Employees not treated very well, but things will be better once the current DG and head of HR move on - Recensione dipendente - Manager presso IATA

- Employees are treated as an expendable resource, overworked until burnout and then just replaced with a new batch of eager employees that don't know what they are getting themselves into. One employee literally died at his desk working late one night. Senior management barely took any regard to this catastrophic event. - Employees are shipped over from other countries even for low level clerical positions so that they can be given tax-free status. This allows IATA to pay less for their salary cost and lets the employee receive more (cutting out the Governments share for taxes). This also instills fear and a high pressure to perform on the employee who if fired would literally be shipped back home as they would have no citizenship rights. - There is an air of animosity between local employees and ones from out of country due to the big salary differences resulting from not being taxed. This in effect creates a class system at IATA, and results in a typical situation of a manager getting paid less than a subordinate.
