britexpat .. i have been living in qata over 30 years with my family (parents), i recieved my all education stages also here , i didnt come to qatar by contract or job offered by QP , i didnt come for money as you said coz qatar means to me more than decent package as you said its family,community,friends you can say its my home , all what i did is i accepted job offer in QP & i worked for them ,
Brit, the jobless are may be queuing for an offer here, but those who have a stable life and professional career will only move if the offer is tempting. If they get to know that they are likely to be fired at the first oil price drop then they would think twice.
Oh Dia I am very shocked and sad for you. What's their problem with you finding another job and transferring to it? This is ridiculous! I hope you are not stuck with a loan as this will make your situation even more complicated. I think if this goes to the international media a lot. Expats will not be tempted to come here even of the offered salary is high.
I think there is a bit of exaggeration here from Diaa and Ahmed. Yes they were fired but they were given months to finish their kids schooling and pay their loans. Most of them sorted out their issues and left, and a very tiny minority is probably still struggling with loans. I haven't heard about the fact that they are not allowed to change jobs but if it is true this is really sad and counter-productive for Qatar. Anyway let's wish them good luck and remember that this can happen to each one of us. Therefore make sure you guys do not have loans or pay the ones you have as soon as possible.
Anyone worked at QP and got terminated is blocked in the immigration system ..mean no another job no payment for the bank loan then no exit permit coz the banks will not allow you to exit unless you cover your loan... .. you can imagine the situation!! I forgot also no schools !!
Next in line are all QP subsidiaries, we will be seeing lots of unemployed expats this 2015 Q4 and 2016 Q1. heard that final plans will have to approved before Eid Al Adha so that some announcements will be made once employees come back from the Eid Al Adha holidays, while other QP subsidiaries will implement their terminations on january 2016. Sad part is that even if employee was given NOC, many were rejected by immigration authority. Many have no chance to work again to pay off bank loan.
Useless people: people doing nothing or little to justify their fat salary. People not doing the right job. People hired for their network and wasta not for their skills, etc.
They are firing people and they announced it in the form of restructuring two weeks ago. They are overstaffed and they have plenty of useless people there anyway so they had to do it.
I think they are not cutting the work force but replacing the Old ones with high salaries with young ones, I mean look at all those vacancies they have in their site...
in case if they do, I feel its a good move. as far as I know there are 100s of unqualified people simply taking salary there. and all been brought through "Vasta". Most of the staffs are relative of someone who is working there . lol
@rajesh its 100% true. If they loose projects they HAVE TO reduce manpower. They are not a charitable organization. In fact they do not cut down on employees who are productive !! Hope you got the point, in addition they have to give employment to their Nationals who are qualified and unemployed. :-0

Diaa: you are the exception to the rule - a small minority I believe

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that QP offered some of the best packages in Qatar.
If that's true , then they have had done very good times.
We are expats. Here for the short term. We come here for money , with the full knowledge that we can be sent home anytime

Yacine: disagree with you totally . They are queuing to come to Qatar

yacine.h No exaggeration .. coz I'm facing that personally & in addition anyone under my sponsorship like wife & family members also blocked ..

This highlights the danger of expats getting loans they can't pay back..

Brit.. I guess you are a Sulaymani operator !
I think so. When I'm putting the sugar in the Karak for your customers, you always shout "Use Less, Use Less" :o(
You mean mallus for sure !

Define useless people?
Damn. I was thinking of applying for a very senior role :o(
