US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day
First time accepted submitter M3.14 writes "In a letter addressed to French Industrial Renewal Minister, Maurice Taylor, chief executive of Titan, writes (French article with English letter) that it would be stupid to buy any factory in France since workers don't really work full time. He'd rather buy cheap factories in India and China instead and import tires back to France. He writes, 'They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three. I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!'"
Just like in the US they bitch about only getting 8 weeks vacation and 2 years for parental leave.
that's the lesson, if you think you're boss is gonna do you a favour for destroying your family life when his boss is screwing down on them to cut work force... well, you're gonna have a bad time
This is a joke. I am joking. Joke joke joke.
I guess it doesn't hurt the US provided your defense for the last 60 years?
I love Jesus, except for his foreign policy.
Actually we are asking people who benefit disproportionately to pay a [very] little extra for that privilege
They already pay a [very] lot extra, and don't get more roads or schools or fire protection than anyone else as a result.
15% of $100M still means they paid $15M. How much did you pay last year in taxes? Did you even pay income taxes last year, or do you count as one of the "47%-ers" (and don't give me that "waaaah, we still pay sales tax!" BS) leeching off the rest of us?
Yeah, I count as middle class and vote like a rich man - Because I can appreciate the ideal of "fairness". Making some people pay more for nothing ain't it.
