Life in the Middle East VI & VII


It was June 1990 and the destination was in Doha, the Qatar. The objective is to work in one of the International Hotels in Doha. There were two hotels Sheraton in the Qatar and the destination is to work in one of them. The hotel was 19-storey building with a room on each floor. The first floor was the housekeeper accommodation managers and female of the hotel employees. No male employees are allowed to wander on this floor employee without valid reason/s. must be age 35 years, and before they are incurred. Employees have been recruited in various countries such as the India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Egypt, Philippines, Africa, Europe and other countries not mentioned will be a minority.

The majority of if male or female employees had joint or back to the House of family in their own country. Being separated with their families, was the most crucial test que never met by contract workers. For individuals who have come in the countries of the Middle East or Gulf for the first time, emotional struggle can be devastating. It was the main reason why hotel management has done everything they could to give employees as possible, more fun and activities. Hotel management has allocated a spacious Chamber housing for staff called "games room". There are tables for billiards, tennis table/set, backgammon, chess, board game of football and many others. There is also the land of basketball for those who want to play basketball and a field for those who wanted to play football or soccer.

There are activities as half of the employees of the hotel will be the duty and half will be going on a journey of a picnic on the beach with many different varieties of food and gambling activities and swimming. The calendar will be two days so that then the other half of the staff can also go for picnic. This picnic is the calendar when the hotel was little occupation. Apart from the creation of the playroom, outdoor activities, there was also the presentation of programs for each Department. With these employees programs were able to look at the creativity of their addition in the presentation. During the Eid Al-Fitr and Christmas, the employees had dinner sitting with their families invited to attend if they have their families in the Qatar. And then there's the raffle of the gifts given to the employees. Of these various activities, there will also be parts being initiated by the Director of the Department. This event is organized each year.

Outside of work, activities such as the capture of crabs at low tide had become a hobby for some employees. They can capture between 100 to 200 per day crabs. Qatar has a long stretch of beaches. There are activities such as part of barbecue/fish, swimming and tennis on the beach etc..

Activities deserts Safari was also fun activities. Tents for all types of purposes have been installed in a desert area. There are tent for food, tent chat and games, attempts to Arabic or the dance of the belly and others. The implementation for each tent were all style Arabic or ground. It was a fantastic experience for people who have no experience of the desert safari. These activities have contributed to the diminished emotional struggle or "Disease of the House" to be with their families or families for a year or two.

Contract workers are allowed to go home after two years or a year for the individual and on the management station. And whether the contract worker decided to return before the end of his contract, he or she had paid the ticket. And if he or she will return to work and then he or she paid the hotel for the ticket used when he arrived at the Qatar. Usually the person who will return will be those who cannot afford to be separated from their families or the husband. The only difficulty a married worker contract had was when he or she gets involved with another person that is when things get complicated.

As the Kuwait, the Qatar is also governed by Islamic laws. Obscene photos or film were strictly prohibited in the Qatar.
Qatar was a peaceful place to work, remain and live. If the person is good and that the employer has published a release, this person will be able to work at another company similar to the previous job. Usually if the company terminated the contract, the contract worker had to be returned to the country of origin. Most of the Qatar companies paid and sponsored by a company once, medical benefit was also free. There are at the Qatar families who have lived there for decades because of the peaceful life in the State. Contract employees love their jobs, the people whom they have interacted with, feel of the Qatar and more particularly the tranquility of the country itself.

News was that the hotel contract was awarded to another group of the hotel. Was asked to continue with the new group of hotel management of employees, and those who do not want to stay were free to go ahead.

A cleaning woman Executive transferred to sister company with only 7 available with 450 rooms servants room is hard work.
