Lunchtime Links: The photographs that will make you want to work at PWC in Paris
PricewaterhouseCoopers has got a scene happening at its offices in Paris. According to Les Echos, it's opened a special space, called PWC-Cool where persons in its employment can hang out for a bit of luminothérapie (light therapy), yoga, or a simple session on a vibrating armchair.
There are photographs of this here.
Elsewhere in France, there are accusations that French banks haven't been doing what they were told in terms of EU bonus restraints, and the European Commission is apparently limbering up for a full investigation of all countries' adherence to its commandments.
