Personal things and personal tought

Our memories are all we have

I am in China for work, with a few connection to the real world outside, so Italian news usually comes to me late, when I am able to connect to internet from hotel; great firewall allowing. Being isolated from the Italian reality put things into a different perspective, allow you to keep less news with more time to digest and think about. It happened a few days ago I learned of the death of Umberto Eco, one of the greatest Italian tinker of our age. He was a great writer, a great thinker, a truly free spirit. The first thing I did…

The rightful way to make an employee unhappy

Management is a difficult art, management in big corporations is more difficult. Management in a corporation where the multicultural requirement is a need is even harder. We all know it and, to a certain extent, we have to deal with it. We can’t expect everything works well and right, and we have to show flexibility and we have to be open to change and embrace the new but… Let’s be real, no matter how much effort you put sometimes things are just not right. When the environment is too toxic probably is better to leave than hoping for a change. …

The fine art to make impossible what is possible. (Or why many projects fail)

I know there is always a great distance between reality and management, Sometimes it happens to me to bump into a real good manager, but it is mostly an exception to the general rule than the norm. I would say that my personal opinion is that because nowadays management mostly is all but dealing with reality, with the prevalent culture that has moved from production to finance, we moved from the real economy to a virtual representation that does not take into account many factors because focused only on few parameters. The result is quite interesting since, from one side,…

Bunch of anniversaries, lol, thanks for reminding LinkedIn

Ok I have crossed another year last year I have  crossed my 50 (in august) and now I am trying to make a living i the 2016. LinkedIn helped me to remind me there have been some work anniversary for me this month, and so I receive a lot of congratulations, which I really appreciated. I usually do not stop to think about those anniversary, but receiving all those message make me think on what I am doing. So basically I receive anniversary wishes for my blogs, my activity as a trainer, journalistwriter and for my current Job. let’s talk a bit about my…

Apple, l’evasione fiscale e gli strani conti della Agenzia delle Entrate

Probabilmente non sono un genio della finanza, e mi mancano gli strumenti cognitivi base per capire certe finezze, ma mi sorge un dubbio: Se una azienda come apple evade, secondo lo stato italiano, 880 miloni di euro in tasse, come mai puo sanare la cosa pagandone solo un terzo, 318 milioni? Perchè invece a me le cartelle arrivano con gli importi almeno quintuplicati tra more, multe, penali e cose del genere? Intendiamoci non sono un sostenitore della evasione, ma sostengo che chi non riesce a pagare, avendolo vissuto sulla mia pelle, e vivendolo tutt’ora, dovrebbe essere aiutato a coprire il suo debito…

Canone RAI in bolletta, altra cavolata all’italiana?

Ok oramai è risaputo che non sono uso lodare le italiche virtù, sopratutto legate alla gestione ed amministrazione della “res Publica”. Fortunatamente non manca momento che il governo, di qualsiasi colore esso sia, e la amministrazione dello stato non diano ampio supporto a questo mio sconfortante senso di frustrazione. Oserei dire che ha ragione Crozza quando presentava la Inc. Cool 8, sembra che sia questa infatti la origine di tutti i procedimenti, tasse, balzelli regole, leggi e leggine che vigono nel nostro paese. Ultima in ordine temporale la geniale trovata secondo cui il canone RAi verrà pagato nella bolletta della…
