Or are there a lot of bosses who kind of treat contracts like a list of things that would happen in ideal circumstances, but in real...

The employment rules for working with these local-owned companies are 'loose' - meaning there are high risks involved. For example in one of the threads on this forum deals with someone who got b...

Unfortunately there are loads of local with more experienced than you who will take up any available positions first.
