It's interesting to learn that you were the architect of the 'termination interview'. May I know the philosophy and the reasons for introducing a policy such as this?
The reason I ask is that QP seemed to be applying this policy to all staff who wished to resign, even those who were, like myself, on a fixed term contract!
It seems to me that QP are now actively using this policy to discourage the resignation of any of their employees, regardless of their contract terms (permanent or fixed term).
So yes, I believe the procedure is now 'suspect' and is being 'abused' rather than being used as intended.
Approximately fifteen signatures are now required from senior QP staff to obtain approval of resignation, and it will take a minimum of eight weeks to obtain all the required signatures.
Regarding the other issues and problems I encountered in QP, it may be that I was simply unlucky in being assigned to that particular QP dept.
Maybe I was also unlucky in being interviewed by a recruiter who was more than economical with the truth regarding the cost of accomodation and vehicles in Qatar at that time.
But, considering the fact that so many other people in my dept suffered the same problems as myself, and felt that they had been cheated when the true situation in Qatar became apparent to them, I can only conclude that our mutual problems were a result of QP's recruitment policy at that time.
If QP had been honest at the interview stage and had provided realistic allowances for housing and transport, then I would still be working there, despite the appallingly weak management and lack of equity within my dept.
