France may end 35 hour work weeks
 

Restricting hard workers didn't work. Color me shocked.

"In an interview with a French newspaper before becoming the nation's economy minister, Emmanuel Macron said he's open to loosening strict government regulations that enforce 35-hour work weeks.

France's economy has been stagnant for years, and any substantial boost to working hours could improve its competitiveness. The country registered zero growth in the second quarter and is struggling with high levels of unemployment"

it's more like 35 hours of being present at their workplace, the time they actually work is around 15 hours (so I was told by a french friend) ;)

It took them this long to work that out ??

this is what happends when you have friends, when you don't have friends, you have to work for the others.

because man was meant to be sitting at a desk for 85% of his life slaving away.

no, of course not.. that's only the successful ones that work that hard...

35hours, lol i can do that in 3,5 days :)

The French love have strikes, so this is surely good news for workers.

how about other brilliant idea of French government: 75 % tax for everyone earning more than 1 milion euros/year?

Good, 35 hour week is for lazy nations..

in this country some people work a lot for free for other people who are paid for next to no work

Who may these be?

those who are in place for a long time, the other are in internship

ah, typical rabble hating on higher ups who "do nothing"

didn't France lose 98% of it's foreign investors?

No they are here for something:
