fubar, "And as far as I’m concerned, the bosses of Qataris seldom expect that they are actually capable (or willing) to do the job they are paid for."

- Well, that's counter productive, isn't it? If they judge a person as incapable, after a while, the latter might just give up and live up to their bosses' low expectations. I would expect a high standard and find ways to guide or if I can't guide (eg. technical issues), then find someone or a few people who can. Always don't rely on and bug one person only. Bug a few and spread the love around.

/NB: I said "a few", not the whole world.
