I think some of you may be missing the point.
If you leave and try to do the decent thing the Company will screw you and make your last three months extremely uncomfortable ( See Capt Krunch above).
If you do a runner you avoid all of the pain referred to above and have no painful admin to do. Even if you are bonded there would appear to be little that QA could do so long as you do not wish to go to another GCC operator.
Behave like a civilised and concientious individual, agree to disagree and ask to leave in 3 months as per your contract and they will treat you like a criminal.
This is the dark ages!
Be aware before you come here.
This is not Qatar Law or National policy. This is one sad little individual who is way out of his depth and believes that cracking a whip and acting in this way means that his staff will be compliant. Sadly, for him, those days are over and the Company is reaching the point where it cannot be run like a corner shop with staff who put up with ridiculous rules just to hang on to a job.
Huge sums and private lives are thrown away because of the pathetic attitude of this emotionally and psychologically challenged individual. Qatar Airways is poised to be a major carrier in the airline world and is undoubtedly the biggest player in terms of the international image of Qatar as a country. The present leader is totally inadequate as the head of such an important part of Qatar's International reputation and presence.
There are those who say that he is protected by friends in high places. This is hard to believe. The rulers and government of Qatar appear to conduct themselves with some dignity in international relations. It is hard to believe that they can feel that the actions and management style of the present incumbent can do anything to enhance the international reputation of the state of Qatar. It must be time to appoint an educated, cultured and dignified person to head Qatar Airways who can fulfill the role of CEO properly and represent the Country with honour!
