What's to argue? The idea seems to stand on its own merits from over here.
Soon enough it seems there will be no/little choice but to make the change.

As to the nitty gritty -- who can compete with the combined noise of the Tax Attorneys and CPA's,
let alone their clients, who will stand in opposition?

In Pittsflyer’s case, he doesn’t seem to have a job, so his risk is just limited to moving expenses. There is actually greater risk by being out of work.
You really need a contract if you are any kind of professional to make a major move. And if you have family support where you are burning money for s major move without a contract is a foolish move.

Read through post #149.

Do you think any of those great entrepreneurs had a contract?

You're making excuses here, justifying to yourself.



Boom = most people wiling to work hard and have a good attitude find work, but the 4% who consistently can't find work are usually pretending the problem isn't them when it is.
Because it’s not my business and I don’t need to put in ot to get the job done well. I work hard while I am there so I don’t have to work over. Does ot come up sometimes, sure but I don’t make a life style out of it or wear it like I am some kind of Medal of Honor recipient. Because it’s not, it is signaling that I wasted to much time during my normal hours.

There isent anything to justify as this situation is completely outside my control. I apply and that’s it.

Yet the cast majority of people do not have a contract. Millions of people have managed to move without family support, yet you can’t?

There is a difference between working and generating results. If you were in the private sector, you would understand.

Of course I don’t have a contract with myself as I develop a business. I am referring to taking a job far away from support systems, I don’t want to invest in moving expenses where I could show up and that sane week be laid off and out the moving expenses.

My LinkedIn account has all of my work samples, results are not my issue. I was a victim of a confluence of political events, multiple reorgs at the same time and contract cuts and very likely some opprotunist saw a chance to catch me in between contract protections because much of my work support network was forced out.

None of this was performance based.

Could be anything, but what ever it is it’s outside my control.

Wrong, “boom” as insinuated by media and trump admin means everyone is prospering not over half the people working McJobs or pseudo McJobs.

The true definition of boom is increase in gdp but that’s not how it’s being spun, because no one cares about increase in gdp if wages are stagnant.
