Anyone else find the prospect of switching to a better job scary? (lemmy.ml)

I think it's that if the switching fails, I'll be left without any job and risk homelessness. And that the general narrative I hear is that "we should be grateful to have a job at all".

It’s illegal, unless the contract also says they are allowed to do that

It does not

Talk to an expert about it.

If talking to an expert involves money, can't afford it. Unless you mean like a gov labour bureau

There must be some kind of regulator or ombudsman. This sort of thing. Or maybe a local union?

If somebody is breaking the law to exploit you, there must be a legal way to report and stop that, and eventually get compensation money probably.
