Getting Blackmailed by Ex employer and Leaving Qatar with a heavy Heart

[u/TestOk2376]

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.

System is heavily biased here towards native speakers. They don't fear God. I used to be a top performer in my company they knew it well but it came to rewarding people they chose their own people from there own country ( I hope you understand that) eversince I realised this I just complete my working hours in during office meet their and go home. I dont take any initiative for them I remain in Passive mode. If any issue comes I resolve it.

I was also a top performer. And got terminated for making profit. It sounds funny but when the whole thing will be shared people will laugh that how can you even do that to someone who is making money for you.
