A joule is an amount of energy. A watt is a measure of energy consumption over time (joules per second.) A kW/h is a therefore an amount of energy from a number of joules per second for an hour ... ... Which is a discrete quantity of joules - full circle! 10.4 trillion kW/h = 37440000000000000000 Joules or 37.44 EJ (exajoules)

That's hardly the socialist attitude you would expect from a French company! It goes to show, companies operate within employment laws, not with ideology. To put that another way around, companies alway look to do the bare minimum within the confines of the local laws.

McKinsey brought their wrecking ball through our company, they take a portion of the savings they introduce for their fees, so great incentive to cut, cut, cut. They were clueless as far as I could tell, Microsoft Copilot could have done it better. Really, the best people to dictate how you organise your departments is your own management team - outsiders can't offer better insights than you already have. If the board decide your management team are underperforming in structuring operations then they should change the management team, not pander to them with the idea that some external group can organise your business any better. 2 years of transition and then the re-hire program as soon as McKinsey left; what a ridiculous thing to put your company through! Management team that brought McKinsey in still at the helm, ho-hum.

If you have the money then buy a PC. If you can't stretch that far or don't want the complexity then buy a Sony PS. If you want most coverage then buy a PC and a Sony PS. I'm not sure whay people buy Xbox.
