Discrimination on benefits and compensation

[Cacique10]

I am employ by a German company subsidiary in the USA, as a US citizen based employee I am employed at will. I am a full fledge card carrying employee with the same benefits of my german colleagues except that the US based employees are compensated and treated differently particularly in the termination of employent aspect.

If I get fire, that is it. If they get fired even with a US local package they go back to Germany where they can enjoy the job security that the average german worker has.

My german colleages can loose their US job but, by virtue of their previous german contract are allow by law to bo back to the holding company in Germany and get another job; in effect a lateral transfer if they can't then they get their german severance compensation package. Yes, they pay more social security but, why if we have the same job code and responsabilities, while in the USA they have a security blanket back in Germany.

Isn't this discriminatory? Because they are Germans they receive preferential treatment; most of these positions filled by German nationals in our US subsidiary could be perform by US local personal, more economically; yet they do not sponsor US candidates.

Discrimination -preferential and different treatment

As a US employee working in a German company USA subsidiary, I will be terminate shortly, yet none of my German colleagues with US local employment packages will be terminated. In addition to the US local package they have an outstanding german employment contract on hold back at home.

For my managment is easier to fire a US based local employee than a German although they have a "local" package tailored to their non-expatriate status.

Isn't this discrimination? My german colleagues are being protected because they are more difficult to terminate.

The German company isn't discriminating against anyone.
It is required by German law to do things for German nationals, that US law doesn't require them to do for US nationals.
There is no discrimination is what you describe in BOTH posts.
The German company is following German and US law, as applied to each country's citizens!
