The slogan hit the mark: “Tired of dying in silence! A Facebook page created just five days ago and already 1,800 requests to join the group (as of Mercreid January 20).

Jonathan Favreau alludes to these companies, like that of Mérignac, which provide collective catering for their employees. And this is not the first time that the comparison is put forward, experienced as an injustice.
