Men Over 60 Having Wet Dreams

The world interns

When I went to school I knew the stage (which by the way is not an English word, but French and is pronounced as such !) As a huge pain in the ass to do to learn something practical "field" related to what we were studying. The student became an intern. You were not paid, but was part of the course of study and lasted a week or two. Point.

Today things have changed. Companies can take ragazzi che diventeranno operai, al posto degli operai.

Prima di diventare operai precari si intende. In questa fase che dovrebbe essere transitoria si diventa appunto stagisti. Peccato che la fase transitoria duri dai tre mesi ai... non si sa quanti mesi.

Siamo in Italia. Lo stage è diventato una forma di sfruttamento della manodopera a costo zero o quasi. Le aziende assumono con contratti da fame uno stagista promettendogli che alla fine dello stage sarà assunto. Poi il giorno prima della scadenza guardacaso non c'è più bisogno di lui... sai com'è, c'è la crisi... Salvo il giorno dopo assumerne un'altro. Stagista pure lui ovvio. E il ciclo si ripete.

Ad un mio caro amico una nota catena di negozi clothing was offered a job as an intern in one of their stores (which is open until 10 pm by the way) for € 289 per month (which is actually listed as expenses). Do not believe it. And they are also amazed when my friend said no. "But how? Refuses a job?"

But we are sure the highest aspiration of man should be working 8 hours a day for a wage of 1.5 € per hour? But I say ... are we crazy?

Yet they do nothing but exploit and apply what the law allows it. And the interns are multiplying ...

The banana republic never ceases to amaze us.
