If you're working in France, this is the best thing for you as an employee : Les 35 heures!
The working hour was reduced from thirty-nine to thirty-five hours in France sometime in 2000.
This didn't mean all workers suddenly stopped an hour early every day. Companies negotiated with their employees and introduced policies to work it out. Some firms settled on 5 seven-hour working days, others gave a half-day off per week, or a day off every fortnight.
Try to phone an office in France on Friday afternoon, and you'll get the feeling of the thirty-five working hours in France :)
It seems the thirty-five working hours really work in France. Even the new law introduced by the government of Nicolas Sarkozy to revert to thirty-nine working hours is being met with resistance ... from employers.

owh, cela est bon.
kan bagus kalau kat tmpt kuncop keje pon less 35 hours, bleh gunakan masa tu untuk gi sopping, teeheehee....
tapi mesti ada sebabnya kan izan kenapa dorang begitu generous...
*hermm.. garuk dagu*
sebabnya nak kurangkan kadar pengangguran (sekitar 10%).
bila pekerja sedia ada dikurangkan masa bekerja, syarikat akan terpaksa menambah bilangan pekerja untuk cover masa kerja yang hilang tu.
so bertambah ramai orang dapat keje, kadar pengangguran pun berkurang.
syarikat pun dapat insentif dari kerajaan bila implement 35 working hour ni.
tapi kat france je la bole buat macam tu, tempat lain kat europe pun susah nak implement.
