Slashdot Mirror
Vive La Loafing!
theodp writes "Bonjour Paresse, an anti-corporation slacker manifesto whose title translates as 'Hello Laziness,' has become a national best seller in France and made a countercultural heroine of its author, who encourages workers to adopt her strategy of calculated loafing in response to dimming prospects of success for rank-and-file employees. Could a translation find a Silicon Valley audience?"
Can't be bothered to RTFA, I've got too much slashdotting to do here at work before lunch rolls around.

Seriously, have these businesses considered a no loafing sign?
Imagine a beowulf cluster of people slacking off!
slashdot?
What is slashdot?
So her point I guess is a mental strike. Instead of fixing the rotting system from the inside by working harder and going nowhere, accelerate the rotting by doing nothing. Either they will have to give up on their socio-political HR poilicies and start basing promotion, hiring and firing on applicable indicators like skill or die by their own hand.
I'm suprised, France, that's very capitialistic of you. And here I thought you didn't swing that way.
The next remark is false. The previous remark is true.
Work HARD = Work SMART, not Work LONG
ALERT! DANGER WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! This person has uttered a Dilbert 'Pointy haired boss'-ism, and no humor or irony has been detected. Someone notify Cowboy Neil that a PHB has gained access to Slashdot, and pull the account, quick!
HA! I just wasted some of your bandwidth with a frivolous sig!
He/she has doubled their productivity by posting the same reply twice in a comment. We won't hear from 'havoc' for another three months now.

No it wouldn't. South Americans are light-weights when it comes to alcohol, and every country has its native un-identifiable clear spirit that sells for a song because there's no import tax. In Peru its "Pisco", in Chile its "Aguadiente" (They also have "Pisco" but they deny stealing it from the Peruvians), in Bolivia it doesn't even have a name but its 95% alcohol and tasts like rocket fuel. I don't remember what the Brazillian one is called, but they mix into with lemons into a Cahparinha, which is really yummy.
