Where Am I Wearing?
Let your mind wonder
“Bossnappings” all the rage in France
Did your boss announce layoffs or pay cuts?
Want to do something about it?
You could always consider holding him hostage for 24-hrs like the French.
From the Guardian:
Over a hundred striking workers were last night holding a French executive hostage at a health products plant in the latest in a trend of “bossnappings”. Luc Rousselet, the French director of the US company 3M, had been held captive since arriving at the plant in Poithievers south of Paris for a visit on Tuesday. Staff took turns to guard him over 24 hours while demanding better severance packages for laid-off staff and better conditions for those remaining… Taking a boss hostage is becoming an increasingly common protest gesture in France.
