I've lived/worked in both the USA and France, and this guy's comments are so transparently uninformed. To simplify things greatly: In France, there is more time off, but people are more sérieux while at work. In France, time off is taken outside of work, while in the US, time off is taken at work -- at the coffee machine, on reddit, chatting about banal stuff with coworkers, complaining about stuff (that's usually related to working too much)... On a different note, I've noticed numerous CEOs lately bringing up politics in reference to their work. The most common example is, "my company isn't doing as well as expected, and it's a certain politician's fault, not mine." Gotta love the personal responsibility, there. |

I never thought of it that way, but that is spot on. As an entrepreneur I used to wonder how people work 8 hour days behind a computer for $10 an hour. After a while I realized they don't.
