    If only we were as badass as French people when protesting for workers rights, most other places are full of entitled bootlicking pussies who make memes about people who actually get out there and fight for their rights.

    stares at OP

      I respect the fucking shit out of the French willingness to strike, protest, and burn for their rights. I wish my country had a quarter of their fervor.

      That doesn’t mean I’m not going to tease them :)

    What I think is interesting is that we usually have pretty good scores in term of productivity despite having a lot of holidays and strikes.

    If anything it should be a testament to the idea that it’s ok to be against “too much work”. It’s not being lazy, it’s understanding that you work better when you are properly rested.

    At least that’s the way I see it. Don’t work more, work better.

      We work with a lot of teams from France and during July, guess what, nothing bad happens. Despite everyone acting like everyday is a crisis, it somehow is never a big deal

      The bosses need to chill and realize people enjoying life doesn’t mean everything else falls 8 months behind

      That’s ironic because I’m friends with a French person and they tell me France is one of the most bigoted countries in western Europe. Particularly towards women.

        Ah shit, we got got, they are onto us. He has THE friend that said we are all bigoted especially toward womans !

        Noooo!

        In all seriousness, having lived in France for 35 years and traveled extensively throughout Europe this is not AT ALL my experience.

        Religions has very little impact here and to my delight it seems like it’s on the downward trend.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_Europe?wprov=sfla1

        As you can see we are not a particularly religious country and I think it doesn’t play as much as in other countries in Europe.

        Also, we have fairly stricter than usual laws concerning religious displays in schools and other public spaces.

        At least I highly doubt we are one of the most bigoted country considering our laws concerning religions and considering the rather low rate of religious people here.

      I love the French and how they respond to any infringement on their rights, that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna make jokes XD

        On another meme I saw the response (dont forget to do the french accent in your head)

        typical anglo’s, as afraid of culture as they are of seasoning

        I liked that

    Never understood why repeating the last word from the top text at the bottom is done in some memes.

      The french have a strong history of not taking shit when it comes to infringement on their rights as workers. This is joking about that
