re: France strikes a blow for work-life balance

People, there is no right or wrong in one's personal work ethic. I think legislated rules are wrong. Everyone should do what makes them happy. If you like 80 hr work weeks, fine. It is your choice. The older I get, the more I value the time I have left. I regret the times I missed with my family when I was young, chasing a dollar(put a lot of them away). It is all about balance. The funny thing about it is, the more money you have, the less important it becomes. That being said, having it makes it easy to feel that way.
