Guess what it is

Funny, I was talking to a friend last night. She works for a factory near here that is based in France...hence Frenchie execs etc. (This is in contrast to the tons of Japanese-based companies around here.) Anyway, this company shows no mercy. They will work weeks, even Sundays with no days off, 12 hour days, etc. She said they have said they think Americans are lazy. I'm like WHAT? They're French, they work like 30 hours a week over there. And, they're French! But they think we are lazy if we don't want to work a hundred hours in a week. Puh. Embrasse mon derriere, I say.
