Being completely transparent, Martina and Richard were very nice and welcoming when I got there. Showed me the place around and even invited me a pizza which I really appreciated. However, my working hours, schedule and tasks weren't clear the first 4 days which led to issues over simple miscommunication…Although I always tried to face this situations respectfully, I didn't always feel the same intention in return. The experience profile stated 25h/week and 2 days off, but when I arrived I was told it would be 7-8 hours a day, 1 full day off and 2 half days off which came up to about 40h/week

Thank you for your feedback. We acknowledge that the schedule provided could exceed the 25h originally indicated and we will adjust this. However, Santiago never told us he considered the hours excessive, nor asked to discuss or reduce them. Had he done so, we would have adjusted them immediately. Instead, he decided to leave without any prior discussion, informing us the same day while we were away. We respect his decision, but communication must work both ways.
