French civil servant rapped over tell-all book

A FRENCH civil servant, who wrote a book portraying her colleagues as slackers who hold long meetings without ever coming to a decision, risks being suspended from her job.

The 30-year-old woman, who goes by the pen name Zoe Shepard, has been dubbed the “Bridget Jones” of the French public service after she released “Absolument Debordee” (Absolutely Snowed Under) in March this year.

The subtitle of the book is “How to work 35 hours . . . in one month”.
