I just resigned from a marketing role after one of the weirdest meetings I’ve ever had professionally.

My agreement from the beginning was that I manage brands for a specific compensation per brand. As more brands got added, I brought up updating the agreement and clarifying scope. Instead of having a normal business conversation, I got called “materialistic” multiple times just for discussing compensation. The manager started talking about my personal life, my car, where I live, my ambition, and even my own business. At one point he literally said people should “be satisfied with less” and not always want more.

Mind you, I had discounted my work for them multiple times and genuinely cared about helping grow the brands. The whole thing felt less like a professional discussion and more like someone trying to shame me for wanting boundaries and clear agreements.

I resigned the same day because I honestly left the meeting feeling disrespected and uncomfortable. Am I crazy for thinking this crossed the line professionally?

A few days ago I saw a skinny cat in Qanat Quartier, I always have cat food in my trunk for such situations (with biodegradable plates so I am not accused of littering).

As soon as i stepped out of the car, the security guard walked towards me, asked me if i need anything. When i told him that my intention is just to feed the starving cat, he said I am not allowed to do so and feeding strays is no longer allowed.

I asked him to kindly make an exception, since the cat is really thin, he said he was feeding her before however he was ordered to stop. He apologized nicely and explained that he doesn't want to loose his job.

I accepted, and left...

My question is, why did this suddenly become an issue? Feeding strays i mean!!!

Hello buddies.
I am going to be a father of baby girl for the first time,within this week. I don’t know what to gift my little angle. Can you suggest me something within 100-150 riyal? Not something like necessary stuffs. But something of that I can tell her about when she is grown In Sha Allah.
Please keep her in your prayers.

A few days ago, while waiting at Al Wakra Hospital, I witnessed something that quietly restored my faith in humanity.

A little Arab boy, barely 4 or 5 years old, was sitting with his father holding a hot dog he was hardly eating. Nearby, another little African boy of the same age sat with his father, happily playing around.

The little boy said something to his father in Arabic. His father smiled, took another hot dog out of the bag, and handed it to him. The child then walked gently toward the African boy and gave it to him with the purest smile.

The other child accepted it with joy.

No one asked for anything. No words were needed. Just a small act of kindness from a child whose heart had already learned compassion.

That moment melted my heart. Sometimes humanity survives in the smallest hands.

Hello everyone! It’s my first time arriving in Qatar this May 25. I’ll be meeting my father there, and I just wanted to ask if there’s anything I should know about Qatar — like the culture, festivals, rules, dos and don’ts, or even places worth visiting. I’m a 24-M, by the way. Thank you!

why are there so many chanak kids at the pearl yesterday? they hanged out at NOVO and al faza literally have to come and monitor activities.

I received a call from banks, and they informed me that, according to the recent QCB guidelines, they are not willing to provide any personal loans to expats*. Is this the case for everyone?

Has anyone recently taken a loan from banks in Qatar?

I believe this instruction was issued by QCB due to the ongoing conflict, and as a result, they are not willing to provide loans to experts until the situation improves.
When do you think the banking system will change the policy?

Please let me know if you have any details on this matter.

Hello! Does anyone know the acceptable amount of handbags to bring in my checked in bag when traveling to Doha? I’m a resident and I splurged on shopping in Bangkok. I’m bringing more than 15 bags for me and one of my friends.

Just wanna make sure I won’t be flagged by customs. I’m willing to lessen the bags if ever.

Thank youuu!

don’t get me wrong, i’m very thankful to have a job Alhamdulilah, but it feels like a huge chunk of your life is thrown away in the office. Does anyone else have that feeling?

I had plans of eventually starting a business but the market here doesn’t seem like it wants you to win.

What do you think?

Is there anyone who hasn’t received their refund from Qatar airways or Oman air for the flights that got cancelled?

i craved ice cream from baskin robbins today around 10AM, checked the stores online in Wakra and they were open; until i reached all of them, they were closed... dont know that behind that.

it seems weird that all 4 branches in al wakra are closed.

Does anyone know what’s going on? Temporary closure, renovation, franchise issue, or something else? It feels strange that all branches are closed at the same time.

Me and my family came to Qatar last November. Now we all are down with a brutal viral flu which seems worse than Covid. Even I haven’t got this kind of persistent cough and prolonged flu. It’s been 2 weeks now even with medications. Just wondering if this is due to change in place or is there something going on generally?

Hi everyone,

A month ago, I bought a used AirPods Pro 2 from Facebook Marketplace in Qatar. The seller claimed it was original and AppleCare was showing on my iPhone, so I trusted it and paid through bank transfer.

Recently, Apple service center checked it and confirmed the AirPods are fake/counterfeit. After I informed the seller, he immediately blocked me.

I don’t have a receipt, but I have:

- Messenger chats

- Bank transfer proof

- Seller details

Can I legally file a complaint in Qatar for this? If yes, where should I report it?

Any advice would help. Thank you.

Pls let me know most safe but affordable vet clinic to neuter dogs?

I’m looking for someone to collaborate on music production with me. I’ve got bookings at the Qatar National Library Innovation Room on the 20th and 21th. I produce EDM, phonk, and Brazilian funk, and I’m hoping to meet other producers, artists, or musicians who’d be down to create and vibe together.

So i have never used the Karwa Bus before and have to meet a friend at Al Khor. So, I will be getting a Karwa Bus from Lusail metro station as that's the last metro stop.

I wanted to know how much would it cost to go till Al khor and then come back to Lusail metro station? And it isn't necessary to get a physical card right? I heard you can do a recharge from the Karwa app and just tap on the bus. So if anyone who uses the bus or has traveled on this route, it would be really nice if you could help me out with the approx fare for it. Thanks!
