    That’s legal? Can a contract be changed willy nilly in the US like that? In the EU it’s a least a month’s notice and in some EU countries even 3 months notice!

      Lmao, most workers in the US don’t have a contract at all. They’re under a system called “At Will Employment” that was part of breaking the Unions. They can quit at any time, but they can also be fired at any time, for nearly anything. (It can’t be discrimination, but it could be the color of the shirt you wore that day)

      So yeah the terms of your employment in the US can change at any time.

      Totally off topic but what is that “Anti Commercial AI thingy” that you have linked? Is it to prevent AI scraping?

        That’s precisely it. Maybe I should add a blurb about that 🤔 (for later)
