Why France is arguing about work, and the right to be lazy

- JPLeRouzic 4y ago> French workers actually on average these days put in a longer week (37 hours) than Germans (35 hours), and are nearly as productive per hour worked. At least a reasonable sentence, which describes well the reality of work in France. I guess the problem is actually that France is still a feudal society with many social classes. And soon it will erupt like a volcano in fury. What I mean is that in every French micro-society such as office work there are people who have the right diploma and who strongly despise those who have a slightly different diploma. For example there are four types of high school teachers, (professeurs certifiés, professeurs agrégés, professeurs contractuels, promotion interne) but you find the same phenomenon more or less everywhere. Contempt is everywhere "il y a les sangs bleu et les autres" Or as said a previous President "les sans dents". In many companies your salary depends on the school you attended and this criteria will not change all along your life, whatever your achievements. If you do not speak with the right accent and mannerism you will never be promoted. But everybody in the management will deny it exists. etc. etc. etc.
