US work contract and L1 visa

Salut Trinity

Tu sais, le marché du travail est beaucoup plus fluide qu'en Europe, en Amérique du Nord. On peut trouver et perdre un travail du jour au lendemain. C'est comme ça.
En revanche, si tu travailles bien, il n'y a pas de raison que ton patron perde son temps à te changer, à former quelqu'un d'autre, etc...

C'est juste une autre manière de fonctionner.

Hey Trinity,
Am also in the US, you can very easily get fired here and there is not much you can do...just like Olivier is saying...However there are a few things you can do to protect yourself:

What type of L1 do you have (L1A or L1B)?
With an  L1A, you can get a green card within 6 months, (2 to 5 years with an H1B)...once you have a green card you work wherever you want.

Also there are a few tricks when you get to the US to get a car, build your "credit history)...etc

Feel free to ask any question, I'be glad to help you

HI,
My husband & I moved to NY based on a job offer, 3 months later they cancelled the contract. They had offered him reviews, and promised payrises. He saved all his emails and managed to get some severance pay, not much but enough to pay the rent and tide us over until he got a new job.
I did meet someone who lost a job & then her visa ,so beware it can happen.

We decided that we would use the opportunity to get over here and take it from there...nearly a year later & we're still here.

Goodluck

Even if the contract stipulates immediate dismissal (they probably will not change it because it is a part of visa-regulations) ask in a separate letter for clarification whether you will receive a 1-2 month notice if you would get fired.

Whether you like it or not, I really don't think anyone will care...either you take it or leave it. That's how they view it. You would appear very arrogant as a brand new employee to make demands from the start.

And be PREPARED to work overtime without extra pay. Almost everyone does it. If you don't, don't move there. I used to spend about 2-3 hours every day in overtime without ever getting extra pay. You add that up after 10 years and see how much money they should owe you in European ways of looking at things...! It was expected of me to show 'dedication' to my work and is a standard expectation in the american work etos. A friend of mine sometimes work 6 hours overtime in one day without any severance pay.
