Hopefully all American employees get the same treatment as European employees, rather than hiring a bunch of US-entrenched management and having them go "well this is an American plant, so we don't have to give you a minimum number of vacation days, and we only need to wage gauge you a tiny bit less than other companies in this space int he US for you to feel like we're treating you well".
It's so easy to open a plant in the US and then let them run it like a US company instead of a good company.
(And sure, Lego has has its fair share of employer scandal, but nothing on the level of US worker exploitation. So far)
If you only look at salary, rather than "what you get to keep" based on total expenses, in turn based on factors like cost of living, cost of transport, cost of insurance, etc. etc., I have questions about your ability to budget. They money you get to keep, and what that buys you, is what matters, not the amount you start off with.
US software dev salaries are, way higher than European, even when subtracting "mandatory" payments usually paid through taxes in Europe, like child care, healthcare, pensions, maternity leave, housing costs (which to a degree is depressed due to property taxes).
Is there any way to find a company that has those kind of benefits in the US? Or are the market forces in the United States just too harsh to allow for such a company to exist?
