Re: Four Ways to Fire a Frenchman (none / 1)
My reply is: "why else would you want to fire someone anyways"?

You either fire an employee because you can't afford him (1), or because he doesn't do his job well (2), or because you can't stand the fact that he slept with your daughter (3). (4) is a non-issue, meant to manipulate the reader.

It's for the (3) that the CPE will be felt most ... and why we need to fight against it. As Jérôme pointed out, it's being increasingly resorted to by French companies, so with the CPE it'll all be (3): "I don't like your shoes" ... "You have bad breath" ... "What? You don't like rugby?"
