This week, we were genuinely horrified to discover a Reddit message recounting an expat's "trial day" ordeal at a nationwide German supermarket. An 8-hour, unpaid, break-free shift doing productive work, only to be rejected for a pre-known language reason, that didn't hinder their ability to fulfil the job criteria – it's not just bad form, it's despicable behaviour. Whether you're a start-up or a billion-dollar company, exploiting individuals for free labour is simply wrong. This kind of exploitation is unfortunately happening far too commonly to both newcomers in Germany, and those who've been here for years. Many people aren't fully aware of their rights - not even natives, so today's article dives into why 'free work' isn't legal, and crucially, how to avoid such entrapment. Don't get exploited, get smart! #ExpatLife #GermanyWorkRights #LabourLawGermany #ImmigrationGermany #FairWork #MigrateMate #KnowYourRights

Why can't a European city just use a major US AI for its public services? The answer involves a direct clash between EU data privacy laws like GDPR and US regulations, the danger of AIs trained on the 'digital noise' of the open internet, and the unacceptable liability risks for our public institutions. For sensitive areas like immigration, these risks are magnified, impacting vulnerable individuals and our digital sovereignty. In our new article, we break down these complexities in simple terms and explain why a purpose-built, Sovereign AI is the only path forward. Learn how MigrateMate is built on a vetted knowledge core to provide a secure, compliant, and intelligent solution for one of Europe's most critical challenges. #SovereignAI #DigitalSovereignty #AIforGood #ImmigrationTech #MadeInEurope #GDPR #AIAct #MigrateMate
