The situation is relatively different here.Qataris don't work for private sector. In Government, semi-government & semi private companies. Qataris can be terminated (and in fact a lot were).However, it's not a total termination for the goverment sector employees. their papers are referred to the ministry of Labour. Where they receive a monthly allowance from the government until they find another job (and in most cases they don't). Each year there are dozens who get terminated specially from ministries(thier case is known locally as the central item).
