Where to even begin... Let's see, if you speak german, dutch or an equally "rare" language, then you'll be treated like royalty. Here in Portugal you'll get a room for the ridiculously low amount of 50€/month, you get paid way above the average national wage and you can pretty much show up drunk or high to work and no one will bat an eye since you're too valuable an asset to lose. If you speak portuguese, english or Spanish, then you're just another resource to be burned through. You'll receive practically the minimum wage and you'll be squeezed for every drop of productivity you have, tirelessly and under constant threat of non-renewal (I worked there for 6 years, which was the most they managed to keep me in a legal loophole in which they could give me only temporary contracts, and they let me go as soon as portuguese law demanded that they give me a permanent contract). They care nothing for you as a person and effort is rarely rewarded.
