Brit: No, I am not. It is a practice in many companies both in S Arabia and here in Doha, to retain the original driving license of employees leaving the company. Otherwise, they would not release the End of Service benefits. It is senseless, but it is there. It happened to me in S Arabia even though my license was my own and I had paid for it. I was allowed to leave the company with my benefits and the license when I took a very hard stand on the matter and the HR department was forced to yield. How many can do that?
