June 2nd, 2025 16:56The danger of pseudo-freelancing or false contracting (where you're essentially an employee but for reasons such as you being in Serbia and the company being a virtual Estonian entity, they can't/won't hire you directly) is that once you're sick, where any normal European person can take a 2 month sick leave and the employer can't do shit about it, is that you get to ask only for accommodations.
And when the owner/CEO/HR person has had enough of accommodating you, you're gone.
Because you really need to know, is that all these fancy content marketing, AI whatever, founder-led startups will not work with sick people. The moment you get any kind of serious affliction, you're out.
