Qataris Told Honestly About How Nobody Wants to Employ Their Lazy Asses
At what was a surprise interface with the chairman of the Qatari Businessmen's Association (QBA), young citizens attending the conclusive ceremony of the Career Fair yesterday were severely critical of private companies for not providing them jobs.
There are big private businesses in the country literally with no Qatari employees at all. "This is not fair to us," said several participants during a question and answer session with Sheikh Faisal bin Qassem Al Thani, head of the QBA.
The plan for the meeting where Sheikh Faisal was to be the chief guest was kept a secret by the organizers until the last moment. After a barrage of questions, Sheikh Faisal broke the silence and told the audience he was willing to offer employment to fellow nationals provided they met the requirements.
“Things here have changed over the past decade. There are many big private players here and I don't think they can afford to hire people who don't have the necessary qualifications,” he said.
“We would prefer to employ locals since we are paying huge housing allowances to expatriate workers,” he said.
“You will have to soon begin preparing yourself to take up private employment as the government cannot accommodate all of you any more,” Sheikh Faisal stated.
Fellow citizens should seize the opportunities available and instead of trying for jobs should take to entrepreneurship, he said. "Over the past three decades only few nationals have successfully set up their own businesses," the QBA chairman lamented.
He said he didn't have enough financial resources when he set out to launch the City Centre project. "I was depending on my grit, reputation and honesty and I eventually succeeded," he pointed out.
Responding to questions, he said regular saving was a good habit and people must learn to keep some money aside instead of spending hugely on luxury.
Qatarsucks.com comments: It is widely known that Qataris are the least productive and problematic employees in Qatar. They basically just show up to work, sometimes, and do nothing to contribute whatsoever. You can identify these morons and avoid them by looking out for men with big white bed sheets wrapped around their bodies. These so called men also have a mobile phone ear piece hanging out of one ear. Yeah, those are the people who think their shit doesn't stink and are big babies who are entitled to anything they want including a high paying job. The problem is that employers don't want them...gee I wonder why???

The World Needs 2 Know
As Americans working in Qatar for an American company "DYNCORP", we foolishly thought we would be treated fairly in Qatari Court. We were wrong. 2 years and 18,000dollars later ,Dyncorp has submitted documents with my signature forged on them , openly bribed the Qatari Court, and even after our American hand writing expert proved the forgery we still lost. The Qatari judge got paid. Our Arab Lawyers also took money from Dyncorp. The Qataris do not enforce there own laws. Hypocrites ! Lazy, ignorant and arrogant.

wow i worked for that company to i know what you mean that pm. gonzales guy he is a theif!!!!! sorry about your outcome..karma is mf what goes around comes around!!!!!
not a place for singles i think
yeah, I was over there...it can get lonely...so keep that in mind....good if you have family and kids and are on a good package!
take the money and run
the expat attitude over there is-take the money and run
I don't think much will change...they are too set in their ways...but individually....I think they hate this...but they cannot do anything about it......unless the "king" changes their rules and regulations....
It is the same in any country....the problem lies with the people that have the power to change things-and this power lies with the Emir.....however, I think they may be sacred to change coz of Saudia A..they want to keep on the good side of them??....
TRUST is an important thing in the Middle East........trust them individually........but as a whole.......I am sorry but coz of their ways........i am not sure if we can???
Qataris and Expats.
During my time spent in Qatar, I observed behaviour and attitudes from the expats and the Qataris. It was disappointing not to see any social interaction between the Qataris and expat community-and this was probably due to the fact that at our parties we had alcolhol....but I don't understand why they didn't come along to our parties anyway? Why is this?
I also observed how a little expat girl had a birthday party and although she invited everyone in her area-some Qatari families chose not to send their daughter along to this party? Why was that?
And then, I often found that expats sat around and talked about Qataris behind their backs, whilst sipping a drink or two....why was that?
There is no doubt that our cultures are different...but doesn't god want everyone to live in harmony together-like brother and sister? Isn't that what the bible or Koran says? I know the Qataris are not evil people...but they should not be afraid of socialising with the west. Why is it such a "bad" thing if they did?
The Qataris that I met were always very helpful....and I cannot say that I do not like them....but I would like to hope that in the future that we all see that we are all part of nature....that nature is within us...like brothers and a sisters-living together as one.
