What to do in the face of unemployment?

The protagonist, Mr. Davier, is a middle-level member of a paper company. He has been unemployed for three years, and his wife is also unemployed. Two children, a house. Currently relying on his wife to support the family by doing odd jobs seven days a week.

It is obvious that he is very anxious. This is somewhat in line with my current status, the epidemic situation, and the relationship with the industry.

Mr. Daville has been thinking of ways to re-employ without lowering the standards, and is still a middle-level manager. One can imagine how difficult it is. However, Mr. Daville is a clever ghost. He does not start with improving his internal strength. Instead, he forges the recruitment email address, collects the information of the applicants, selects the most threatening ones, and physically removes them one by one. He has not forgotten one thing, to clear the job candidates who are still very competent, artificially creating job vacancies.

This film is a question of options, that is, Daville's two insistences. The first insistence must find a middle-level management post. Second, we must insist on family integrity and happiness. So, what happens if you don't stick to these two options? The six victims showed one by one what would happen if otherwise...

The first one, there is no need to describe, the process is very hurried, as a practice. The only feature is that the person is very similar to Daville. The postman hurriedly checked the mail as soon as he arrived, which represented an overly anxious himself and killed him.

The second one was actually a mistake. The man was not unemployed. The paper-making company adjusted him from his original position to the manufacture of coated paper, but he didn't know it, so he started to apply for the job. But the family was in a mess. The adolescent daughter had an affair with the professor, and his wife was obviously anxious for a long time. If Daville continues to be unemployed, will his family be ruined?

The third is that the man is not obsessed with his old business, but a part-time job in a restaurant. He works four days a week, from 5 pm to midnight, thinking about some questions about the economic crisis. He said that now is a crazy crisis era. In the past In order to save food, the babies were thrown into the mountains, and the Eskimos threw the old people into the ice cave. Now, the unemployed are middle-aged people who are rich and powerful. This is madness. More elderly people should be allowed to die in the heat, cold and so on. This is a balance. We are willing to do everything just to get a job, but we cannot fight against capitalism.

The fourth person has the temperament of a leisurely cloud and wild crane, beekeeping, and buying green plants, representing naturalism that is uncontested in the world, living too leisurely, kill it.

Fifth, compared with myself, I looked very competitive. After following up, I found that unemployment made this person a poor man. In other words, he himself is not responsible for his life. He never goes shopping with his wife when he has a job, and he probably doesn't care much about the care of his children. So after he was unemployed, his wife decisively divorced and could only see his children once a week. Moreover, the willpower is the weakest. Daville is just a customer trying on clothes. In less than a minute, the man started complaining to Daville and cried. A fifty-year-old man, without dignity, was under strict supervision by the manager. The gap between the strangers and the customers cried. DaVille let this person go, and this person committed suicide in the end as well as DaVille's wish.

Sixth, the on-the-job manager of the target position. The professional performance is impeccable. Private life was messed up because of work. Because of working all day, his wife left him. He commented heavily on Daville’s experience, saying that Daville’s company moved to Romania in order to save costs, but the productivity of Romanian workers was three times lower than that of the French. The French are unemployed and no one consumes them. To whom do they sell their paper made in Romania or Poland? It will eventually destroy the French economy. He believes that the current problem is serious paper waste, so he has been recycling waste paper to make recycled paper. At the beginning of the film, Daville actually had this idea and plan many years ago, but his own Kamai company never implemented it until he was expelled. In the end, he killed the man and got the job he dreamed of. The family was harmonious and happy, and the police stopped looking for trouble.
