I love it when US companies meet Dutch labor laws.
Plus cue in the shock of US Employees, when they realize his court costs to sue his employer were less than 500 dollars.
For work related cases, if you are in a union, they will foot the bill in most cases.
Every company I worked for with foreign employees, hired (or more often acquired) knew the lay of the land.

Seems an appropriate word... "Insubordination is the act of willfully disobeying a lawful order of one's superior." Your boss is your superior, so disobeying what he asks of you is insubordination.
Your boss is just some other person. If he thinks he's superior to anyone else, he can fuck right off. He'll end up as worm food just like the rest of us.
Thankfully, in Europe, unions have harshly fought for somewhat fair employment laws and this relationship only applies to actual work and not the whimsies of your boss.

Unfortunately this is well within corporate “go away” money. They’ll gladly dish over 75k to get a threat off their books.

>Austria’s labor protections are fine When they're objectively worse than every other EU country, bordering on competing with the US, I can hardly call them "fine". >If you make rules around dismissals stricter then you greatly harm the ability for a company to hire in the first place. Please stop parroting the propaganda of the conservative party (ÖVP) who are bought and paid for by the business elite and would glad…
There is a lot I want to fix in Austria from bureaucracy to taxation of stock options and more. The employment law is very fine by me. If you think that you will get better wages if it’s harder to dismiss employees I have doubts. The main reason devs don’t earn enough in Austria is that it’s hard and expensive to have a business there and that the country is not appealing for employees. That means that the few good I…
Can this actually be enforced. It sounds like it’s a Dutch court v US entity where they were a contractor. If the company had a Dutch entity they wouldn’t make such obvious errors in judgement as they’d know the local laws
