I live in Canada and something that has always been odd to me is how many american companies try to expand to other countries and fail, the most recent that I can remember is Target. I think the reason why they seem to fail is because the people in charge try to run the business like they do in america and workers in other countries won't take it, local governments have a more thorough regulatory system, or the government won't bail them out with subsidies. This has now being reflected in america where covid has awakened an understanding that things don't have to be this way and now american businesses are freaking out that their abusive practices are no longer working. Maybe it's obvious to everyone else but I thought that r/anitwork would appreciate this insight.
