That's the whole point you're missing . Many , including myself many years ago moved to doha with several promises such as fast track and even some contractual terms . Throughout the years all of those were unilaterally destroyed even being mentioned by cliff the cliff "business as usual ".
The erosion of ethics, work conditions and T&C are like a rocket but facing the ground though .
Unfortunately the whole 2014 and later batches choose qr instead of other employers and moved to doha with families hoping to build a career but after years in the gig they just discovered was an extremely temporary job . As soon as you get there it gets harder to leave . Thankfully it's not my case but many friends are literally stuck in the moving sand , depressed but somehow happy that they family are doing well .
What people tell here for others to avoid the place (if you're not from the East side of the world )instead of leaving is the utmost courtesy that a fellow colleague could do for another one , so they don't have to deal with what those working there have to deal in daily basis ...
All the jobs in the middle east are a sort of slavery but not every "Mill Lord " beats you with the same intensity ...
