I can't wait for the next layoff where my newly hired star performers get laid off because some bureaucrat thought tenure was more important than job performance or whether they were working on an important project or not.

French style would be to hire most of your employees as contractors to avoid stricter labor laws lol.

I have seen exactly what you are talking about.

Some court cases in the US have said contractors with no autonomy get the same rights as employees, has anyone made that argument in France?

I guess that's a great thought experiment and would be interesting, but given the current stranglehold that corporate special interests have in washington I have my doubts about anything like that ever happening in our life times.
