Wanna work for this woman?

This is hilarious. At first I thought it was a joke!

http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2002/...?oneclick=true


"A 30-year-old German businesswoman is leading a revolution against management gurus, insisting her staff wear uniforms and banning private phone calls and words such as "flexitime" and "team spirit".

Der Spiegel magazine called her "Germany's toughest woman boss" last week while other publications identified her as leading a "counter-revolution" in the workplace by championing a return to traditional German values of discipline, hard work and rigid punctuality.

Miss Mair, 30, who has been running her Cologne-based advertising and web design company for less than four years, has propelled herself into the limelight through the publication of a controversial new book, Schluss mit Lustig (End the Fun). In it she delivers a withering attack on what she sees as the American-inspired "enjoyable" approach to work that dominated Germany's now shattered internet-based industry during the mid-1990s...."

The French are far lazier than Americans when it comes to getting work done. They work far less hours than us and ask any company manager that's done business with them. They'll all tell you how terribly unreliable they are on their deadlines.

Re: Wanna work for this woman?

I'm sure she didn't use any flex time in preparing her book......

Its nice how she worked in it was 'American-inspired' things that hurt them. Considering U.S. employees put in the most hours http://archives.cnn.com/2001/CAREER/.../30/ilo.study/ I guess the problem is that they didn't follow our approach well enough.

That must be biased, i dont believe that. The Japanese work like all day, and they're way more productive

And most of the people in america putting in alot of overtime are immigrants lol I worked at a factory, pure asians taking all the overtime haha
