syamsat - you might have it backwards. if you are getting paid in USD and they change the peg, a USD will certainly be worth less QAR than it currently is. You are right in saying there will be more QAR per dollar, but if you are being paid in USD, that means that things will get more expensive for you.
cruveck - interesting indeed. i would guess your company suspects change is coming, like many of us. as to when that change occurs, they are guessing like the rest of us. but usually companies like to play these things safe so it's interesting that they are hedging their bets this early. the only reason i can think of for them doing this is to pre-emptively stop people from looking for other jobs because they think their purchasing power will be reduced with the new peg.
