I live right here and also have family in the industry and I’ve never heard of this wine farm before.

Considering their business practises I’m not at all surprised.

They're very expensive, had an old colleague that worked there, also worked herself half to death, but never had a bad word to say about them.

And yet despite all this rambling, I am still happy with my decision. There are countries where you can start up and run a proper business without fearing crazy laws, crazy governments and crazy courts.
You think it's crazy that they weren't allowed to fire someone for being pregnant or taking sick leave? Even after discussing maternity leave with her?

Strawman. Discuss this guy's education. But that might be a bit difficult for you...
Looks like you are the one coming up with the strawman, why should I discuss the guy's education? It's not the subject of this thread.

He shouldn't have made the basic mistake with his education. But you would battle to realise that. Not your fault.
