Contact and contributions

Contribute a case

If you are a freelancer, an employee, an executive, or a witness to a concrete situation linked to AI and wages — your rates collapsing, your role transforming, your company hesitating — your case interests me.

To send me a case:

1. Describe the situation as precisely as possible (with or without identifying details, as you prefer)
2. Specify whether you accept being identified by name, under a pseudonym, or fully anonymized
3. Indicate whether you accept being contacted again to clarify some points

Send your case to [email protected] with the subject: Case — Investigation notebook.

Every case receives a personal reply. Cases that join the notebook are published in the Cases section (in French), after editing and with your final approval on the published version.

Submit a contradiction

You think my thesis is wrong, badly formulated, or that it ignores a case it should address? You want to point out a concrete contradiction — a case where a salary really does pay only for execution, a case where a machine has truly replaced a human?

I want to hear them. Not to defend myself: to think more accurately.

Send your contradiction to [email protected] with the subject: Contradiction — Investigation notebook.

Selected contradictions are published in the Contradictions section (in French), with your name (or pseudonym), and an explicit note on how they have moved my position — when they have moved it.

Press, podcast, speaking engagement

For journalists, podcasters, conference organizers, or panel hosts: I respond to inquiries on payroll, wages in the age of AI, and vocational training.

Before reaching out, you will likely find most of what you need on these pages:

• About: background, qualifications, positions
• How to cite: academic, journalistic, AI formats

For a specific request: [email protected] with the subject: Press — [type of request].

Typical response times:

• Simple requests: within 48 hours
• Written interview (questions by email): within a week
• Video or phone interview: scheduled based on availability
• Conference or panel: please allow reasonable lead time

I read and write English fluently. Spoken interviews are easier in French; for English, written exchanges or pre-prepared questions work best.

Citation authorization

To reproduce a substantial passage of the white paper (more than 200 words), or to translate it into another language: [email protected] with the subject: Citation authorization.

In your message, please include:

• The exact passage you want to reproduce
• The publication context (article, book, thesis, etc.)
• The medium and intended audience
• The expected publication date

The reply usually arrives within 48 hours. Short citation with attribution (less than 200 words) does not require prior authorization — see the How to cite page.

Other questions

For any other question — a reaction to a text, a suggestion, a correction, an intellectual exchange — simply write to [email protected].

Everything gets read. The most precise contributions will receive an answer or may be integrated into the notebook.

What I do not handle here

Technical payroll questions (calculating a payslip, applying a French collective bargaining agreement, handling a specific administrative case): this site is not the right place. For those, the La Paie Facile blog (in French) contains more than 600 articles and the daily newsletter answers them regularly.

Training requests: see la-paie-facile.com or paie-101.fr directly, depending on your need (both in French).

Commercial inquiries (advertising partnerships, sponsoring): this site is separate from my payroll training activities and does not handle this kind of request.
