Hi all,

I'm considering working in Qatar Foundation, but was wondering what the average salaries are for individuals working there, and what the working hours are like?

Thanks and hope to get responses soon.

Um_Nooh,

Obviously there was a lot of misunderstanding maybe due to misinterpretation.

But its all clear now.

Now that you clarified your mistake (which triggered my sarcasm), what is the post you are applying for?

Who knows who might become your boss!

Nic - when i talked about lack of class and respect, it had nothing to do, and was not directed towards individuals that work as tea/coffee servers, and hence lead to me feeling offended.... it was directed to how you answered me! You were the person that I felt lacked class and respect (and that is without knowing your professional background).

If you want to talk about answering, and stating things appropriately, you could have chosen your words in a more decent manner. Follow what you preach basically. The fact that not only I was offened but another member as well, who if I may add is NOT qatari, shows a lot about your approach.

Please do not assume that just because I am Qatari, I do not value people that work as tea/coffee servers, or anyone else for that matter! Just as you assumed the worst in me, and thought I sterotyped them as being low class citizens, you were a hypocrite to assume that as a Qatari that is how I would think of them! The only person that acted wrongly is you. You made your own assumptions, and stuck to it, without giving me the benefit of the doubt.

Also, on the topic about racism...and upbringing, there are a lot of people from Canada that are racist. You can't say that no one in Canada isn't! I have nothing bad to say though about canadians, as I have known many, and have friends that are canadians, and all of them I love. Whether you want to direct this topic to racism, is another story however, and racism was not on my mind when I responded to you anyway.

I will agree with you in one thing though, which I have to thank you for, and that was to show me that I should have been more specific. You are right. For that I apologize to everyone for letting that slip my mind, and I do agree it is an important factor to point out. At the time when I wrote the message I had a certain thought in mind, and didn't clarify myself.

Anyway ill throw this out to a misunderstanding between the both of us. Thank you for showing me my errors, and I wish you the best.

P.S. There are qataries working as cleaner/tea/coffee ladies =). Many of which I have become friends with.

Um_Nooh and aquabong,

With all respect to cleaners and tea boys. I do respect them a lot and if I had to use ranks, I would consider them all, way above most of the people who exercise a "management" position here in Qatar. Each one of them have a sad story behind them and most of them are heroes suffering under an unjust society.

For your information, from where I come from, a cleaner and a person who serves tea/coffee, is regarded as important as a senior manager and their salaries sometimes are not too apart. The social benefits are equal. We grow up with a diversity of people and racism is just not part of our upbringing!

My reply to Um_Nooh, came out that way because of the way she posted her question!

Anybody could figure out that salaries vary in accordance with the activity you are going to exercise. Um_Nooh assumed that either we could guess her qualifications and targeted job, or whatever.

My answer was deliberated for her to think about her error and at the same time to highlight the fact that there is NO Qatari in 2010, working as a cleaner! Knowing where she comes from, I deliberated used the professions I did as a wake up call.

In Qatar, a society that treats cleaners and tea boys the way they treat, no one can claim they have class, thus Um_Nooh offended reply tone!

If Um_Nooh have a bit of class, the reply could have been: No, its not those professions, I forgot to specify. The post I am looking for is…”

Nic - your response shows, without a doubt, lack of class and respect.

Idris- sorry I don't know how to help with that. Good luck though!

Arlene - thank you so much, i will look into it. I was told though that they don't tend to put working hours and salaries on their website. I want to join the research division of QF.
