Another scam is that the 1h lunch is not paid in most parts of Europe. Like in Switzerland it's not 42.5h week but actually 47.5h if you include the unpaid lunch. When I tell this to a British/Canadian/American they are kinda

What are the reasons to bring people to san fransisco in the first place and deal with immigration problems? Why can't startups just use a payroll provider like deel and have a semi-global team?