I lived there for a while
I am Palestinian and I will approach this from a personal perspective... well all Persian/Arab Gulf countries are bunch of fucking pricks arrogant sons of bitches and I can not wait for the day that their oil runs out and ride camels again and live in tenets. ok well I am sorry I should not say all lets say most. I had to move to Qatar with my family when I was about to start middle school because we were kicked out of west bank... All I can remember is "fucking Palestinian, go back home, you come here to take our money and jobs, fucking son of the Palestinian woman, fucking foreigners"... fucking lazy ass mofos, the foreigners are the ones who built your country. I have seen my old man being disrespected by young Qatari guys in front of me. An American or an European come to their country they will give him 10 years renewable entry visa at the airport, but Arabs will have to apply and wait for months and most likely they wont get it. What can I say, they are rich yes, but they are negers, yes negers with slave mentality. I got deported because I whipped a guy from the royal family who disrespected my old man after hitting his car. And it felt good and if time goes back I will do it again and again and again. I see them here on campus in the US they are all nice and quite... In refugee camps there was a saying " The fagot will act like a man in his neighborhood"
I am from a western decent
I am from a western decent but would like to make a point here that not all qataris are bad its only the uneducated ones who no nothing but think they can be the next emmir are the ones who create this feeling of hate amongst the expats and qataris.Feel really sory to say but you guys cant even wash your own ass you need a maid for that also if you have four or five kids you have maids for each of them because you can't even raise your own kid so understanding other cultures is out of question for you guys i truly agree with the previous post by a qatari saying "you decide " that not all qataris are the same but sadly the good ones are verry few and they commamerates to less then 20% of the qatari population but what you guys need to understand is that oil and gas is not what you need to survive as these will get over one day look at iraq and kuwait what has happened to them now just imagine there is nothing that is grown in doha except ofcourse dates ... everything else is imported from other countries and people from those countries are in doha as well working in differnt fields and walks of life you can ask them to go back home and if they what will you do as they will get jobs back home with much lesser sallaries but atleast they will have basic necessities but what if the world decides to boycott qataris and stop rationing you guys what are you guys gonna do eat your money and drink your oil think about it its we who you need and not the other way so get your acts together and those 20% which i mentioned as educated try and educate the remaining 80% or else god bless you
You Decide
For years this site has been, to me, somewhat of an urban myth. Occasionally one would hear of it, but off-course due to our beloved QTel not be able to verify its existence, or more importantly the (and I choose this word very carefully) salient opinions and views expressed here.
First of all, let it be known that I am a Qatari; (dare I say this) a proud one in fact. However, I cannot disagree with many, but not most, of the negative attitudes which living in Qatar has instilled in the so-called "foreign expatriate population" or FEPs as I shall refer to them. The truth of matter is that the FEP IS in fact THE POPULATION since they constitute the majority. All Qataris are arrogant. That is unquestionable. Capping proof is the fact that even the educated amongst us, who concede to many of the vile, but non-the-less, true realities of what living in Qatar is like, remain proud.
Most foul actions have been well cited here, thanks in part to our behaviour to facilitate the necessity of this site! I disagree with the behaviour of many many Qataris. Other ill-mannered actions include, but are not limited to; forcing domestic helpers to sit at different tables at restaurants, not offering to buy them food thus rendering them helpless & hungry spectators, and my all-time favourite – lack of basic pleasant social phrases such as THANK YOU or YOU’RE WELCOME.
However, with time, I am of the opinion that FEPs also develop a similar if not identical attitude – in Qatar at least. In essence, FEPs true character is tarnished for the worse. My advice – lets all try to be nicer to one-another because, if ending up on the same middle-of-no-where patch of land is not enough evidence, we both need each other. We certainly need you more than you need us, especially Western FEPs, but we need each other.
BUT PLEASE DO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NOT ALL EVIL!!! I appreciate that most readers are already aware of this, but the site does cause one to imagine that the opinions expressed here reflect the behaviour of 99.99% of the Qatari population. Or am I just being oblivious to the fact that perhaps the hypothetical statistic does somewhat paint a representative picture? I do not know. On behalf of whatever minority I represent – we’re sorry.
a percentage estimate
I notice a number of posts accepting that a large percent of Qatari men do justify the existence of this website but not all. A percentage estimate of 99.9% may indeed seem pretty unreasonable but when I look back at my last two years working in Qatar I must have met approximately 50 Qataris personally in addition to seeing the day to day behaviour of the locals on the roads, shopping malls etc and I can honestly say I have never seen or met a nice Qatari man. Therefore I would conclude that 99.9% of the Qatari male population are unpleasent, arrogant and child-like. Because of Qatari nationals, only sheer desperation would ever take me back to Qatar such as not being able to gain employment in any other country in the world. For the remaining 0.1 % of the Qatari male population I feel sorry that the behaviour of your fellow country men tars you with a thick and unpleasent coating.
we have oil
we have oil you motherfucker and you should know that oil is like air and water, i.e. it is the fabric is all life.
if you don't like it, then go kiss your own indian ass.
