Yeah, Germany is quite (in)famous for this.

I have seen quite a few times in my career large US tech corporations specifically choosing not to open a satellite EU sales office or a dev office in DE because of the horrendous labor laws.

Sure, very nice for the workers. But foreign money chooses to skip DE because of this.

Warm and comfy in a sinking ship, great!

If you asked them about it though, they'd say the labor laws were excellent and the American labor law is horrenous. It's about perspective, but let's face it - America is way more set up for innovation than any other Western country.
