To be fair, US working conditions are pretty bad compared to EU. Sure, Chinese conditions might be worse, but US conditions aren’t good to begin with.

  ??? Everyone I know in the EU gets like 4x more vacation than most people in Canada. And work 30-40% less hours weekly.

  What? EU has way better conditions than Canada

  To me, that is an absurd statement. Speaking as someone who has work in EU countries, the US, UK, and Australia, the EU was by far the best for “working conditions” (holiday, flexibility, benefits, overall working environment). I’ve never worked in Canada, I admit, but know people who have.

  I worked in both EU and Canada.. and no, lol, Canada does not have better working conditions. Less vacation, longer working hours, less ‘protection’ for employees vs employers.

To be fair, this is a company in the U.S and the people are working in the U.S so it is in fact - U.S working conditions, if you imported the company to the EU it would not be EU working conditions because those working. conditions would be illegal.

  OK evidently 2 people are unhappy to hear these conditions would be illegal in the EU and have downvoted.

US working conditions are better, in the sense that we get paid three times as much.

  In certain areas of the US maybe. I believe the average wage in the EU is actually higher than in the US. Need to look up the Source, which is hard because I'm on mobile right now.

  Salaries are only better for certain fields in the US though. If you are working in a grocery store in the US vs EU, you would be better off in EU. And you wouldn't have to worry about falling ill and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

  And lose that advantage the moment you need to go to the hospital.
