        My dude, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. That’s me in fact.

        Even if I had a contract it wouldn’t matter as I live in a right to work state, they can fire me at any point without warning or cause.

        Having any real employment contract is NOT the norm here.

        Non office jobs are more likely to be unionized and this have a contract than office jobs.

        That’s the type of thing non W2 self employed contractors or union members might have to lean back on, not rank and file full time office employees.

            To where?

            Somewhere with a substantial pay reduction that does NOT want me there and likely requires I learn a new language in midlife.

            I’m fine, it’s not a hellscape here, there are problems everywhere.
