In some countries layoffs like this are done as redundancies though, like in Sweden they have to declare a work shortage and cannot re-hire in the same roles (in Sweden) for a few months.

That said, internationally they'll be different subsidiaries so they can do whatever they want. We have global capitalist power but not global worker power.

Which is a tremendous advantage to the American worker, who would balk at global average compensation and quality of life.
