At what was a surprise interface with the chairman of the Qatari Businessmen's Association (QBA), young citizens attending the conclusive ceremony of the Career Fair yesterday were severely critical of private companies for not providing them jobs.
There are big private businesses in the country literally with no Qatari employees at all. "This is not fair to us," said several participants during a question and answer session with Sheikh Faisal bin Qassem Al Thani, head of the QBA.
The plan for the meeting where Sheikh Faisal was to be the chief guest was kept a secret by the organizers until the last moment. After a barrage of questions, Sheikh Faisal broke the silence and told the audience he was willing to offer employment to fellow nationals provided they met the requirements.
“Things here have changed over the past decade. There are many big private players here and I don't think they can afford to hire people who don't have the necessary qualifications,” he said.
“We would prefer to employ locals since we are paying huge housing allowances to expatriate workers,” he said.
“You will have to soon begin preparing yourself to take up private employment as the government cannot accommodate all of you any more,” Sheikh Faisal stated.
Fellow citizens should seize the opportunities available and instead of trying for jobs should take to entrepreneurship, he said. "Over the past three decades only few nationals have successfully set up their own businesses," the QBA chairman lamented.
He said he didn't have enough financial resources when he set out to launch the City Centre project. "I was depending on my grit, reputation and honesty and I eventually succeeded," he pointed out.
Responding to questions, he said regular saving was a good habit and people must learn to keep some money aside instead of spending hugely on luxury.
Qatarsucks.com comments: It is widely known that Qataris are the least productive and problematic employees in Qatar. They basically just show up to work, sometimes, and do nothing to contribute whatsoever. You can identify these morons and avoid them by looking out for men with big white bed sheets wrapped around their bodies. These so called men also have a mobile phone ear piece hanging out of one ear. Yeah, those are the people who think their shit doesn't stink and are big babies who are entitled to anything they want including a high paying job. The problem is that employers don't want them...gee I wonder why???

Realy only in the Gulf
In my opinion its not fair that all arabs are clumped up into one group described as "lazy ass shit". When it comes to the arab gulf, yeah I totally agree. Qatari's in paticular are the most laziest jabba the Hut blobs to ever set foot on earth. They are lazy, uncaring, arogant and at times are proud how little they work. But there are non Arab Gulf arabs work like dogs to put food on the table. Im speaking as an American who has travled all over Arabia and have seen arabs who act like normal human biengs and contribute to society. So please dont clump all Arabs togethor, try to say, arab gulf or the arabic terms "khalijies". Thank you
qatar suks? YOYO
Don't generalize s some of them are good qataris, not all are bad. i am not an arab to be honest the relationship between my country and qatar is not good but i just want to say the truth some qataris are bad some are good.
some are lazy some work hard. some are stupid some are intelligent. yes some they expect to be paid alot which is dumb and work less. but again there some great people like the emirs wife look wat she is doing for the country look at the education she brought to the country she is trying to chage and educate heer people and the u have aljazeera which was the idea of a qatari so dont generalize
administrators please publish it thanks YOYO
I am a professional from the
I am a professional from the us, i have to say that its not the arabs so much as the indians that fuck up the work ethic and culture in the mideast. Dont get me wrong, many arabs are rude and very uncaring but on the other side many are good.
are you fucking crazy?
indians do the real work while the arabs are out there raping their innocent maids. you must be high on that dope you arabs like to smoke.
one day the oil will run
one day the oil will run out, the royal family will move to new york with all the money and the lazy aholes will go back to riding camels and thats that.....
when the oil runs out - correction
The royal family will not have money to live in new york. if they do, their lives will be in constant danger as qataris are not welcome in the western world.
Qataris are apparently
Qataris are apparently having the time of their lives driving around in expensive cars with all men, eating dinner with all men, being the laughing stock of the rest of the world, and just generally making fools of themselves. All of this while in the company of all men. Watching a Qatari adult male around a woman is akin to watching a 13 year old boy attempting to seduce his young, beautiful history teacher. Watching them attempt any kind of labor is even more embarrassing for the viewer. It would be funny if so many people were not getting abused by them...Childish, sad, pathetic slobs...
