Mandriva CEO: Employee Lawsuits Put Us Out of Business

Posted by timothy on from the cost-of-doing-business dept.

Julie188 writes: As you probably heard by now, Linux company Mandriva has finally, officially gone out of business. The CEO has opened up, telling his side of the story. He blames employee lawsuits after a layoff in 2013, the French labor laws and the courts. "Those court decisions forced the company to announce bankruptcy," he said.

    The buck does stop with the CEO. All of the bucks. Stop right in his bank account.

    > it's the fucking law that they have to pay severance

    Exactly! We are entitled to being paid for not working. That is what is morally right. Of course the Republicans are stupid and think you should be required to work for what you are paid. That is morally wrong, and it goes against the concept of basic income. That is the most right thing humanity has ever done, so the Republicans hate it. They hate it because they want us to die. That is the way of their kind. France is correct in demanding that employees that are not working be paid for nothing.
