Dubai's ruler sacked 9 senior officials because they weren't at work at 7:30 in the morning

Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum, the emir of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, has sacked a bunch of senior officials and ordered a
major shake-up of the way the city is run after visiting government offices at 7:30 on a Sunday morning and finding that many staff members were not yet at work.
Al-Maktoum made an unannounced trip to a government office in Dubai, the city known for its huge skyscrapers and crazy wealth, this past Sunday - which is a normal working day in the UAE - and seems to have been disappointed by
the lack of workers present.
After the visit, his government posted a video on Instagram of his making the trip and finding the office empty, an exercise a Dubai media official said was intended to "send a message,"
according to Reuters.
Soon after the visit, al-Maktoum announced the forced retirement of nine of Dubai's most senior officials, all from the Dubai Municipality's executive management, including directors and
assistant directors-general in departments such as legal affairs and planning, the UAE's state news agency WAM reported, according to the
Mail Online . He thanked the officials for their services but said the emirate needed a new generation of leadership going forward.
Along with the trip to the office buildings, al-Maktoum also visited Dubai's international airport to carry out a similar inspection. This visit was also posted on Instagram.
