Layoffs are back…but it’s A LOT harder to get laid off (or fired) in The Netherlands (Europe) compared to the USA...this is what a social safety net looks like.

In this video, I’ll talk about the differences between The Netherlands and USA including:

Layoff process (settlement/severance, Dutch rules)
Healthcare (USA vs. The Netherlands)
Unemployment benefits (USA vs. The Netherlands)
Visa situation for foreigners

Plus tips! Hope this helps and if you get laid off…know that you’re not alone and sending you my best wishes.
David

📌 Note: I talked to dozens of people who got laid off + legal professionals for research. I cannot speak about my own agreement for confidential reasons.
