If you live somewhere where this price is too expensive (south America or some SEA country for example) Josh offers to send him an email and he will give discount, if he agrees that it is fair. Edit: adding source for my claim. Go to the we

Making it a requirement for being hired is plain dumb. Even if the employee was doing a great job and getting along with everyone, the employer could be pissed that the employee wants to quit and deny that request… Addition: It is similar t

I did not move, but was let go at the end of my probationary period without prior notice. It was the time of the first corona shutdown and they could not really onboard me properly (at least from my perspective), so my performance suffered.

Thanks for the insight. It makes sense for small companies then to not offer paid parental leave, as they really cannot afford that most of the time (thinking of cafes, restaurants, small shops at the corner, etc.)

In the USA, the cost of paternity leave have to be fully paid by the company? I thought it would be paid by both together (government and employer) at least. My paternity leave was fully paid by the government, but it was capped. Moreover t
