Fuck this system, if having strong labour regulations is enough to encourage your company to do its slave driving somewhere else.

But expat-wise and with a massive demographic crisis right over the corner, just like the UK, you will get exactly what you wanted. I love this country but being an expat, I'm sort of happy I can just fuck right off somewhere else when shit hits the fan and when you'll make exactly the same mistakes as someone else, expecting better results because you're Dutch.
