I almost get a laugh whenever EU region people say that Americans are slaves to their jobs. Somehow they actually believe the BS that the EU labor laws are vastly superior for employees in every way.

What you're saying is true in many places in the EU. It's very sad.

Which places?

Nearly all countries in EU will allow companies to aggressively pursue violators of no-hire and no-solicit clauses. Do you know of anywhere in the EU where the courts automatically reject those types of contract clauses?

Confirming this to be complete fabrication in Germany.

Contract law is very simple in most of the EU. The most you can hope for here is non-disclosure.

Places with the simplest contract law tend to be the worst = whatever is on the contract is what happens. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say.

In Germany the law overwrites the contracts and many things are already defined in the law. I think that's what he's referring to, but I'm not sure.
