That’s so awful. I hope you can find a much better job where you’re really appreciated
@@AimeeRebecca Thanks Aimee! Wish you all the best, too!
I am going through this now. I don’t want to leave Bahrain, but have to at the moment, due to managerial problems. Hopefully, I can return with a better position soon.
I am about to go there for work but now I'm scared
Same thing happened to me in Iraq at a school a year ago! Except didn’t get full salary!
which school
Oh no, I’m sorry this happened to you! I hope you’ll find a better job in Bahrain or anywhere you wish to be. Enjoy your break you obviously need it. P.s. Bahrain loves you too :-)
Thank you! ❤️ That's so kind and really made me smile.
Hi, I am not sure if you remember me but i was with the same employer at the same time when all of this was happening to you and i totally understand what you went through as same thing happened to me and eventually i left due to stress.I hope you are doing better now.
San diego is so nice. I live in Huntington Beach.
Oh nice! I visited there last time I came to stay.
I’m just watching - what happened to your best friend/roomie?
She's still there holding down the fort. I'll be back there in a few weeks.
This was my first thought too
Do you all ship to the US with Merch
Yep, it ships worldwide :D
Hi Aimee... sorry to hear about your experience in Bahrain.... actually i was trying to relocate to bahrain from india what would you suggest.... I'm a civil engineer....just started hunting jobs in Bahrain.
I love Bahrain. I managed to find another job there and went back. Overall, I think it's a really nice place to live.
so did you have a situation where both the teaching company in Kuwait and Bahrain didn't pay for you two months? It sux, I experienced it in Spain. No-one should have to argue and fight for their pay.
The school in Kuwait withheld money from my final paycheque and the school in Bahrain tried to keep 2 months' pay from me. It's insane what some places think is reasonable 😓
Hai Aimee, for school teaching or college teaching what IELTS we need to study General or Academic? Please reply Aimee...
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure. I did a PGCE so it's different.
Ok Aimee, thank you so much...
whyyyyyyyyy
did u like bahrain?
Bahrain has a strong legal system and I’m sure you know of LMRA that are on expats side.. You just didn’t know your rights.. You should have educated your self
He my love, I miss you
What was ur job and where did u work
I was working as a teacher in Juffair.
I can be related to this ppl keep telling me that dont quite ppl dream to have job n u r quitting for stupid reason, but I work because I love my job regardless of the money so when I dont feel my best in that job I just will walk away.... I am sorry for what happen to u they lost such a sweet person, but how about working in several institute per hour (by having flexi visa) there are so many institute that looking for native English regardless to the qualifications you may check ( BRELTIZ,ELSC,ORGIN training centre n many more!) Just make a list of all institute n call them (dont send CV coz they need to hear the native accent) n good luck!
Thanks for the advice. And you're definitely right. If you do you job because you're passionate about it and it makes you happy and it stops being fulfilling for you then the best thing to do is to find something that does.
Are you going to left Bahrain? 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I will be back! :)
@@AimeeRebecca ohhh wow glad to hear that..
How are you, I wish you always be happy and I want talk to you pls💚💙💗
Hello from Bahrain. We seems to be in the same boat in a way. My story is a bit different and difficult. I am also coming back to the States for about 2 months in November and December to clear my mind. If you need anything here in Bahrain please do let me know. Will try my best to help you with what I can.
Both people and work. I have been here 9 years now. I am an animal rights activist and a rescuer. That alone I am sure you get the picture. Just came from Kuwait as they attacked one of the shelters and shot over 70 animals.
Rxx x I spent most of the time in the shelter there and didn’t get to experience much of human interaction but I am sure if I did would have been a disaster as I would have fought and probably land myself in jail. I just spent half a day in Bahrain jail and it’s not the nicest place to be. Freedom is just a figure of speech and rights are unrealized dreams.
Hi friend pls I want to know more about Bahrain. I want to come to Bahrain to work. Is there work for foreigners
@@Nobechildz1 It really depends on what kind a work you are looking for and your nationality as fare as visa requirements. Lately there is been push for Bahrainization, in other words jobs for Bahrainis and not expats. Therefore you would research little bit about the industry sector you are looking for and the job availability at the moment.
Thanks for your reply. I want to know the kind of job one can do in Bahrain. The kind of job available in the country. Is there employment opportunities!!
I like your spirit still, you've mind of men and look of women and that's why your great, actually what you said about the work it's truth they'll use you finish like call card and find it difficult to get you paid more a special when your working with an Egyptian India and some few other country living here, they're also reason why here is hard for people coming to live in here because you'll end up working with them. But if you can be lucky to meet the locals and work with them oh my God your bless because they're going to be paying you at right time and treat you like human beings that you are not other way round. There's really much to talk about this people but is better i stop here.
Yes, I agree with you, ive seen it and heard it, it depends alot on people/ country you work with.
I get the vibe that you're an empath. Me too😅
You need to go in Thailand.. I'll assure that here, it's better than bahrain. People, beaches, places here are so good than bahrain.. And the cost of living here is affordable than bahrain filthy lifestyle
Teaching salary is low in Thailand
14 days more and I'm gonna do the same 🌹🙄
I'm sorry to hear that, but also happy for you that you're making a positive change.
Please say you got your money and lugaget
Yes thank goodness! I got paid everything I was owed and got all my stuff back.
@@AimeeRebecca I would like to private message you as I am heading to Bahrain for a job in the area of Juffair.
Loosey goosey 😂
The more stress we feel, the more stress we attract.....
Everything inside reflects outside.....
If we are afraid inside......we attract fear outside.
So, pls, work with yourself from inside.....and you will attract better experiences for you.
Good decision to leave Bahrain I might say. :)
Why'd you say this?😮
It's a shit place with no future.
Do you think they will Black list you in Bahrain? I hope not
I've done everything 100% legally with the help of a legal adviser because that was something I was worried about. It shouldn't be an issue.
They black list people? What reasons?
This lady doesn't know a lot about Bahrain. she's not qualified. she's not a local. she hasn't lived in more difficult countries to see the difference. she hasn't lived in Bahrain for decades like many of us. Bahrain was ranked in top 10 for foreigners by professional analysts. If you are too picky about every tiny things, you will never find the perfect place on Earth. This is Earth not Paradise. You also fail to mention the low crime rate and the friendliness of the people.
Sir, I can see you've left at least seven comments on my channel within the last few hours so by now maybe you've picked up on the fact that I've lived and worked in 5 different countries and that I regularly talked about how Bahrain was my favourite. That doesn't mean bad things don't happen there. I personally dealt with a lot of workplace drama (including not being paid the salary I was owed and being threatened by an employer), but I still speak highly of the country and my time there. I'm curious to know what more you want from me.
