Our independence is at stake.

I'm alone in the front line.

So follow me...

or leave.

We're with you, sir.

You're not alone.

We anticipated

the government regulations.

Change all that.

They won't dare regulate.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir?

Dittmar wants me to fire massively.

Yes, and?

What do you think about it?

Me, nothing.

You're the CEO...

It's your responsibility.

What's bothering you?

The Americans want me to fire people,

the French want me to fail,

my own execs are poised to stab me.

You gonna fire?

If I don't, I'll be fired.

Go back to teaching.

You get fired there, too.

Phenix is a ship:

I'll steer it well.

I'm looking for a way to do it...

To do what?

Cut staff without seeming

to fire people.

- Do like Mao.

- Who?

Mao Tse Tung!

In the cultural revolution.

he used the rank and file

to get rid of old timers.

I must pare the rank and file, too.

Easy.

Didn't you learn that at university?

It's called a social plan.

Bravo, sir.

It was great.

I fear the questionnaire may be...

This is very dangerous.

That's what I want,

something dangerous.

Your job is to make it a blessing.

Excuse us.

The unions are furious.

You're creating snitches.

Screw the unions!

Marc...

You can't fire 5,000 people like this.

Who said 5,000?

You're a hit with the staff.

especially the women.

send my speech to the media.

Words and images.

Who said 5,000?

With 7.000 layoffs,

our shares will move up from 12 to 18%.

At 10.000 to 26%. and

the shareholders' demands will be met.

I asked for this meeting

to settle my bonus.

My "layoff" bonus.

You're out of your mind!

Each layoff is a saving of

4,000 Euros a month.

I want the 13th month. Keep the others.

Let's say 3,000 per layoff.

A layoff bonus!

30 million for you.

It's extortion!

I didn't want these layoffs.

It's a lot of money for you, for you,

for you,

and for the stockholders.

But I must weather the storm.

It's short-term thinking.

I'm thinking of Phenix's social image.

And its future.

Your experts suggested 7,000.

It's better for public opinion.

The Minister advised moderation.

As a compromise, yes.

1/3 for those under 50.

173 plus 25% for those over 50.

Letters for your accounts.

One forgets numbers, not words.

Brunissage.

- My dough goes to a sunny place?

- A shady one.

And it comes back white as snow.

What do you think of the situation?

The timing's good.
