Genesis--As I am sure you know, the problem is that many Qataris treat these posts as an entitlement programs/extension of the welfare state. I think it is a case of expats taking this positions away; rather it is a higher ranking Qatari manager who is frustrated with poor performance from his employees. The article in the OP is using expats as a scapegoat for what are inherent problems in the work ethic of many Qataris.
Personally, I agree with constitutional protections granted to Qataris in the job market. Virtually every country with significant immigration preferences its own citizens by law for jobs in the public and private sector. Qatari law is not substantially different in this respect to what is found in the EU or US. In fact, it is far easier for a Qatari firm to higher an American than it is for a firm in the U.S. to higher a Qatari.
