I suspect a last minute rush the other way. Unemployment here is no good and many employers here like me are too scared to employ even when they need someone. So this year I took on a partner and the missus as employee instead of finding an employee, which in England I would prefer to have done. But not here. No way.
How do you know?
Makes sense. It's a much easier place to do business.
But I don't perpetually whine. I say good and bad things about France, you only say good things and then have a go at me when I say bad things but never give me a thumbs up when I say something positive about it. And that is odd. Maybe you are trying to convince people here that you are living the dream.
What a load of nonsense. Each country has its traditions habits and ways of life or would you prefer everybody around the world to have a sandwich and a packet of salt & vinagre crisps for lunch?
I'd prefer it if my business partner did!
Your pensions are a bit like our NHS. Both under threat and a great desire to protect them!
LOL
Yes....we went out for a lunch last week and he ordered a 30 euro plate of raw tuna, cut into a massive flower. He likes to celebrate a morning's work!
On 3/4 of your salary?
So say you were earning 40,000 euros gross annual salary in your last 6 months as a civil servant...at 60, you would get 30,000 euros per year for the rest of your life?
