French are always complaining....

And it turn out...it's true.A study by FDS International found exactly that: French workers are the world's biggest whiners.In the same study, it appears Irish complain least about their lot.

Brits ( 37% feel they don’t get enough holidays, putting them at No.1 in the Holiday Whinge rankings) enjoy an average of 33.5 days annual leave and public holidays – but despite having less holidays (29), only 13 per cent of workers in Ireland whinge about their lack of holidays.

The report is called: What Workers Want: A Worldwide Study
of Attitudes to Work and Work-Life Balance (by FDS International)


The study findings are based on (amongst others):
- satisfaction with issues including pay levels.
- work-life balance.
- average working hours.
