I'm British but living in Ireland at the moment and whose a economy is way down the toilet and will remain there for years to come.
I attended a jobs fair in Dublin a month ago and there were recruitment agencies pushing Qatar, stating Electricians earning €1200 per week, basic, working in and around the development for the world cup that would be totally/separate from Doha.
Stadiums, Rail Links, Airport and Accommodation. The Agency looking for trades said it would be 6 month contracts, living in compounds, with everything you needed but you could not leave the compound.
You would be bused to and from work and you would list your food that someone else would shop for. This Project is totally new and isolated from the rest of Qatar.
Therefore for your six month contract all you would see and experience of Qatar would be your work place and living accommodation inside the compound.
Are you familiar with this project or any Electricians working on it?
I thought Qatar would be good for work but with what I have read and particularly your reply I could never be involved with any of that kind of workmanship, I couldn't sleep at night's no matter what they paid.
I just don't know, especially with so many expats in Qatar that the media are not picking up on this more, especially after the nineteen people killed in fire at Qatar's Villagio Mall including Children.
I read in the Gulf News:
"The fire prompted a tweeting frenzy that caused widespread panic among Doha’s residents. However, the interior ministry said the fire had been controlled and shoppers evacuated."
"Firefighters and other security personnel are trying to clear the smoke and cool the place. Cooperate with the police and convey only the facts,"
"The Ministry Posted on its Facebook Account earlier in the day. "Everyone is Requested Not To Spread Rumors As It Will Create Panic Among People."
"Be responsible and cooperate with the security personnel"
In other words keep your opinions to yourself and your mouth shut.
Judging on your experience alone, just one property wired to those standards is a DEATH Trap.
