It's a risk you take by leaving your continent and flying to another one without any permanent residence permit. It's really shit, but that's how it is. It's always been the case, it just makes now the news because it's Facebook.
As I mentioned above, an ex colleague of mine moved from South America to Europe without even speaking the country's language and he got fired shortly before the probation period. Same situation: visa, no job, etc. Actually he got kids and one of them even enrolled last minute at the kindergarten. He didn't write any blog or anything, he simply found another job the fastest he could find. But again, it's not Facebook, so of course it doesn't make the news.
The only thing I can wish for is of course that these people can find a job right away in the country they move to. At least this guy can say to the next employer "I made it to Facebook", which should still count for someting..., and he/she can even speak the language.

This is a catch 22 - a permanent residence permit is only obtained by living in the country. > It's really shit, but that's how it is. It's always been the case You entire argument seems to boil down to 'its okay for our companies to exploit foreigners because it's always been this way'. You don't actually provide any information or reasoning for why this is right and proper, or even nessesary.
- stevenhuang 4y ago> firing foreigners That's not what he said, where did you get this from? His entire point is that companies just fire people. That they were a citizen or working with a visa may not even have entered the decision making process.
- mk89 4y agoI have been a foreigner for a while now, so it would be against my own interests to wish for such things. In some EU countries you have a termination period of 2 weeks during probation. Maybe that's a compromise? It's not the best, but it has to be good for everyone (foreigners and not) otherwise it risks to create the opposite: companies not hiring foreigners without visa anymore.
