Let me get this straight: You have been programming Java for years but you haven't saved any money. Being in a situation without any savings, you take the adventure and go to Portugal to sign a contract that you don't understand. The company you work for figures out you are not the person they are looking for, and fires you during your trial period (in which both parties can end the contract within a week, therefore it's called a trial period). I don't know you, so I can't really judge, but can you answer this question: Before blaming other people, have you looked into the mirror first and questioned how you ended up in this situation?

How do you know what the OP's situation is they may be paying off a huge college bill or had a medical emergency or have had to spend most of there income on just living. I suggest reading and reflecting on Matthew 7:3 updated for the down voters "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

You completely missed the point of the article. Yes, he acted naively, and assumed that the company that he was working for would act in good faith. Thats not the point. The point is that this is a terrible company that acted in bad faith, and took advantage of an admittedly naive person, and nobody in the developer community should ever trust Unbabel again because fuck them.
