we all came here for the higher $$ then we did back home.

so we have to leave something behind, not to take home ALL.

all contract awarded to foreign companies, i beleive have to fullfill the social responsibility of sib contract a certain % of the works to the LOCAL !!!!

if you cannot take it, leave it !!

Now the companies will deduct these amounts from the employees. what it will effect to company! nothing. It will only effect the employee or labors. I dont know, who will live in Qatar in coming future with this much increasing cost of living and unnecessary expenses without the proper increasing in Salary.

Not only that, a friend of mind have paid for 3mos business visa, but now they told her that, that no longer work,business visa for 3mos is effective only for 1mo. So she's so worried for her nephew who have not find a job and company to give sponsorship.

More added headache for those leaving or coming, but what to do???????

Just biiiiiiite it!
