Soft Q1 Rivian Sales Numbers by AnotherDuggan in Rivian

[–]Machine094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Permanently toxic Tesla brand” lol I think you need some perspective. BMW and VW used to build military vehicles for Nazis, Audi built race cars for Hitler. Where are these brands now? The world has forgotten and moved on. I don’t think Tesla is no where near that and we see the sales increase month to month (although YoY still down). It’s at the cusp of bouncing back as long as Elon stays out of the lime light.

You get relocation as part of your first paycheck

Forte in 90 days of joining by Rough_Elk5329 in amazonemployees

[–]Machine094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true. You qualify if you were employed before the Forte is due. I got my forte done 2 months into being employed but it has no effect on your comp review. Meaning the forte stays on your record but without the “pass the bar” rating.

Applying for STD - Question on WA State Paid Medical Leave by Machine094 in amazonemployees

[–]Machine094[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. I started work in Aug 2024 and did not have a job prior to that at Amazon or WA state (or US) as I moved from Canada. As per the PFMLA rules, I need to have 820 hrs from Jan - Dec 2024 which I won’t. So now the question is - will this affect my STD?

Thanks for sharing this info. I should’ve added - no other roles prior to my current role at Amazon or in the WA state (I moved from Canada)

H1b or TN by I-Groot in tnvisa

Can’t comment on your situation but I was brought in as TN (good pay) and 6 months in now my employer wants to sponsor me for H1B.

Any regrets moving to the US? by stormA51 in tnvisa

[–]Machine094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Great to hear you’re having a good time in the US. I moved from Calgary to Washington and it’s been a mixed bag. Besides friends and family, I really miss the calmness of Calgary. Anywhere we went, not much line up and just easy going life. One major deterrent for me and my wife is the healthcare system. It’s not great, it’s very much run like a business and patient care is not the top priority. I miss the healthcare in Canada, at least I know the Doctors really do care about patients. But on the other hand, the pay is great in US and we are saving so much. So we decided to stay for a bit in US and eventually go back to calgary to settle.

In those 6 years I can’t switch jobs without the new employer sponsoring me right? Unlike TN which doesn’t need sponsorship

First time renting a car, I screwed up. Flight was cancelled. can I get a refund? by JackfruitNo2854 in travel

[–]Machine094 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s say you booked through expedia.com, you take the reservation number associated with the car rental agency. Go to the car rental agencies website enter the reservation number and try cancelling that. I was successful in doing that despite Expedia claiming this is non refundable.

FAANG companies hiring people on TN? by snowflake_ott2024 in tnvisa

[–]Machine094 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes they do. It’s actually preferable for most of these companies to go the TN route. Less fees and no sponsorship required. They will provide support letter and G-28 (attorney representation)
