Imagine 'The Apprentice' in France
The French are doomed. Seriously. It's estimated that hundreds of thousands of students took to the streets to protest a change in France's labor laws.
The proposed change would allow companies to fire employees under age 26, without jumping through the usual hoops required. In France, it is all but impossible to fire an employee, even if they're not doing their job. In fact, one French worker (Corinne Maier) wrote a book about how she slacks off at work, and she STILL couldn't be fired.
Is it any wonder that there's a high unemployment rate in France? Once you hire someone, you're stuck with them for life. What company would take a risk on any potential new hire that doesn't have a spotless record and glowing recommendations?
By the way, watch the video. It may look familiar, except the French students seem to be waving communist flags.
If Donald Trump filmed a French version of The Apprentice, his tagline would have to be "You're incompetent. Go sit in your cube and do nothing for the rest of your life." It doesn't have quite the same ring, does it?

Wow, reading that I'm thinking: Office Space Sequel! Just imagine, walking around the office in your bathrobe and you could build a train set in your cube. The possiblities are endless!