Simply no life.
im a qatari, and to be honest.. you guys are lame. i hear the aguments and sadly i cannot deny some of the things that happen here but no one said we live in a perfect world anyway. you get these stories everywhere.. rape, greed etc. but its being closed minded that just makes these situations worse. people if you dont want to be in qatar then dont, we never forced anyone to come here especially all these western and british people.. i have nothing against western cultures but if you feel so strongly about these problems its only logical to leave it behind or are you here for your own greedy needs? see my point.
have a good day.
Qatari
Hi there Qataris,
I am sure you will saz that if you don't like it, please leave. I agree with you wholeheartedly. But please remember, your country need the british, the western people. They find the system in Qatar sucks, which is reasonable. If your country wants to advance, then the only thing you need is manpower, HR, Human resources. Your emir knows that. Now, say for example, people don't come to Qatar, then your country is dead. No workers means no progress. People here are trying to be nice. They are telling your country that a country that depends so much on foreigners need to treat the foreigners better. That includes the Nepalis, Bangla, Paki and Indian. Oh, I forgot the Philipinos. Please. If they all leave at once, you have a ghost town in Doha. Nothing left. Just dead development and many happy Qataris in their Kemahs.
Think about this.
Reply to Simply no life.
I am from a Western culture and I am definitely here for my own greedy needs. Money or the promise of money is the only reason anyone is here. Do you think we are all here out of kindness to help a bunch of arrogant ungrateful assholes develop their shithole country? I can choose to leave whenever I want and I will as soon as I get what I want but most others can not. Your statement "If you dont want to be in qatar then dont" Is a statement that would only be made by an ignorant Qatari. Once your "slaves" from South Asian countries arrive their passports are taken away and more often than not they will be paid far less than what was promised to them. They have no passport and no money to go home. Most of them would leave as soon as possible if they were not kept here against their will. Qatar would be nothing (Is still nothing by civilized standards) if it did not exploit people from impoverished backgrounds. If it were not for oil and gas there would be no money here and no one would come to help the Lazy, uneducated Qatari's out of the stone age. Once the Oil and gas runs out the money will eventually will run out and everyone will leave. There will be nothing left but a bunch of arrogant, lazy Qatari's who will be incapable of getting anything done. Things in Qatar will revert back to what they were rather quickly. Future generations of Qatari's will pay for the sins of the present.
we have oil
we have oil you motherfucker and you should know that oil is like air and water, i.e. it is the fabric is all life.
if you don't like it, then go kiss your own indian ass.
You have oil, we have brain
You know, the only thing a fucking Qatari can say or repeatedly say is - we have the fucking oil. Yes, you have the fucking oil. But Allah bless you after it is over. KSA has oil for another 100 years (max), Qatar has gas for 60 - 70 years depending on the extraction. You know, in 100 years, your fucking area is just a piece of fucking desert with expensive houses which nobody wants to stay.
You have oil, that is why so many suckers are there. You have oil, that is why you can live like you do. You know something that is better than oil? Brain. I can almost guarantee, you guys have no brain (with a statistic like only less than 3% of your highschool graduates are able to even qualify for university, it is funny)
Also, you guys have no brain. You guys take things literally. Speed cameras are to deter accident. But guess what the fucking Qataris are doing with the speed cameras in Qatar? They make sure that you get fined even if you exceed the limit by 1 kmph. That is the stupidest implementation of speed cameras I have ever seen. You will cause more accidents because drivers are looking at their speedometer to make sure they don't exceed by 1 kmph.
Fuck the foreigners
You guys just come to Qatar to make a quick buck. No sense of ownership. Get the fuck out, especially the Western people - UK, US, Germans, bloody white people...
Fuck you and we don't need you, you bloody useless bastards.
