Job Swapping, French Style

摘要

I work for a small consulting company i'll call "FactorE." We specialize in designing computer control systems to monitor and regulate factory operations. Last year we signed a new client, a European metallurgical consortium that was building twin factories— one in Toulouse, in the south of France, and one in the desert outside Las Vegas. Along with a French colleague, "Jean-Luc," I was assigned to implement all needed computer systems.
