used car salesmen

I was an ATC in Qatar and have a bad leaving story for your reference.I worked there for 6 years. At DEP minus 1 year they finally gave me a contract with the end of service bonus included as per the labor laws. They got me to sign and said they would give me a copy when the chairman had signed. That copy never appeared despite numerous requests. When I resigned I was called to the Vice Chairman's office and told they couldn't find my contract so there was no bonus but......if I stayed and signed a new contract [ which he had on the table] then the bonus would be payable. I explained I had signed a contract in Aussie and would be leaving. Which I did.
My guess.....the locals split up the 140k QR between them.
They are as slippery as used car salesmen.
PS and if you take court action you can't get the exit permit. They have you screwed.
