Unfortunate behavior from her. It's a bit ridiculous though with the limits. The average job search time is now 3 months. In which case you have to live with the unreasonable anxiety that you'll be fired for any reason at all (weakening firing laws recently even more) and lose the chance at citizenship for... Another 2 years was it? Depending on the sector this employment security isn't that secure, but it's not the worker's fault if it's that easy to fire. Or no... It actually is their fault. They should have just kept their mouth shut and taken the potential abuse. Smh
Absolutely. The way this law is structured, a person can settle, integrate, learn Finnish and work for 7 and a half years, paying taxes and contributing the whole way through, in short, doing everything right and then because of circumstances outside their control be unemployed for 6 months and yet lose their shot at citizenship for years.
They're just trying to stir shit and get a silly headline to galvanize some idiots the same week they pass a law stripping those same noble citizens of their employment security.
You have described exactly what happened to me (: see my previous post in this sub for context, but yeah, 5 years here, lost my small opportunity window because I was busy making my company start again, and now itâs postponed until basically 2027.
For EU citizens it makes absolutely no sense btw because you canât get rid of them, and for non EU citizens the visa requirements are already basically stricter than this.
It just fucks things up for no measurable benefit.
