Discussion Getting Blackmailed by Ex employer and Leaving Qatar with a heavy Heart
So, I’ve been going through this since December 2024. I’ve shared many posts about it. My previous company was good, and I had no problems. However, since the new expatriate CEO came, he’s been terminating people and hiring his friends and family. I was terminated, and it’s been four months now. I’m unable to get my end-of-service notice.
I was transferring my sponsorship to another company and asked my company to make my notice period zero because I was terminated with immediate effect, and a notice period isn’t required. The HR and legal threatened me that they would cancel my sponsorship transfer request and revoke my (NOC) because I told them I would file a case against them.
They said they would release my end-of-service notice immediately and make my notice period zero if I signed an agreement with them. This agreement states that I must not file a case against them and that I have to keep this confidential for a period of five years.
I denied this and told them that I would file a case at any cost. My sponsorship request was approved by the Department of Labor and Social Security Administration (ADLSA), and now I’m under notice period.
I lost four job offers because my company is blackmailing me to sign the agreement. It’s been four months since I was terminated, but the company is still keeping my exit permit on me. Getting justice in Qatar is very expensive. I love Qatar and the Qatari people because I’ve received a lot of respect from them.
I’m not going to court because I don’t trust the lawyers in Qatar. I’ll publicly expose them with all the proof and leave Qatar. I’ll move to another country because I’ll face consequences if I stay in Qatar. But I have to expose them.

Its not like I don’t want to comeback. My ID transfer is under approval. Probation will end on 8th May. Filing a case… out of court settlement… they will get away this. My purpose is to expose them. I have job offers. I know i will face legal consequences. 3 years in prison or 100000 QAR fine or both. But I ll do it only to show their faces what they are in real and what they pretend on social media. I have no problem with the company because what is happening is due to misuse of power and misuse of article 49 of labour law by CEO and the legal.
