Google illegally spied on workers before firing them, US labor board alleges

if it's worth anything, I'm NOT in the US, and I generally take the position that I don't even have a job until everything is signed (that is to say, sent to me, reviewed, signed, sent back and receipt acknowledged). That action would include resettlement compensation if inclusive, or at the very least I wouldn't consider seriously starting the mechanisation of moving cities until that point.

I'm pretty taken aback to learn how culturally common this behaviour seems to be in this context given the feedback...

before this thread I would have said it's a red-flag for a scam and walk away at that point...

It's the same slave contract everywhere, what's the difference when you sign it?

1) You're claiming it's the same contract everywhere, which is not true, so your second point is moot.

2) Even if it was true, the when would change it. If more people can preemptively compare contracts, the more they would change for the better.

I'd rather pick out a life jacket that fits me before I jump in the water, rather than whatever one is reachable when I'm already there.
