There are pros and cons to such a service

-

Having someone who can talk on your behalf, every now and then, is needed, especially if you are to speak to a difficult person or people who don’t accept differing opinions and perspectiv­es, especially at work. That person can communicat­e your desire to leave your job, negotiate more benefits or a pay rise. It is all about having to depend on someone who is well-informed about the laws and policy and can easily pressure the company to argue your side or provide what you ask for. However, hiring an expert to find the solution can have a lower chance of getting the desired solution. I would prefer to consult a company on employee rights.

Also, if you are unhappy with your work environmen­t, quit! The reason we work abroad is for our bread and butter.
