Angelo said Salary Raise ...

Hehehehe, very funny, we get a special allowance. Funny thing is, when you are sick / on-leave, you dont get this allowance. Also, an increase of 100 to 150 riyals every year in this allowance does nothing much towards the house rents or increasing cost of living in Qatar. What a hogwash.

Man, I could seriously use a decent increase in salary without the landlord hearing of it.


 

iissmarterthanu's picture

iissmarterthanu said blah blah blah ...

The only reason it's so high is because Qatar is loosing to many people and they are now playing catch-up with salary.

It’s unfortunate because my department already lost some very good people earlier this year because of salary.

The cheapness will never end.

This is just according to survey, I'm 14 years in my company even housing allowance my company can't give much more an increase, yak!

 

rjluba's picture

rjluba said pay rise????? ...

We just hope and pray that we will get that increase then... it's still depends on our company if they will follow such rules or otherwise the'll just give us 200qr? lol.... the best thing is expect the unexpected.
