It’s Monday morning, with no emergencies on the horizon until the human resources manager calls. The information technology department is excited because Bob, the new software-applications wiz, has accepted the job offer and is ready to come onboard. Marketing has the press release almost complete, and facilities staff is measuring Bob’s office for a custom-made three-tier desk.
But, wait a minute. Right before hanging up, the HR manager says Bob hails from Canada and mentions something about immigration paperwork and work-permit transfer. Plus, his spouse really hit it off with the marketing office of the local grocery store chain and is eager to start working there upon arriving in Texas.
