Did you ask them about those parts before complaining on internet? What did they say?

I did ask them. They aaid they do not enforce any of these things.
When I asked them to change the contract so they are not enforceable they refused.
They refused any changes to the contract at all.
You're fair to ask but its also fine for them not to change. You could trust them and see if they hold their word that they're not enforced. TBH those things just sound like legalese to protect their ass.
Just like you won't perfectly hold your end of the contract, they won't enforce theirs.
Why are you defending scummy business practices? Are they paying you? Do you like it when shittu businesses do shitty things to normal people? Then why the fuck are you defending them?
Stop normalizing shitty behavior and instead be a part of the solution.
80k? As a contractor or an employee?
full time contract
Yeah but as an internal employee or as a contractor ? Those are very different statuses with enormously varying conditions.
internal
Uh. 80k is rather senior. Strange that they are playing you like that. Or 80k was never on the table. Hiring intermediaries are REALLY shit these days, especially those relying on LinkedIn. They straight up lie some. What country were you aiming for? It seems recare exists in half of Europe in a form or another.
I was applying within Germany
Damn. I’m not familiar with their specifics. Still generally we have strong worker protections this side and crap like this typically isn’t flying.
Some stuff is hard to get like full remote if you’re not within the country though. Asking my guys to work exceptionally on weekends I could see but they can totally tell me to fuck off without any sort of grudge.
It’s true that importing talent is hard though, it can take a while for the whole sponsorship file to be built.
I wish you good luck with the whole process. If you apply in Belgium next time I’ll be able to provide more insight.
I don't need visa sponsorship. It's just a bureaucratic process for changing the named employer on the blue card visa.
Their contract seemed barely legal...
There are even worse parts:
- Short notice home inspections
- 15 hours of overwork monthly without compensation
- Home office should be secured even against spouses
I wonder if I could sue for my many hours lost on this scam
Yeah I could NEVER ask for any of that. I’m in a critical infrastructure industry but not healthcare though.
You sure they are not bullshitting you instead of admitting they can’t proceed with you for some reason?
