If those were US Sanofi scientists they know they could not get away with such grossly immature behaviir as shown in the picture because they are non unionized. If they tried that in my shop they would be greeted with pink slips when they came back into the building. In fact I wouldn't let them back in at all. I would sh*tcan the whole lot of them on the spot and do it with a smile on my face.
