you’ve heard of “quiet quitting,” now I’d like to introduce you to the next level, The French Work Ethic:
- Do exactly what you’re paid for and nothing more
- Absolutely refuse to be available to contact when you’re off the clock
- Never prioritize work over your own health, wellbeing, or family because that would be insane, it’s just a job.
- Have a little glass of wine
- Take as long as you feel like for lunch
- Deeply understand that work doesn’t matter
- Make sure your boss knows they’re always your second priority
- If a company refuses to give you what you deserve, kidnap (bossnap) the ceo
- If the government tries to fuck workers over, go on strike, but because you’re doing it the French way, it’s closer to a riot
- Generally know that workers have a lot of power, especially if they stand together
#that first link reminded me that i once had an english oral exam (with a british teacher) that revolved around #reading a recent guardian article about bossnappings in france and debating whether or not #french workers kidnapping their employers was acceptable #and teen-me was like well our national opinion polls are in favour ! #
thanks for reminding me of this great moment
Edited to fix a buncha stuff
