>Joining meetings at Seattle time (like 7-8pm CET),
In which country are you? We Europoors usually have labor laws to protect us from having to work so late. Where I live we have core working hours in our contract, 10:00 to 16:00, any work requests after that are voluntary for the employees. Is that not something you can use to push back on this?
- Bayart 4y agoLabour laws do not apply if you're freelancing, which you have to do most of the time for US companies.
- nivenkos 4y agoYeah, but good luck enforcing that with no trade union, nevermind if you're aiming for a promotion, etc. Like real worker power comes from having good economic conditions and strong trade unions - the American engineers have far more bargaining power, because they can easily get competing $150k-250k offers which are unimaginable in Europe.
