We will see. The EU is more employee-friendly than the US of course, but so far US corps are winning the war there.

My old employer did in Czechia - 2 day hybrid or move to Romania, Poland, or India.
Foreign Tech Companies get tax holidays from the Czech, Romanian, Polish, Bulgarian, Hungarian, etc governments if we invest $2-5mil in an office AND can prove that we have at least 15-20 employees working in that office, so we need to force employees in the office otherwise there's no point having a presence there.
The Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian workers are much less pushy about it as well.

I have to imagine employers will be using the global turn right to attack worker protections at every angle. I would be surprised if something wasn’t significantly clawed back over the next 10 years.
