Ahh so full relocation package for entire family and household, with infinite company housing in detached house. Yeah if you get this in Zurich or Vienna, sign in immediately. Then also fate of your family will depend on your line manager.

I haven't myself ever been relocated as a worker, but when my brother (while working for one of the US tech giants) was relocated he still had to pay rent & other expenses in the new city himself, the company just found them housing and paid for the cost of the relocation itself ("just", that's still a lot, but what you describe sounds more like what high-level government officials get).

  I was lucky once to be relocated like this with housing covered in small studio for the first few months, while being single. I know e.g. that Shell in Hague is beyond generous, including housing in detached house.

>Yeah if you get this in Zurich or Vienna, sign in immediately. Then also fate of your family will depend on your line manager. Exactly. Just like how Bitpanda and NXP used to relocate foreign workers and their families to Austria, then fire them when some shit hit the fan, leaving them to fend for themselves. Moving countries with your family, especially to ones where you have no connections/family/support network and don't speak the language, is incredibly risky unless you're very well off or very talented in a skill that's in high demand where you move. Like you said, you and your family are at the mercy of your line manager, at least for the fist few years till you get enough credit to qualify for social support and build a support network, so foreign workers tend to put up with way more overtime and unreasonable demands, because they don't want to risk loosing their jobs so soon after investing huge amounts of effort, time and money in relocating their families.
