Lack of ethics and Employee bullying

Jessy
By Jessy

After my experience in Qatar, I ve come across very vivid employee bullying practices......The people at my workplace completely are dull and lack confidence although they have family obligations, yet people have a hell of white skin obsession ..........
I ve encountered that sort of racism in the work place where not one leadership style works where there are hundred walls between many cultures and constructing that bridge is of utmost difficulty.....People cant recognise the difference between an Indian and an American even though both may be highly proficient in English, Serious lack of coherence in thoughts......

Also, I ve encountered employee bullying, which goes unchecked and supported by the top employer..... Really bemused by the level of sickness.....Although pay may be high yet Indians are looked down upon vis a vis the western counterparts........ Well What i learnt was practically nothing but to survive in this world one has to have a hell of cultural bias......... Rigidity leads to frustrationa and complete irreverance to free flow of thoughts...... With this I bid good bye .....

However, this does not just only happen to one nation, I myself have gone through a great deal of harassement here in my office with so called whitey expats. being a whitey myself. They are rude, they harass, they demoralise and if it were allowed I would name them they should be named as they are a danger to any office.

Until I actually made an official complaint, where the local management were entirely surprised that one west expat complained against another expat (they thought we were all friends) the Manager was fianlly removed and the next one is on the removal list.

We have Indians, Philippinos, Egyptians, Palestinans, and other nationalities in our office - we interact with each other and spend our free time with each other. Most of all we share all our food and cooking ideas with each other - hmm yes even men. Skins colour does not play a part in our daily lives and I am the only European working in this office.

Queen Renee is the best at generalizing. Didn't even both to read our comments or that fact that we're all working in our offices happily.

If she said, "There is some discrimination going on". I'd say "yes there is. You are right." and then offer a cookie.

But she's paranoid. OoooooH Qatar is out to get you OoooooooH.

If someone shares a good experience, we're not being 'realistic', if she over generalizes negativitiy, she's 'keepin it real'. Lol

I used to call her "viper'

You know...sharp tongue...

Big mistake for me!

She's a really nice person, a smart lady, dead-honest,and a great communicator

She is a secret guardian angel.

With her unique blend of sarcasm,compassion, realism and humor, she helps people find sensible, workable answers to their problems.

Please, dont make same mistake!!!

such as this coz this has totally deviated from the topic to PERSONAL ATTACKS and further degraded to comments about the social group...

I'm right though, it didn't matter really what I would say (my bad) and you don't give a bull's crap to what other may say coz you seemed to be convinced of what you believed in...

Oh well...that's my 2 cents worth of opinion....CARRY ON

dont give me this crap that you know her in person on a forum....many people dont know others in "real life" and choose to stay this way...this " but I've met her" means nothing on a forum and should not be mentioned...AS IT IS CYPER WORLD....no wonder why people were getting pissed at not being allowed to attend soical gatherings...you go on and on about "how you know this person and that person" which is fine but carry on when naturally people want to join...seriously...go figure...

What "mir" ? You all bullying the poor sod? Even is he is as pathetic as you all make him to be, the OP has very valid points.

Anytime anyone makes negative comments about Qatar, you people jump down our throat.....I guess theres a difference between a country where it wants to improve on human rights and then you have QATAR

By nadt• 17 Jun 2008 23:31

Renee before you judge what we say, at least read about some of our responses to the threads that mention the issues you raised...

i wouldnt be to quick to defend "jessy, hes one of the biggest rascist people here on QL.

By Renee• 17 Jun 2008 23:21
Renee

You people seriously need to leave Doha for a few years to work and realize the discrimination, incompetence, racism and sexism that exist in most workplaces in Qatar.

If you work in the Uk, US, Aus, etc. do you get a dark skinned “man” to pour you a cup of tea? Like in Doha? Next time you go home, why don’t you see their reaction?

So it seems the neo-colonists are alive and well.

Before you say I am generalising, give it a go, or are you so obsessed at being the good “Samaritan” on QL that you can’t make a single negative comment about Qatar anymore??

More over I congratulate not only Qatar but the gulf assigning pay levels according to race despite the fact that we are all living in the same country. If that is not racism can you please tell me what is?? (And don’t try to justice whilst it’s true that the west is more expensive many of these poor sods can’t afford to travel home to see their families. Fine this is not their country, but at least treat them with some damn dignity -they are human after all.)

It’s so easy for you westerners on here to praise Qatar all the time and criticise anyone that says a negative thing – how about you step in the shoes of a person from the sub-continent and see how you feel when your told you can’t step into a shopping centre because it is ‘family day’ whilst western single men walk in unrepeated.

The curfews in stores such as H&M as well as other retail outlets plus Qatar Airways must seek permission to leave and must be home before 10pm during the weekdays. Yeah that is so normal and like everywhere else.

This does reek of sexism and racism because it is not imposed on westerners. The reason why they are not is that nobody would come work in Qatar. BTW I am a westerner.....

Jessy I seriously think these people are getting paid to say good things about Doha. The reason I say this is that if you speak to 100% of westerners on the street, the are in total agreement with me and understand the pure misery that goes on in this country.

Spare a thought for the slave workers who live 10 to a rooms when your living in your apartment..

It comes down to people love to live with their "eyes closed" - do I need to say more?

"People cant recognise the difference between an Indian and an American"..and what is a difference?

From Wikipedia:

" Indian Americans are Americans who are of Indian ancestry. The U.S. Census Bureau popularized the term Asian Indian to avoid confusion with "American Indian".

In North America the term Indian has an ambiguous meaning. Historically, Indian was commonly used to indicate Native American. If a more specific term was needed to differentiate; American Indian and East Indian were commonly used. American Indian has fallen out of favor and Native American is more commonly used to refer to the Indigenous peoples of North America. East Indian is still in common use. Currently South Asian is often used instead of East Indian."

...I fit our quite multinational (but mostly qatari)... company...bullying/ragging??..don't know... never noticed.. btw, the same people could behave and act differently with defferent persons...or maybe it worth it to change a company.. to find more ethical/intelligent environment..i have not been sarcastic, it's pretty serious...

In my opinion his thread is quiet interesting. Apparently some other QLER's have other views and sort of "Bully attitude," embedded along with their thoughts in Hijacking this thread.

Not saying, that I'm always "innocent" in the "Bullying Business and issues," yet, I recognize my fair share of "bullying" and "hijacking threads," but I recommend to everyone, including myself to chill out and reconsider our attitude about "Bullying others with out proof of Identity".

the workforce are as follows:

- top managements are GERMAN (4 pax)

- 1 canadian (BD Manager)

- 4 Indians (2 supervisors, 1 administrator, 1 sales executive),

- 5 Sudanese (2 site supervisors, 2 PROs, 1 coordinator, 1 receptionist)

- 2 Sri Lankans (1 coordinator , 1 supervisor),

- 10 Filipinos (3 in accounting, 7 coordinators)

- 1 Nepali (cleaner/teaboy)

AND....this has been the set-up since the time i came to the company (plus-minus those who left/resigned)...

Believe it or not...we don't have any problems/issues that you mentioned. And from the time i came in to QL, you're one of the RARE posters who complained of such...

If that isn't internationalisation I don't know what is.
