Some may remember this excerpt from the post that kicked off this thread....
Another big kid to whom we can now say farewell is the oily and talentless squeaky voiced clot that masqueraded and a well informed and powerful ally to the CEO. He certainly kissed enough CEO posterior to be given the role but alas he overcooked it. Drunk on his own power and self importance he made enemies very very rapidly, particularly the CP B777. The 777 honcho is something of a guest artist in the corridor of power and is very much the court jester. Be very careful though for if you underestimate him you are in for a big surprise since he is very powerful and well connected (a nephew of the QCAA Chairman). Alas RN chose the wrong guy to tangle with and he was soon found wanting and got himself fired for impropriety with the recruitment process – namely hiring too many of his Brit friends.
Well believe it or not the A/CPT was publicly heard to say that the shiny new CPT will be none other than RN, Mr Squeaky Voice himself. There is nothing quite like Qatar Airways with its ability to fire people and then re-hire those that are the most useless and give them a promotion to boot. Clearly life in Jet2 and its Portacabin offices wouldn't have been good enough for this whinging clown as he would actually have had to work for a living there. Prima donna behaviour having no place in that blunt, no frills, 'get the job done and work all hours' type of outfit. Thus what better to do than to get back in touch with Akbar, promise him everything and stab all the other incumbents in the back, then hey presto you come back to Doha on more money and with an even better shiny new villa away from other pilot accommodation.
You pay a big price for this though - Akbar will own you even more and you will have to do all his dirty deeds and feed him with nothing but the best 'intelligence' (lies) on what is happening. Akbar has a long history of these re-hires, look at the snake that now manages Akbar's beloved Premium Terminal. He originally got fired, then rehired to look after Al Maha, spent all his time feeding lies about the PT manager not doing the job 'correctly' and in no time that person's position is made untenable, they resign and our friend gets the job.
The classic example of this is the A/EVP(HR). None other than Mr Useless himself. Originally he was GMHR but he got fired. -Right decision, he is useless. He was replaced by a professional (EVPHR) but after a few months when his new job clearly didn't work out he comes sneaking back and Akbar rehires him. Of course this is without consultation with the EVPHR who suddenly has to find him a role. He is now an SVP, with a new car and a villa in the smart end of town. Over the coming months he gets to work in undermining his boss and eventually is dealing with Akbar direct. Over time the EVPHR is isolated and loses credibility. The individual concerned is no push over and digs in hoping that good sense will prevail. Unfortunately normal corporate rules do not apply in QR (Akbar always believes the lies) and the EVPHR's position becomes completely untenable leaving no choice but to resign. Mr Useless does not get it all his own way though since his much more competent rival (the other SVP) is put in as A/EVPHR. However that is just temporary and after a short time Mr Useless is promoted back to where he started but only in an 'acting' capacity. What will it take to get rid of this creep?
Sorry about this digression from the rumour of Squeaky's return but it just exemplifies what a completely bonkers and corrupt outfit Qatar Airways really is. Does anybody have any info on the rumour that Akbar himself is/ has been under investigation over the summer? Alas it would be too good to be true.
