Sadly, that's the US for you. The corporate world can be a horror show and sympathetic HR is an oxymoron.

I hope you can get yourself out of this bind.

Still try to enjoy your Christmas if possible.

Showing once again that the Anti-American bias is in full swing this story has nothing to do with the US at all, and the US immigration system is not all that much different than other nations, it is just in the news more because the load on the US system is 100x more than other nations

It's my bad assuming the USA, but it's a fair assumption. USA and Canada have very similar labour systems -- as I said in my other response. The worker treatment in NA is very much different it seems.

In Western Europe, if a contract has been signed, it's very hard for an employer to do what OP suffered through.

it is different yes, the implication is "worse" which is very much open to debate.

He did say Canada.

My bad assuming the USA. Though at-will firing does not exist in Canada, the way the labor market is handled is very much the same. The spirit of my comment still stand.

Also my bad not being clear initially.

It does exist, since you can be fired for almost any reason during your "probation" period

> Sadly, that's the US for you.

Eat crow, mate.

Um what? The US is terrible in how employees are treated

Um What? have you actually worked in the US? I find alot of people in other nations often complain about the lack of US regulations with out understanding that most employers go far beyond what regulations require them.

I for one do not want the Federal Government controlling my employment, I dont want the federal government doing anything other than national defense.

So no I do not want EU employment laws here in the US.

I work in the US
