...functionaries, to have stability, work 35 hours a week, and not have much pressure. I think that is finished. It's dépassé. It is time to move on. Thibaud Boutin 26, graduate student in evolutionary biology, University of Paris South In France we need reform, especially on the bureaucratic level. There's a general sclerosis in the public sector, and it's no different in big companies. But this law isn't the answer.
