| > - Countries should want internally organised production, strong companies with own IP, not one-man "companies" producing IP to external entities. Of course it's great to have domestic tech giants (and, sadly, Europe as a whole isn't doing very well in this regard, for reasons that deserve a separate conversation), but these things are largely orthogonal to eachother. There is no reason why a domestic tech giant couldn't have local talents on contracts. Promising domestic start-ups, such as Tidio (mentioning them as they're from my home city) are doing that too. > - Those foreign companies will switch to other countries with better prices (Asia, Africa) any time if their programming scene improves Sure, but having people on employment contracts isn't going to protect you against it. > Lot of people think they can invest better, create a better future pension for themselves. This is often true, and why would we want to allow exits, further eroding the whole system? There should be a base pension fund with everyone involved. And there is. I can't see why preventing people from investing into a better future pension for themselves (on the top of the state-provided minimum) would be a good idea. > To the government the company could be a 5 person shell, while it actually employs/pays salaries of 100s of families. Theoretically you could roll up the contracts, but that would be very complicated. The government has got a centralized system, National System of E-Invoices (or KSeF). It's a fairly fresh thing, but it's becoming obligatory this year. Meaning the taxman gets to see all the invoices without having to jump through any hoops. So even if you are contracting (instead of hiring) a hundred people, it is still transparent. |
