Every year, Sophie de Menthon, a French entrepreneur, holds an event called J’aime ma bofte (I love my firm) in Paris. The idea is to counter the notion that the French don’t like work. Employees are enticed to massage each other, vote for the nicest colleague, arrange for the accountant to swap jobs with the secretary to celebrate their firm.
The much-mocked campaign has not had much luck. In 2007 a national strike interrupted the festivities, and in 2009 a series of suicides at France T6lecom spoilt the atmosphere. This year employees showed less love for their botte than ever before.
A truer reflection of work attitudes came this summer when French workers covered office windows with huge pictures made up of Post-it notes. A few employers cracked down on the time-wasting, but most did not dare. Many outsiders conclude that French workers are simply lazy. " Absolument De-bor-dee!" (" Absolutely Snowed Under"), a book which came out last year, described how state employees compete to do nothing at work.
In fact studies suggest that the problem with French employees is less that they are work-shy, than that they are poorly managed. According to a report on national competitiveness by the World Economic Forum, the French rank and file has a much stronger work ethic than American, British or Dutch employees. They find great satisfaction in their work, but register profound discontent with the way their firms are run.
Two-fifths of employees actively dislike their firm’s top managers. France ranks last out of ten countries for workers’ opinion of company management, according to a report from 2007. Whereas two-thirds of American, British and German employees say they have friendly relations with their line manager, fewer than a third of French workers say the same.
If French work attitudes are out of the ordinary, French management methods are also unusual. As Thomas Philippon, a French economist, pointed out in " Le Capitalisme d’H6ritiers" , a 2007 book, too many big French companies rely on educational and governmental elites rather than promoting internally according to performance on the job. In the country’s many family firms, too, opportunity for promotion is limited for non-family members. This overall lack of upward mobility, argues Mr. Philippon, contributes largely to ordinary French cadres’ dissatisfaction with corporate life. A study of seven leading economies by TNS Sofres in 2007 showed that France is unique in that middle management as well as the lower-level workforce is largely disengaged from their companies. [br] It can be inferred that the event called J’aime ma botte is______many people.

细节题。由J’aime ma botte定位至首段,在指出该活动的组织形式之后,第二段首句中的much-mocked表明人们对此事的态度是冷嘲热讽的,故C符合文意。
