CEO 2 Frenchies: "Keep Your So-Called-Workers"

[Barefootsies]

PARIS (Reuters) - The CEO of a U.S. tire company has delivered a crushing summary of how some outsiders view France's work ethic in a letter saying he would have to be stupid to take over a factory whose staff only put in three hours work a day.

Titan International's Maurice "Morry" Taylor, who goes by "The Grizz" for his bear-like no-nonsense style, told France's left-wing industry minister in a letter published by Paris media that he had no interest in buying a doomed plant.

"The French workforce gets paid high wages but works only three hours. They get one hour for breaks and lunch, talk for three and work for three," Taylor wrote on February 8 in the letter in English addressed to the minister, Arnaud Montebourg.

"I told this to the French union workers to their faces. They told me that's the French way!" Taylor added in the letter, which was posted by business daily Les Echos on its website on Wednesday and which the ministry confirmed was genuine.
"How stupid do you think we are?" he asked at one point.

Taylor accused France of being at fault. "Titan is the one with the money and the talent to produce tires. What does the crazy union have? It has the French government."

Say all you want, but if they can make that many quality cakes in the boulangerie that are fucking excellent in 3 hours, then let em go home after "bossing" 3 hours

oh, and don't forget, it takes about 30 minutes just to kiss everyone each morning to say hello...
you Yanks know nothing - it's all about social interaction, not productivity :P

3hours, 6hours, 10hours...whatever...chinese 1$/day is always more profitable.

you cant get shit done in 3 hours. your barely getting started

[borked]

to put things in perspective here, this is the reply from the ministry to that guy:

And well, he's right - basically he's saying "Titan/Goodyear, who the fuck are you?" Many American companies invest and employ in France without problem. His industry, tire making is minsiscule comapred to eg Michelin, a world leader. How can Michelin be 20x bigger than his company with such a lazy workforce? And from no involvement from the government.

flame on.

"How stupid do you think we are?" he asked at one point.

"Titan is going to buy a Chinese tire company or an Indian one, pay less than one Euro per hour wage and ship all the tires France needs," he said. "You can keep the so-called workers."

This dick-head will replace his American workers with "a Chinese tire company or an Indian one, pay less than one Euro per hour wage and ship all the tires " that America needs too -- fuck him.
