It's the same house that we moved out of to go to France(our house) so it's all good. We were renting it out while we were away.

What did you mean that she signed a contract to stay???

I meant that she isn't an expat anymore she is staying as a local. It's permanent for her. The contracts are much different. There are way less perks when you're a local vs an expat.

Sort:  

What perks do expats get? I'm surprised they don't encourage people to become locals 😲

It depends on the position really, but the standards are: house and utilities are paid for, bonuses on salary, moving allowance to furnish the house and car. Some people got their kids school paid for or other perks depending on the persons situation. Anyone below a manager generally gets 50 euros per day for a "per diam." That's a huge perk but my wife didn't get that because she is above manager. So that sucked.

Wow, they basically pay people to live there??? Why?

!PIZZA !ALIVE !LOL

@leaky20! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @wrestlingdesires. (2/10)

I guess it's the price a company has to pay for people to leave their homes, family and friends to go to a foreign country and fix shit Haha. Basically when one company buys another they often have to send people to the new company to get them on to the new systems and all that. It's often a complete shit show and there are a lot of long days and lots of overtime. So the employee is compensated for it. There are pro and cons for the situation.

Did you hear about the guy who threw his alarm clock while hosting a party?
He wanted to see if time flys while having fun.
