We wish them well! Are those greener pastures the vast majority of startups that fail? Or enormous agile, nimble enterprises I’ve heard so much about? Lying to others is one thing, but don’t lie to yourself. A vocal minority is best served by the status quo, and they’ll do fine as consultants.

Neither, I normally work for privately held companies with between 200-1000 employees and revenues between 500million and 1 billion per year
That seems to be the sweet spot to not get abused, either by management nor unions. Startups suck, Huge enterprises suck

In Europe I've worked for startups, I've worked for corporations. Everywhere I had the same situation: sick pay, vacations etc.
It's amazing that you assume that "getting abused" is the norm and you have to find yourself in some sweet spot to escape that.

To me, working anyone in the EU, under the EU laws would suck, I would be "abused" by the government instead of corporations in that case and would not no avenue of escape at all
Your assimilation of government abuse as not being abused does not magically change that
