Couple of years back, one of my colleague went to Toulouse,France for a project related work.
He was full of praise about the center when he returned.
It seems the work environment was very nice, there was free beer during lunch and people leave office early during weekdays and very early on friday. Here "early" implies 4pm and "very early" implies after lunch :)
Hearing all this, i concluded that the company is really wasting money over the employees in France!
Probably that isn't right. I think French are like that for a purpose.
France should never be related to hardworking, slogging people.
France should be a place for Perfumes, Fashion, Arts, Wine, Sports cars and ofcourse Lovely people!
After all, there should be a place to spend all the millionaire's money right !!
So it can be the place where people from all over the world come and spend their hard earned or inherited wealth, like how Swiss is for bank deposits.
And this is the better way to improve french economy instead of getting the french to work, like how a minister is trying to do as the article says.
Infact already, France has all the required qualifications and is also one of the top tourist destinations. There will never be a big competition from other countries.
So probably, the minister should start thinking in this direction instead of trying to improve the entrepreneurial instincts among the people! (Try to maximize upon one's strength than improve on one's weakness!!)
Nevertheless if they still want the work to be done, they can always outsource it to India ;)
Also when people slog,this is what happens :)

Its not just French who work effectively, you find the same work culture at other places too!
And of course, France is one of the best places to visit.. (a thing to be added in my things-to-do-before-i-die list ;-))
yes i feel this effectiveness ultimately boils down to population.
i mean, lesser the people more the productivity tends to be...due to effectiveness,automation or the mere act of getting things done.
btw, isn't time u wrote a post? ;)
probably about giving flowers to girls :)
no, its not abt the population.. its the evolution in a particular field. A group(be it humans or animals in general) gets better as it continues the activity, its like learning while doing..
So considering other nations being already developed n evolved ahead in time when compared to India, we see better culture there! :)
one really hopes so!
so we better come back and work here after India has evolved ;)
