Request to get it to apply for your driving license/UAE ID card/tourist visa's or anything, and simply never give it back.

My company is holding passports of all of the employees including the GM until they finish one year, as after that period you have earned your recruitments costs back or something

I did the above and so far so good.. Although I will just refuse to give it back in case they ask. Let them sack me, I'll find a better job.

no they give you back an colour copy with original on it, some local companies which are big and have lots of of labourers etc, will retain passports of every staff member, nowt you can do about it, unless you can use it for travel purposes, but of course that only works once you have worked for more than probation period etc (as you say) have to wait it out.
