Amazing, they have to notify about jobs in Thailand to Colorado employees?

Love it.

We're talking about a spreadsheet that is posted to an intranet. If someone in Colorado wants to apply for a Thailand based job and is willing to relocate for the position, then why shouldn't they know about it.

Of course, Thai employers can still discriminate on the basis of gender, sex, religion and a bunch of other things that Colorado employers can't.

And any company operating in Thailand has a local Thai company established, which would be the actual employer for the local employees. So the Colorado law would not apply.

Why not? When I worked at BT they did - a nice one or two year posting abroad on full ride expat status looks good on the CV.
BT has operations in Thailand?
All over the world, this was in Kuala Lumpur I did some rereading up on the country and decided to pass, I would have had to cut my hair short for one.

One of my co-workers did this but his asthma could not stand the humidity and he had to come back.
