The laws are so restrictive that you can't hire a full time employee without committing to employ them for life.

That is just utter BS.

Well, laws vary from country to country, but in Amsterdam we were forced to write a lucrative severance package into an employment agreement with our sales manager (something like 2-3 years severance), as lawyers told us that under the law in the Netherlands we would owe him that much anyways if we ever fired him.

This is for a guy managing an office that was a startup for both of us. For him it was heads, he wins, tails, he wins. We put up the money, and if it fails, we lose a bunch of money while he takes a huge paycheck and goes back to doing what he was doing before. Ever wonder why more companies don't take startup risks under restrictions like that? Wonder why they outsource good jobs to other countries?
