Being an employee doesn't come with a contract you sign when you begin your employment? (Not facetious, genuine question. Every new job and promotion comes with one here.)
- actually_a_dog 5y agoNot typically, at least not in my experience as an IC. I have literally never signed anything that was a binding employment contract.
- exdsq 5y agoWhaaaaaaaat? Where are you based? I've had that for every role in the EU/UK
- actually_a_dog 5y agoSF Bay Area.
- exdsq 5y agoI’m there now too but still work for an EU startup. Weird to think there’s such a difference - I’d be freaked out leaving for something without a written agreement!
- actually_a_dog 5y agoDon't think I'm not, either.
- WalterBright 5y ago> I'm in the US and have always worked as an employee, not a contractor > my experience as an IC Seems to be a contradiction.
- actually_a_dog 5y agoEnlighten me.
- WalterBright 5y agoYou're working as a contractor or not?
- actually_a_dog 5y agoNo. That is what I have plainly written.
- WalterBright 5y agoWhat does IC mean to you?
- actually_a_dog 5y agoIndividual contributor. Again, sorry for the confusion.
