LETTER FROM THE EDITOR - YEAR VII - N 5

Every morning I wake up early, well before the usual opening to be in office.

And every morning I browse my national and international newspapers.

In one of these mornings, a news story that caught my attention.

Richard Branson, the visionary founder and owner of the Virgin, will allow members of his staff to go on vacation whenever they want, for as long as they want. And most importantly, to do so without asking permission.

He writes on his blog “The employees will be able to choose when to go on vacation, take a break for hours, weeks, or months, without having to ask for special permits to the heads of their respective areas and to me. It is no longer as important as time passes in the company. But the quality of the work. “

Quality of work instead of quantity.

Dear Richard’re in good company.

In fact, for years that the study “proper manner” in order to apply this fundamental concept in a world of work in constant metamorphosis.

In fact, if there is involvement of employees to the corporate vision and projects the results are slow in coming or never arrive.

This beautiful theory, however, clashes with the reality of Italy.

Collides with a world and a labor law that rewards and encourages “parasites” and penalizes the “hard workers.”

Today, those who are truly protected is the “slacker”.

I consider myself extremely lucky.

My whole team is made up of people with passion and dedication on a daily basis are committed to ensure that our dream called Adamis, grow and become bigger and bigger and concrete.

Surely I would not be without them and we would not be who we are.

For our part, as a company, we always try to encourage them, to reward them, to stimulate their “creativity and passion” work.
Because I think that work without creativity and passion, it’s like being dead and not to have noticed yet, a bit ‘like the movie “The Sixth Sense”!

But then we come up against the world called Italy.

Do you know that an Italian company is enormous difficulties to be able to financially reward a worker? It is paradoxical but true.
know that the cost of staff in a company are not deductible in tax? What does it mean? I assume most people in the company and pay more taxes! It should be the other way around?

Do you know that we have the highest tax Cuneo of the World? What is the Tax Cuneo? To simplify is the difference between what the company actually pays and how much a worker receives the same net paycheck. Example, a worker receives € 1,200 net a month, the company pays about € 2,400 a month. It means that the difference goes to the state. To get something in return? More blue car? Pay pensions to ministers after 5 years of pseudo work?

And if the worker perceives the company would pay € 1,700 and € 2,000, it would be better? With € 500 more per month would be created again consumption in Italy or not? The worker would be more peaceful or not to deal with the everyday?

Simple solution! Many will ask: why do not you do it?

Why should be kept a world of work created for the 70% of parasites.

People who use the law in their favor to work less and earn more.

People who do not accept fixed work because they take unemployment.

People who are laid off by the company the day before to make way for those who really want to work and the next day you bring in disease for months.

Who do you think pays those months of illness? You, us!

Here is where does the money go. That the labor market is composed not only by workers who are not also fixed by entrepreneurs incorrect unfortunately for us this is a fact.

But I’m not there.

I want my company made up of people who every day have the desire and enthusiasm to come to work, I want employees who believe in the company vision and who want to grow with it.

It is difficult but I am sure that the business world is also made up of many people who want to demonstrate and prove that the work really ennobles man.

It is difficult to know, but if it were not it would not be an “enterprise”!
