Maybe he is just trying to clean up the company's image, and this is one way that it can be cleaned up.

It has long been a standard joke for many years here in Doha that QR crew have a bad reputation, of partying, drinking, illicit goings on, and prostitution on the side, etc etc and all that that entails. Be it true or not.

You sign a contract accepting the job and all it includes. Maybe more people should read the small print.

Qatar has very strict laws about many things, in the end working and living by the countries laws is what everyone who accepts a job here has to realise. Yes drinking may be tollerated but thats just it it is tollerated, not necessarily accepted.

As for the staying out and about overnight maybe he is trying to clean up the image of easy boys and girls putting themselves about and preventing 'illicit relationships'.

I am not saying he is right or wrong with these regulations, but at the end of the day he is well within his right to run what is a multi billion dollar business the way he feels is best for the company.
