A meeting with MEP Expert Mr. Soffyan Zeinuddin

Overwhelming. That's the word I would use to describe my experience after meeting Eng. Soffyan Zeinuddin

Do you know how many years Mr. Soffyan worked for one company?

In today's fast-paced world, it is common for individuals to switch jobs frequently to advance in their careers.

However, some choose to stay with the same company for an extended period of time, often due to their loyalty and commitment to the organization.

The fact that Mr. Soffyan worked at Khatib and Alami for more than 3 decades is a remarkable achievement.

I couldn't resist asking him a question.

What made him stay so long at one company?

He said:

"A salary increase makes you happy once a year, but a healthy workplace with challenging opportunities keeps you happy throughout the year."

His perspective was simply brilliant! ✅

I also understood the importance of building long-term relationships with colleagues from our conversation.

I checked his LinkedIn profile and found the following testimonials on his LinkedIn post.

Some other testimonials:

• Dear Boss, I missed you; actually, no one knows your professionalism and valuable expertise more than I do. I wish you good health and all success.
• Your amazing experience in the past years speaks for itself. Mr. Soffyan, you are one of the best managers and people I have ever met in my life.
• It was a pleasure knowing and working with you over the past few years.
• You have been missed; big loss to your team and company; anyone who worked with you is super lucky. Hope you all the best because you deserve the best and nothing else.
• This is a huge loss for Khatib and Alami. Mr. Soffyan Zeinuddin is one of the key people behind khatib and Alami's success over the past 3 decades in the UAE and Bahrain. He will be a good asset to any consultancy firm or developer he wishes to join. All the best, Mr. Soffyan.
• I wish you the best wishes. You are a great personality, and I remember my first emergency lighting approval and master vendor registration was done by you in the Sharjah branch.
