CRIZA IN SUA: PSIHOZA PIERDERII SERVICIULUI SI ORASELE FANTOMA [foto]

Americanii nu isi iau vacanta. Si nu din cauza banilor. Ci, asa cum arata cercetari facute asupra anului anterior, americanii se tem sa isi ia liber fiindu-le frica sa nu para mai putin dedicati fata de angajator. Fie ca nu isi folosesc timpul de concediu, fie ca vin la birou cand sunt bolnavi, cercetarile arata ca angajatii din SUA se tem sa lipseasca de la servici. In cercetarea recenta a firmei de consultanta Right Management, 70% dintre angajati au spus ca nu si-au folosit toate zilele de concediu la care erau indreptatiti in 2011. O alta cercetare a Jet Blue Airways a descoperit ca cei mai multi angajati isi lasa 11 zile din concediu nefolosite, sau circa 70% din timpul liber alocat.

Vicepresedintele Right Management, Michael Haid, a afirmat ca perceptia generala, in prezent, care domina organizatiile, pare sa privilegieze devotiunea/fidelitatea fata de servici prin excluderea a aproape orice altceva. “Fie ca aceasta cultura este reala sau imaginara, angajatii pun serviciul inaintea concediilor si chiar timpului destinat familiei”.

John de Graaf, director executiv la Take Back Your Time, o organizatie dedicata combaterii epidemiei muncii peste program, a supra-incarcarii cu sarcini si a lipsei de timp, a spus ca recesiunea recenta a amplificat ingrijorarea angajatilor ca daca nu sunt prezenti la birou ar fi perceputi ca si cum nu ar da totul pentru servici.

Arizona este statul american cu cele mai multe cu case nelocuite, comparativ cu orice altă zonă metropolitană în America, scrie Businessinsider.com. În Arizona preturile caselor au scăzut cu aproape 60% din 2006, mulţi proprietari părăsindu-şi locuinţele. Terenurile din jurul lor s-au transformat în terenuri agricole.

Chiar dacă piaţa imobiliară din Statele Unite dă semne uşoare de revenire, sunt slabe speranţe ca aceste case să fie ocupate prea curand. Aceeasi situaţie este şi în China, unde există 64 de milioane de locuinte părăsite. Acolo se găsesc autostrăzi care duc spre nicăieri, aeroporturi de unde nu decolează niciun avion.
