This country is unbelieveable! A month and a half vacation for a new hire! What kind of crack are they smoking over there? Some Frenchy gets hired to work at a McDonalds flippin` hamburgers, and he gets a month and a half off! lol!
What you're seeing (the riots) are a manifestation of the "entitlement mentality".
Same as the "immigration protests" here. The illegals feel they're entitled to come here and "enjoy" the benefits.
Not only that...once someone is hired, you can't fire them. Even if they are performing poorly. In order to let someone go, you have to provide documentation to the court that your company is currently losing money in that employee's section.
