Bonjour Laziness By Corinne Meier

Those who admire the French disdain for 24/7 corporate toil have to admit that the Gallic social model can fall down on the humour front. So a warm salut for Maier's droll diatribe on the idiocies of office life - a comic hit that got her fired from a utility giant. Her witty proof that "There is no va-va-voom in business" calls on not just Foucault but Dilbert to make a sassy slacker's manual.
