Offers of job in Canada and Australia welcomed with contempt by Angers Technicolor employees

The news, published on Tuesday in the Angers medias, looks to outrage editors. Though, what was disgraceful in the offers of redeployment sent to former employees of Angers Technicolor factory? These apply, not only to French sites of the group, but to foreign countries where Technicolor has subsidiaries : "Poland, Australia, Canada, Thaïland, Vietnam", writes a local daily newspaper adding three laconic points : "...". 

If such offers of job in foreign countries presuppose important changes in life for employees who would agreee, was it appropriate to title under the catcher "The sentence of the day" : the statement of a Technicolor employee : "I saw a job in Thaïland? Do you see me going there? For holidays, I'm ok".
Above the preposterous tune of the statement, that one looks completly wrong regarding the kind of life people may face in Canada and Australia which are Western countries and where unemployment is much more lower than in France : 7% in Canada at the end of 2011, 5% in Australia and 10% in France...

It is sure that, in simply mailing these offers by post, Technicolor only succeeded to disparage them (it would have been wiser to gather the employees first). On the other hand, these opinions, and moreover, their reproduction crossbred with contempt in newspapers, traduce maybe an ignorance about foreign reality and above all, an overestimation of the competitiveness of the social and economic French model.
