    My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

    Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

    Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

    Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

    That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

      Lol I don’t understand. So when you get hired somewhere, you just shake hands and go to a desk and start working? You don’t sign any employment contract outlining role responsibilities, compensation, NDA, expectations, background check, bank deposit information, tax information, etc?

      I don’t believe you.

        Title, start date and time, job title is about all that’s on the “contract”.

        Rolls and responsabilities, not anything else, are not defined.

        To where?

        Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

        I’m fine, it’s not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.
