But isn't France just a WONDERFUL socialist country ?:-)

Oh give it a break. First, you're in troll mode, and second it's not just France by any stretch.

And it isn't all that good -- in return for not being able to fire you, ever, employers tend to view job-changers with deep suspicion. Where in the US you can get a different job every two or three years* and be seen as a tad aggressive, in most of western Europe (AFAIK, I've only heard stories) changing jobs more than once or twice really brands you as not being a team player.

* Now, once every 9 months or a year is a definite danger signal.
