Enumerators Find Census Too Tiring
2004-09-21
Kafah Al-Dakhail, a census supervisor of five enumerators in Deriya district of Riyadh, said that two of the five men quit the group saying the job was too tiring.
"We quit. Too much work."
"Ain't that why they call it a job, Mahmoud?"
Al-Dakhail said that census employees have the right to quit if they did not feel up to it. Two of his employees had left the job after they felt tired and dissatisfied with the reward which they thought was not worth their time and effort.
"I got more important things to do than this..."
The supervisor said that there are many reasons for the enumerators to quit — such as pressure of work, long hours of fieldwork, the nature of the area they work in, and lack of flexibility and the poor financial reward, which is only SR200 per day.

#2  Beer. They oughtta be able to go out for a beer after a long day of censusing. Instead, they get to go to masjid and bang their heads on the floor...
