Complaining about things over a two hour lunch break *with a glass of wine
Sorted that for you
Works without wine too.
But not without whine.
It’s France, that’s non-negotiable.
But works with wine and without lunch as well.
It has to be in a parisian restaurant otherwise its only sparkly debate.
Sparkling*
A lot of people reckon the small glass of wine is necessary to help digest the ridiculously fatty food without absorbing the fat
See the French Paradox
I know this is a joke, but also I want to see how she is in 6 months. An interruption to your current monotony could be all it takes - once you settle back into routine, will you still be fixed?
Lots of walking to and from places throughout your day is super good for your physical and mental health, all else being equal. Afterall, we’re descended from nomads.
There’s a balance to be struck, I think most people myself included would benefit from more walking and standing but I remember reading that a study showed people who are on their feet all the time for work had more joint problems. Which isn’t surprising.
For sure, for sure. Neither extreme is good for you.
i would imagine it peters off after a while, hence why we have vacations.
You guys have vacations?
Of course, because a happy worker is a more productive worker.
Corporate America: “Why go through the trouble of keeping workers happy when we have such an abundance of drones for the meat grinder?”
Nah, travel is a sin imho
Yeah but France also has way more vacations.

There are better places than Paris for hiking…
Paris is a lovely walk-able city, though.
Too bad there are so many French people
Parisians, specifically. Paris isn’t all of France.
Literally the only drawback
Too bad there are so many French people
There are a bunch of right-wingers out there that would tell you (((they))) are working on that. That’s basically the heart of the whole “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory and I’ve seen a few specifically point to Paris as an example of it in action.
That’s completely subjective.
Depends on what you want to get out of your hike. Want historic sites and a café? Go hike an old city. Want mosquitos and beautiful open vistas? Go hike a mountain trail.
Well, i’m swiss and hiking is something you do on mountains to me. Visiting a city is taking a stroll.
Well, if you insist on technicality:
a long walk, especially in the country or wilderness:
So a long walk in an urban environment also qualifies. However, I agree that “hike” more commonly means a rural excursion.
That’s not hiking, that just happens in a day
Paris really is beautiful, I have seen many places as nice in Europe, but Paris stands out
She should go to Spain and take a nap after complaining during lunch. You reach a next level of consciousness
Does that 2 hours come out of your work day or do you have still stay 2 hours later? I don’t even use my 1 hour lunch break because not using it let’s me get off earlier.
Doesn’t come out of your hours so yes in practice you finish later and/or start earlier.
F that. I guess it’s nice if you need to go to a doctor or something but no way as a standard thing.
Yeah it’s pretty shit tbh, but also total weekly is 35h max, tons of vacations, etc etc etc. Also very dependant by workplace, depends if the boss is modern or old school, etc. Some people definitely enjoy the long mid-day break, also realistically if the bossman takes you out and orders a bunch of wine, expectations for the afternoon are gonna be low…
Also shit gets weird when you start going south, shops will close from 12:00 to 16:00, morning open at 10/11, it’s maniana maniana. Overall I would rate France not the best country to work in but it’s mostly because you then have to deal with not only French people but also French administration, and F that. Overall work conditions and benefits are good (salaries not so much). I personally GTFO of there and much enjoyed the faster pace where I live now but I’m kinda getting over it and the slower rhythm sounds more tempting now.
The question would be how did she get hired haha
