Lazy for a living
For all of you who are fluent in French, some great advice in a new book this week. Bonjour Paresse (translation: Hello Laziness), is a popular how-to manual on the other side of the channel, with excellent advice on ‘the art of doing the least work possible for your employer’.
Sadly, author Corinne Maier’s insights have not been appreciated by her employers, the French electricity board EDF, and she has been summoned to a disciplinary hearing.
Could it have been the chapter entitled Business Culture, My Arse, or The Morons Who Are Sitting Next To You?
Perhaps it was her advice that if you want to do as little as possible, do the most useless job: become a consultant. After all, Maier is a consultant to EDF, so she should know.
