had a good post all typed and and the page timed-out.....
Anyhow... lets try again....
Amooooory, Truth is asking the question for the same reason many of us ask.....
Are you aware that the work force is made up of nearly 85% of the population? And that the expats contribute way more to the economy of Qatar than the locals?
How do you think the first expats ended up here? They were probably asked to come by the Qatari government as the locals were to uneducated to to do the work alone.....
But the expats who keep the companies running are treated like 3rd class citizens and have no rights......
I was told that if a Qatari doesn't like the look of you, he only has to say the word and you are gone.... is that anyway to treat someone that has given years of service to you?
I have signed a work contract, but apparently, its not worth the paper it's written on... so why bother....
I love Qatar, I came back here when I had the opportunity, but what I am seeing is differnt to what I thought it was.....
What the qataris seem to think is that because they have oil, they are far superior to anyone else..... they fail to realise that respect comes from hard work.... there is a saying "class is bred, not bought"..... so no matter how much money they have, they can never buy themselves decency.... only tolerance...
So, yes, I agree, what would happen to Qatar, if all the expats had to leave? Can you see a qatari sweeping the streets, building roads and living in labour camps?

Just a thought....
