In the US most workers don’t have a contract and work is at will. So often they can change the terms of your employment and you’re free to leave at any time.
That’s crazy! My initial reaction was… But how do you know what your committing to, what your rights and responsibilities are etc… But after 2 seconds thinking about what I know about USA, it seems about right.
Yeah. Like, we have contract workers here, but they are generally for temporary jobs. And contract workers are generally the first to go if there are financial troubles for the company.
Is it in your contract that you’re remotely employed?

Ah thanks for the explanation.
I’m not on a contract. I’m a salaried employee.
Is this the US? Maybe it works differently for you guys. In the UK salaried employees still have contracts.
Edit: I just read the other comment that explains how it is different in the US
Yeah, weird isn’t it?
Wow, US really is different. Here, if you don’t have a contract, you don’t have a job. Don’t even show up for work before you have a signed contract.
