What are some ways you’ve seen a company push someone out? I’ve seen PIPs, micro managing, reducing responsibilities….what are some things you’ve seen?

Slashing your schedule. They start cutting your hours and/or giving you the worst shifts until you "voluntarily" quit so they don't have to pay unemployment. Seen it happen to multiple people in retail. It's incredibly common and very deliberate.

That’s another one I’ve seen. Makes it pretty obvious, especially if that’s the only person it’s happening to

I’ve seen a whole group taken away from a manager and for them to be demoted to some BS position. I’ve also seen PIPs based on lies. Also, cutting someone through layoffs - another strategy to cut someone without directly telling the employee it was them.

Wow. The demotion is something I haven’t seen. I’ve seen PIPs for sure. I’ve seen layoffs done very sneakily, to entire groups

I've seen a company slash budgets so a department was essentially stalled. And then it was dismantled. It's fascinating how some organizations won't be upfront and simply let people go, they make a sport of making their life miserable until they quit in disgust.

Disgusting behavior. I’ve seen a version of this as well and it’s ended in a not so nice way

Everyone around the person makes it difficult to work by being a jerk to the person or simply ignoring them

Horrible. Just makes for a negative environment

I'm a SWE from Italy. Love my country but salary and taxes here are outrageous. Got 2yrs experience in fullstack and data science, 2masters, a peer reviewed paper and outperform all my peers for 24k€ a year.
I'm thinkin about landing a remote SWE job (leetcoding and building a portfolio this summer).
Have you got some advice? Is it possible to work for US remotely without visa? What other countries pay well? Is it possible to land a 100k$+ with this kind of experience and working from Italy?

UK market is open only for niche skillsets ( Data engineer + analytics). Firms aren't interested in sponsoring rest all skill sets, as they can be filled internally. They have limited quota every year, and are very choosy when it comes to allocation. Preference is first given to EU nationals and then Asians during shortlist stage.

Referral works, but the person who is referring you should have enough clout in the organization to present your profile!

I'm naturally feeling a bit weary of his character and questioning whether this is a friend I want to keep close in my life. Perhaps I'm being too judgmental?
