Again, I cant speak specifically about Canada or Australia, as I've never been employed in those places, but I was previously a full time contractor that spent my time as a nomad over the course of several years, skipping across the globe and experiencing the culture of many places. But this is wildly offtopic for what the original thread was about, so I'll leave it alone. |

Look up at-will states like FL. "Florida is an at-will state, which means an employer may fire, demote, hire, promote and discipline employees for pretty much any reason, or no reason at all." Don't get me started on the crap companies pull to avoid overtime pay by declaring basically positions exempt from wage and overtime laws. The USA has the least strict employments laws of any of the developed nations, don't fool yourself.

I just let 200 people go in Kansas with near zero cost, doing the same in a few months in Ontario and it'll cost like $5K per employee.
Don't fret for the Kansas folks, they all found another job in about 4 seconds, massively saturated market which is why we needed out. |

I am genuinely curious which developed countries you are aware of that have more lax employment laws than the US does. I have worked as an expat in a few european countries and the difference is night day.

I have only visited those places, although some research into Belgium has actually taught me a lot this morning. Pretty damn interesting how the people there think and how the country runs compared to the US. From my limited research the laws seem similar to the us (at will contracts) with some extra liberties (good social welfare system so no reason for recourse by company or employee) which probably makes it a lot more lax in practice. Thanks.

Mumbai is extremely developed, which is where I was living. Not to mention the culture is amazing.
As for Turkey, its less developed than India (its also a lot smaller). But there are some "developed" cities such as Istanbul, or Izmir, which is where I was living. I've never been to another place in the world that had more history than Turkey, theres so much sight seeing to do, I'd love to go back someday. HOWEVER, being American, its not really the best time. I was cautioned regularly to stay away from crowds due to the possibility of terrorist attacks coming out of Syria. Theres actually places in the country where they will not allow you to travel as an American, mostly in the southeast part of the country. |

Based on some quick googling, it looks like India overall has roughly a 23% poverty rate. Where the US has about 15%, and Canada about 17%. Going across the pond, the poverty rate in the UK is at roughly the same as India.. As for Turkey, its not the Turkish government thats the problem. its the terrorists coming out of Syria/Iraq. |

Ask any family or friends if they can add you to a credit card that is (old) zero balance, a old trade line you linked to helps, I like discover they report to all 3 reporting agencies the first Friday of every month, attached to a old card adds points to Remind them they will keep the physical card, it's just a hack to share the credit |

From my perspective, which was mostly inside majorly developed cities, they were quite modern and "first world." The larger picture may alter that. Either way, the statement that "The USA has the least strict employments laws of any of the developed nations" was false to begin with. I was offering my own experiences to contradict that. I'm sure someone can google and find more examples of this. |

It depends on what you consider large. Even the smaller towns are pretty first world around here.

It's an illusion. Cats never smile.

Jeez, what’s the point of continuing to beat up on a guy who already said he made a mistake and is trying to correct it?

Either that or he's trying to perform a written version of Scottish martial arts. Which is basically headbutting and then kicking the guy when he's down. I can say this because I have Scottish roots. |
