They are European citizens and have freedom of movement to work anywhere in the European bloc. No work visas are required.I don't understand French hiring or visa process. Nati and Phillip are both on work visas right. From what I gather SJ is supposed to hire French citizens first. Managing contractors and running a shatoo can't be that specific or specialized she can't hire a French citizen. Holding a camera can't either. So how is that working out with the visas?
Work away is not supported in France. Therefore, all the places who did have work away people now use their own. This was discussed a couple of threads ago.I find this to be extremely disturbing. Nati’s ‘we are not working with that platform anymore’ is certainly hiding the real reasons for that break-up, being SJ's contempt for their rules. Nati should be very aware SJ’s friends still refer to the current bunch as ‘her slaves’ and ‘her minions’. A new in-house volunteer program would mean the ultimate freedom for SJ to rewrite the rules and regulations, all in her own favour naturally.
SJ claims her ebegging has allowed her to create ‘jobs’. She should ask her bff Dana about that, who works for the local unemployment agency. Maybe she should also explain to her why she’s not hiring locally, including for the gardening and the construction work. She claims to be all in on French heritage and to speak the language fluently, yet she seems to have an expat like aversion of anything and anyone truly French and refuses to invest locally. That will not give her a long standing with the authorities.
Short answer, No.I know shatO is in remote rural France but are most of the locals bi-lingual? Mary Poppins does not appear to be or maybe she just doesn’t want to appear on camera.
