Contract trap regarding remote work in Europe (lemmy.world)

I was applying for a senior backend engineer job in this european startup in the healthcare sector.

I passed through 4 rounds of 1 hour interviews. Everyone was telling me this company is remote first, nobody works at the office.

Contract type is as remote on linkedin.

The offer arrived, 80k euros. They are very reluctant in giving the contract to me so I can proceed with the bureaucracy regarding blue card and job change before 12 months.

The contract arrives and it's full of traps:

They can require work on weekends and holidays with no notice
There isn't a single mention to remote working on the contract
They can relocate me to any place with a 2 months notice
HR refused to add remote clause on the contract

To make it even worse, they were processing my emails through an undisclosed AI tool using chatgpt, in which I've sent my personal documents.

Avoid these traps like hellfire.

Company name is Recare.

Just quit and you're back where you started.

It depends on the country and what’s in the contract. You could be very behind where you started in specific scenarios.

So a country where you have to provide written notice of quitting, with a notice period of potentially months?

Yeah, a lot of companies will let you quit sooner, could even be in that contract for all we know, but you’ve signed a legal document. It’s not as simple as “just quit”.
