Workaholics

Americans may think they work hard.........but according to a recent IPSOS studt, published by Reuters, American workers rank only fifth among the world’s biggest workaholics, using only 57% of their available vacation days.

The French take their vacations way more seriously, using 89% of their available vacation time (is that a surprise to anyone?). And on the other hand, the Japanese are actually the world’s biggest workaholics, using only 33% of available vacation days. (Source: Reuters/ipsos.)

France Figures Five Far From Fair

Rachida Dati is France’s Minister of Justice. She is 43-years-old. She is also a single mother who recently returned to work just five days after giving birth. Rather than congratulating her on being a conscientious public servant, French voters are condemning her for setting a bad example. France mandates sixteen weeks of maternity leave.
