miquel lluí­s mestre mestre

Sembla ser que la cultura dels workhaolics als EEUU s’acaba. Amb aquest terme es coneix a la gent adicta al treball i que per tant prioritzen la feina a la familia o a l’oci.
Idò segons un estudi realitzat per Careerbuilder.com, l’Infojobs nord-americí , fins a un 35% de treballadors va faltar algun dia dia durant l’any 2004 “per que sí­”, per que no tenia ganes d’anar a treballar. I clar, el més interessant són les excuses que posen:
- “M’han caigut les claus pel wí ter”
- “He xocat amb la porta del garatge”
- “Estic massa gras per posar-me la roba de feina”
- “La serp del meu novio s’ha escapat i no volia sortir de l’habitació”
- “Havia begut massa per venir a la feina”
- “No me’n recordava que me casava avui”
- o fins i tot intervencions més divines “Déu no m’ha despertat”

Les copio literalment de l’anglés:

When asked to share the most unusual excuses workers gave for missing work, hiring managers quoted the following examples:

* “I’m too drunk to drive to work.”
* “I accidentally flushed my keys down the toilet.”
* “I had to help deliver a baby on my way to work.” (employee was not in the medical profession)
* “I accidentally drove through the automatic garage door before it opened.”
* “My boyfriend’s snake got loose and I’m afraid to leave the bedroom until he gets home.”
* “I’m too fat to get into my work pants.”
* “God didn’t wake me.” (employee didn’t believe in alarm clocks and thought a higher power would wake her when she was ready)
* “I cut my fingernails too short, they’re bleeding and I have to go to the doctor.”
* “The ghosts in my house kept me up all night.”
* “I forgot I was getting married today.”
* “My cow bit me.”
* “My son accidentally fell asleep next to wet cement in our backyard. His foot fell in and we can’t get it out.”
* “I was watching a guy fixing a septic pump, fell in the hole and hurt myself.”
* “I was walking my dog and slipped on a toad in my driveway and hurt my back.”
* “My house lock jammed and I’m locked in.”

Finalment dir que un 23% dels enquestats foren despatxats per aquestes exucses tan… fantí stiques.
