Because a big tech company will think twice before opening o position in Europe and will consider not the impact of that position could bring, but how hard is to fire someone from that position. Some of the people targeted by the last year's lay-offs were still employed one year later and the company couldn't do anything for stupid legal reasons, like not already having a union to negotiate for 1 person. Being in a limbo for 1 year, not being able to do anything except quit and loose any potential layoff compensation package, but neither able to work for the company, nor interview and find a new job is horrible for everyone involved. US restarted hiring quickly after the layoffs, but EU has still a hiring freeze in several FAANGS.
