I live in the EU and the company I work at has been bought out by an american company. They now want me to sign a document that lets them transfer my personal data from my employer to the USA. They want my Name, full address and birthday. It says that they need this for some "compliance regulation" which includes the prevention of terrorism (the ol' classic). I feel uncomfortable giving them "explicit permission" to share this data even if it is done under "highest possible security measures" which, if they are not possible, might as well be none. I just started my apprenticeship, so they could fire me without providing a reason if I do not sign. Any help is well appreciated.
Nope. At least not in my country. There is 3 months "apprenticeship" where either employer or employee can terminate the contract without any reasoning. One hour you're employed, the other you are not. Is it because boss did not like your face? Could be and it still would be legal… So the same also applies to refusing to share info to US, no need to prove anything to anyone, you're just fired.
