Working in call center makes bell

A ferocious and timely book on the lives of young Italians precarious.

Edited by Pier Luigi Tolardo - Those of Zeus

Andrea Bajani is a thirty Turin in the life that was particularly precarious: worker in black, then CoCoCo, then Copro, then intrinale and a lot VAT, the editorial service to call centers. His life (and that of the overwhelming majority of young Italians) has described in a section of the insert weekly newspaper "La Stampa" under the heading "Screw to project", which is now dell'Einaudi a book entitled "I m'impiego but not broke. "

The book is both funny and amarissimo, a &qut; noir "of work and at work, if we can borrow the term that defines another literary genre completely different.

For example, pages devoted to the call center: "Working with the call center makes beautiful. Just turn on the television for having confirmation. Operators of telephone companies beautiful smile and relaxed inside the screen. For the most part are women. The girls of call centers speak flautte inside headphones from soubrette television, those who sing, dance and make the split. Incontrarle by zapping between channels can restore the smile a day, can fall in love and may also envy. The girls with pimples and remote in hand would immediately rush to put his head inside the cuffietta to become like them. The boys lying on the sofa you pull on why they too would like to speak inside a cuffetta seated next to a girl so beautiful and relaxed. When off television, boys and girls dress and go to offer the call centre excited as if going to do a test for TV. "

"The most beautiful work of the call center is the break. After two hours of rings in the ears and smiles against the monitor you have your right to pause for about ten minutes. In those ten minutes you can umare the balcony, take a coffee the machines and make the pee. Only, you do not have sottovalutarla. paused to book early in turn, and this means that you must be sufficiently confident in your bladder to know when it is appropriate to bring it to Cabinet. If you play some joke will need to learn to administer the emergency. You will make small bounces regular on the chair while smiling explain to your customer ian '≈ egrave; pizzeria Red Tavern, and the bounces cadenzerai smiling and closing your knees to the rhythm of metronome. At scoccare the break, then, correrai as a desperate towards the toilet in the middle of the smiles of colleagues who call. "

"The phone call, if possible, dovrebe not take more than a minute, because after a minute becomes uneconomical for the company. Behind you there is a man that your times and, if you go too long ago the face of a that is not happy, and if he is not happy, could be a problem at the end of the contract. So every phone call lasts a minute, and at the end of minutes there is another ring nell'orecchio, accompanied by a written flashing on the monitor that says CALL ON ARRIVAL. A minute after the other, a ring after another, and so until the end of turn. At the end of the day are about 250 times ch you said smiling: Hello are Maximus, what can I be helpful? ".

The strategy multipolar dellIndi

The strategy multipolar India
Tiberius Graziani director of magazine Eurasia Studies Geopolitici

Presentation of No 2 / 2006 of Eurasia, dedicated to India, Wednesday, May 17 - 18.00, prsso the Bookstore DRAGHI Via Saint Lucia 11 - PADUA with assistance of Stephen Vernole and Claudio Mutti.

Economic growth in India

Like China, albeit with a slower pace (around 6% per year), India has recorded over the last fifteen years, the rate of economic growth that it can be put in projections for 2020 made by the World Bank and the IMF, among quattr most important economies on the planet. Another important always to take into account when analysing nations characterized by an imposing mass population (1 028 610 328 inhabitants in case of the Republic of BhÄ rat, according to the census of 2001), is also its percentage of annual growth, which , Although not high, almost, in fact, only 1, 6% (1998-2003), is an important and vital parameter for evaluating tentre to understand the role and weight that India will acquire, worldwide, coming decades.
Switching from eleventh place in the ranking of the major world economies to the fourth is the goal of both the government of Manmohan Singh, father of reforms "liberal" and exponent of the coalition led by the Congress Party, and the composite opposition, national and antiliberista, which, objectively allies, the People's Party (Bharatiya Janata Party), considered, according to Western patterns, right-wing, the Communist Party of India and the Communist Party of India Marxist-Leninist.

The adoption of a particular model of "development", which favours a considerable specialisation in the tertiary advanced and a specific interest in scientific research and technology, has enabled India to rtagliarsi, as part of the world economy, the role of " attractor global "of services sectors and scientific research, with particular reference to areas economically sensitive, such as pharmaceutical and that of information technology, which has always been policed by the U.S. and UK. This has attracted a lot of concern in these countries and caused rules and regulations of defence; recently (205), just to give you an example, the U.S. Senate approved a measure to exclude from public companies that have relocated in offshoring (also only 50 jobs) in the last five years.

The Indian governments of the last decade, as well as sustain economic growth of the country and facilitate, through a pragmatic diplomacy, its gradual participation in the world economy, have launched extensive programmes of modernisation of road, railway, port, airport and the network of energy supplies. These programs, however, are struggling to be realized because of internal tensions generated by the contrast between the tendency deeply "liberal" of the government and the opposition.

A multipolar

India, as indeed other asiatio giant, China, seeks to capitalize on its recent "boom" economic even at the international level, becoming assert and credit, not only as an occasional "partner" in theory "strategic" but also, and above all as nuclear power and member constituent of a new planetarium.
India, in fact, as can be seen from the analysis of its actions in foreign policy, seems to have understood pienamnte the current historical moment, which is characterized from a period of transition between the old bipolar system and a future multipolar system under construction. A historical period of transition, we would like to stress, in which the degree of disturbance seems to have reached its climax, as the uncertain "Regency unipolar" dell'iperpotenza U.S. shows increasing signs of his delino, among which are: "quagmire" of Iraq, acceptance, obtorto neck, the Indian nuclear policy, the Russian-Chinese cooperation in the military, relations "special" between some countries in South America, primarily Brazil and Venezuela with China , India and Russia.

Awareness, metabolized from India, that he is in a process of transition to a new world order, and &ap; rsquo; experience as a regional power since independence day (August 15 1947) until the early nineties, however rimarcata, symbolically more times (in 1955, during the Bandung Conference of the "non-aligned countries" in 1974 with the first nuclear tests) oblige him to take a responsibility not only regional but also global.
A responsibility that moves from its role geopolitic that New Delhi has held during the second half of last century. The Union of India, in fact, well before China and other major nations of what was called in the journalism of the time, "third world", had sensed that the bipolar system based on a precarious balance and for that reason became is godmother of the movement of non-aligned countries is "correcting" the gap between the U.S. and the Soviet bloc &ampldquo; "adhering to understandings friendship with the latter. Remember that friendship with the Soviet Union is also strengthened as a result of friction between Beijing and New Delhi, which resulted, as you know, in armed clashes of 1962-63 and, above all, with the choice of China to be part of the device nixoniano Washington-Islamabad-Beijing.

The function of "correcting" that India to appointed under the previous system geopolitical, currently allows it to strengthen, this time, however, on a basis of equality and increased autonomy, its ties with Moscow, while his participation of non-aligned movement, to be candid, along with Russia and China, a country led by a hypothetical multipolar system. As part of this strategy, we must mention the recent agreements signed with China on fontiere of litigation and scientific and technological cooperation in energy.

The creation of an axis Moscow-Beijing-New Delhi seems to be a fact. In this device, geopoliticamente relevant to the autonomy of mass protection from the Eurasian continental U.S., however, lacks a pendant vital and irreplaceable, what the emanciperebbe entirety, from the Pacific, and would allow a Pax urasiatica: European axis Paris - Berlin-Moscow.
In order not to frustrate the work of the governments of Moscow, Beijing and New Delhi in the construction of a new system that takes into account the peculiarities and national aspirations, and have, above all, an equal role in the future multipolar, is the task of European decision to make a choice of field functional to the interests of their peoples and of the Eurasian continent
