( = métier) office━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━✎ Le mot anglais s'écrit avec - un- au début.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The term la fonction publique has great cultural significance in France, and covers a much broader range of activities than the English term « civil service ». There are almost three million « fonctionnaires » (also known as « agents de l'État ») in France. They include teachers, social services staff, post office workers and employees of the French rail service.Because this status theoretically guarantees total job security, « fonctionnaires » are sometimes stereotyped as being unfairly privileged compared to private sector employees. → CONCOURS* * *fɔ̃ksjɔ̃prendre ses fonctions, entrer en fonctions — to take up one's post
