Boycotting French companies simply because they are "French" is assinine. Let me tell you something about the French company I work for. We have 16,000 employees here in the United States. These 16,000 AMERICAN employees enjoy a $1,000,000,000 annual payroll. I spend my French paycheck on my American bills.
My French company gifted a $500,000 firetruck to the FDNY in the wake of 9/11. My French company matched employee contributions to the 9/11 fund 2-to-1, meaning my $100 donation turned into $300. The company match totalled over $1,000,000. A division of my French company was on the scene at Ground Zero - within hours of the collapse - handing out thousands of cases of bottled water to rescue workers.
Are we disgusted by the stand the French are taking with the War on Iraq? For many of us, Hell yes. Our US CEO even put that in writing. But I don't think that my employer - either those in France or those in the US - really had any say in the stance the French government is taking, do you?

Sounds like you work for an American company, not a French.
