All of those things are required by law and apply to local companies and subsidiaries of US tech giants in equal measure, so I'm not quite sure what your point is.
I, for one, would gladly exchange the current menagerie of dysfunctional local companies for FAANG subsidiaries. Microsoft pays some of the highest salaries here, doesn't need regular government bailouts and doesn't depend on rent-seeking to make its profit - which is more than I can say for many businesses here.

- renjimen 8y agoI don't think that salary is the driver in Europe that it is in America. People value their life outside of work to a greater degree, and there is less emphasis on getting rich. The thought of taking a job with twice the salary but a third of the vacation is pretty awful to me and most of my tech friends.
