Outlook is fine, but you can tell there is no real competition and they just haven’t really bothered putting any effort into it for years.

I would add that France is the 7th largest economy in the world. Germany 5th. South Korea 13th.

Working time matters much less than the slave-driving CEOs or workaholics would have you believe. 1 week vs 6 weeks off a year is like a 10% difference. That’s a pitiful variance compared to how much our productivity is affected by liking our job, being motivated, not being overworked, etc.
