Crossing Borders: Opening a US Company as a Foreign Entrepreneur

The farmer hooks us up with a sick crib and other lit perks like a fridge, TV, and radio. 

 The accommodation is totally chill for us and we're stoked about it. I believe it's totally possible to achieve goals against all the odds, but like, there might be some hiccups along the way and you can't expect to always come out on top against all those problems, ya know? Irena, like, totally tried to snag a council flat to shack up with her BF for the long haul, and she was all like: I applied for a council flat in my fave area that's hella close to my job but the wait times were mad long. OMG, like after waiting forever, I was finally assigned this spot in the city that's, like, not really popular and has, like, a lot of racism and anti-social stuff going on. Ugh, so not cool. I totally prioritized based on my hustle in that zone, but I heard the locals got mad preferences over us. I totally ghosted that application. Because like, all those rules, regulations, criteria, and favoritism were such major barriers that totally blocked us from achieving equality.

OMG, the personal stories of Jakub, Anastazja, Celina, Zoran, and Irena totally show how accommodation has been a major struggle for them. Like, it's been a big problem, you know? Jakub spilled the tea to me: Workplace problems be like: living conditions that straight up suck / accommodation that's hella trash, plus no water and no electricity. Smh. We live in a caravan site provided by the employer which offers us a hella bad experience cuz it's, like, super awful. There's like major dampness and zero heating and water, like ugh. When it rains, it's like drip-drip on the caravan floor 'cause the roof is hella whack. The employer ain't down to make any upgrades to the caravan crib situation. I asked Anastazja if she had dealt with any workplace drama, ya know? She was like: OMG, the caravan accommodation is so cramped and in, like, such a bad state of repairs. Its windows are totally smashed, fam. There's like mad condensation between the caravan windows, fam. OMG the toilet is straight up leaking from the base and tank, like what even?!  It's like, totally spilling water into the bowl, fam. We be complainin' 'bout everything, but like, no cap, no action be taken tho.

Celina spilled the tea on workplace drama:

We be doin' them low-wage gigs but there ain't no legit cheap crib for us. OMG our crib is so cramped cuz we're subletting rooms and sharing our personal space with mad peeps. This is how we save that cash and cut down on our expenses, fam. We're literally out here living like clout chasers, getting paid crumbs and not even copped a decent crib from our bosses. SMH. But like, we totally have the same entitlements to out-of work benefits as other EU Nationals, you know?

One of those interviewed who was also housed by their employers said she was not unhappy with the crib and other perks provided by the farmer. Alina's experience, like, can be a total mood to justify why she hadn't experienced any workplace problems, ya know? Alina spilled the tea: transitions and their complicated relationship with the service providers. Access to services can be like, hella shown by the services offered by the providers, you know? Like education, employment, health and welfare, housing and transport, fam. However, in this research, migrants' experience of major FOMO in accessing accommodation has like consistently been identified as hella problematic. OMG, like, migrants' hustle for cultural clout equality has, like, a major impact on how they feel super excluded when trying to access services. This is, like, a potentially lit factor for regulating migrants' right from cultural capital, ya know? This issue has been analyzed in the next theme, like, in hella detail. A legit accommo and work vibe lets employees flex and slay their jobs. A farmer gotta provide a lit and healthy crib for its workers, ya know? It's like, totally not cool and against the law to discriminate against someone when it comes to stuff like housing, renting, and all that jazz. Evidence from my interviews with migrant farm workers spilled the tea on the wounds they be dealing with from their struggles with janky housing and living conditions, ya feel me?

Access to affordable and lit accommodation was like one of the main concerns being experienced by migrants, fam. 

For migrant workers under SAWS scheme, the vibe is that they gonna get some lit accommodation from agencies and farmers. The officials from Work Permits UK (Home office) do checks to make sure SAWS operators and farmers/growers are meeting the clean and healthy accommodation requirements, you know? OMG, this study just confirms that so many migrant workers are stuck in like, super crappy and crowded housing that the Home Office and employment agencies don't even check out. It's like, not cool at all.Around two-thirds of those interviewed were given farm accommodation by their employers, fam. Eight peeps were flexin' in the private rented sector, fam. The majority of peeps living on farms were totally not vibing with the trashy condition of their digs, like, majorly dissatisfied, ya know? of accommo-dation, fam. OMG, like overcrowding and trash private accommodation were, like, such a mood for those who weren't housed by the farmers / employers. Around like two-thirds of those interviewed who lived in private accommodation were like totally not vibing with being housed in like super undesirable areas (figure 4.7). Figure 4.7 shows how stoked migrant farm workers were with the digs provided by farmers and private landlords. One of those peeps said they lived in a tiny crib and shared rooms with others to save mad cash.
