This is an illegal practice continuing by the employers. Though there are plenty of developmental projects in GCC, the mentality of employers have no developement. They are not supposed to do so. Feel like slaves when we are away from home - right? No Freedom!!!!

In the begining when i was changing my sponsorship i made a contract whith company in which it was mentioned that if company terminates me or i resign in both conditions company will provide me release do you think it is worth anything it is signed by my sponsor and me. And i am a local hire.

I think some companies do this here, but where I'm from you're taught never to let your passport out of your sight. I wont even leave it with hotel receptionists when they say they'll return it in an hour after they've photocopied it for their records.
