The energy-intensive work has been suspended of course, but the
offices are still in operation, as you can infer. But are you
saying that the French, if there were any who made that decision,
can keep track of their staff after evacuating and doing the
opposite of what they say?
well, it seems to be the case.
There's a write up in today's ST ... about how some MNCs have
evacuated their expat staffs, but ironically, it's still
"business as usual" for their local offices.
Whether things are that bad on the ground over there, I suppose
only the people over there can answer, but what does it say, when
companies deem it serious enough, with all the radiation threat and
aftershocks and hardships, to evacuate expats, but the locals
are expected to be "business as usual" ? This particular bank was
mentioned as having evacuated it's expat staff too.
