Many people around here will either have experienced this themselves or know someone who has. Its not only in Qatar of course! but yes verbal contracts have no weight..breaking promises seem to be a norm these days,Audubillah! Heck,what with people managing to cheat even with non verbal, documented, agreements what do you expect,right? As for your predicament, yes as advised by others, try to talk to your superiors and if all your efforts are in vain you either go with what they give you now or walk away..but never be rash!Think over your decisions carefully,do research, and weigh your pros and cons..All the best to you!
