FROM AN EMAIL EXCHANGE

Get an employment contract. Use a lawyer.

I’ve heard some real horror stories about employers reneging, change of control, layoffs. firing, and all manner of disasters. I KNOW personally of one fellow who was in the air relo-ing his family internationally and the email came in “never mind”. He was royally screwed (only had a handshake). He was out eleven months; family had to go bunk in with her parents; lost a bundle. He’s my poster child for when people say they “can’t ask for a contract. it will look like i don’t trust them.” or “they don’t do contracts”. If not, why not?

We should make it a global executive demand!
