That’s suppose to be for “worker protection”. But the average senior enterprise CRUD developer[1], in the US makes more than many BigTech workers in the EU. I’ll take the tradeoff of more money over being laid off any day.
VC funding has also traditionally been lower because of regulations
I don't think Ericsson, Alcatel, Siemens, Nokia, etc failed due to EU regulations, though.
And regarding those protections, they're there for a reason and in terms of hardware it truly is a race to the bottom, hardware is only made in low cost of living places because workers can be abused at will.
For software I'd argue that it was the unified market in the US (and now China) that's the real deal breaker.
I realize that they’re for a reason. But if I know it’s harder to lay someone off of the business climate changes, I’m going to be a lot less likely to hire a lot of people.
I would much rather get an offer for $250K a year, get laid off in two years than not be able to get a job or even get a job for $100K a year and have job security.

[1] no offense intended. That’s what I was for decades and I still turn back into a an enterprise dev pumpkin if you take AWS away from me.
