Downshifting - it is evil

alexey Rubtsov

Downshifting - a whim and fantasy. In fact the phenomenon as such is absent, there is a buzz around him.

Such a change of life - is not a new phenomenon, and later I will show it on examples, but for now I note on that in Russia those who at least formally be called candidates for daunshifterom... ochennno few. Most people live at risk of poverty and can shift only in dire poverty, which in our climate somehow does not look attractive.

The second point - the people have fallen and are satisfied with small appetizers and vodka, if you are older. Dope and beer, if younger. Do they have much Shift?

The third - "mid-level manager", which expresses its intention zashiftitsya, almost boasting this is ridiculous: he refuses to car loans and from an apartment on credit, in other words, he just did not give up anything - he often lives in debt... just work harder than Goa juice drink ...

Fourth - go back to the statement that constant downshifting, and the present. I do not know behind the hill, and we have educated people sometimes find the courage to abandon the career, went to "blind" the place and become rural teachers or doctors. That is a clear rejection of the benefits of its for the good of the public, this is the shift, and the lazy, allegedly to save the Earth, consuming less... they should be flogged. You work, let's work to others, no one is forcing you to consume. You go to a village to raise children. Arrange commune by type Makarenko (Ed.: We are talking about Solonitsevka - commune village for difficult children organized educator Makarenko), Or have become hermit, If people are disgusted.

A smoking drugs and argue that you're on something refused, funny, the right word.

Downshifting - it is good

By daynshiftingu I am very positive. :-) That's why some time ago I switched to freelance. This gives me the opportunity to work and devote time to his family.

And in corporations (including one of the largest companies in the world), I have had time to work. By the way, the idea of ​​working "when you want to," I learned it from the experience of working in a big company...

People do not seem to understand what is downshifting. Here, in each extreme comments. Nowhere to go live in a tent is not necessary, do not have to sell anything, then to run naked through the jungle.

Did you ever wanted to stay in bed and still sleep, to wake up when you get enough sleep, not when once again the bell alarm clock? Or maybe you had someone to cheat, then tormented by remorse?

Someone thinks someone wants something, and someone just does and lives. Everyone puts their priorities. And if you are of yourself you squeeze juice - it is only your choice. You do not have to console themselves with the fact that you have a family or something else.

Throw nothing else, it is necessary to adjust for that is what you really want, and as experience shows - all people eventually want the same.

People do simple creatures vplane instincts. Regarding the awareness of problem statement it does not have its decision and doubt is the baggage of consciousness, no more and their presence is sometimes useful :)
You are absolutely right to an occasion that it is easier to leave than to improve themselves. But a person needs at this time and effort, but it is not so easy. I fiction (and will not) in a situation where, for example, because of the problem of civilized bezperspektivnosti suschevstvovaniya or because of the employee's grievance, I'll throw everything and leave to okeanu- is stupid and yes, this is an extreme measure. I will do this if you ever aware besmyslenno "Now this" existence in society, and I just want to nature. And it will not be in the noise, and in self-awareness itself as a part of something, independent of pounds per barrel. And if a person is aware of this and try, noise he do not care. And common sense this will not, everyone has his own will and it will be more significant than any of our arguments. In general, I'm getting more in philosophy than in practical application. And we perceive it is a little bit from different sides. But it's good :)

I think about something like that. I noticed that I can work remotely, so why not take the opportunity to see the world. Maybe in a year and I will be working 2 months from one country and come for a month in office.

For the money, I think it will be all the same, only I see the world and get the charms of sea fishing type, heat and color of the world, which are not available here =)

Yes, just returned from Thailand. Saw some daunshifterov on Koh Phangan... Some people are running. Pyut, drug addiction, look scary. But they do not work by themselves. Well, that is lead somewhere out there the tourists, but it is a serious work, I do not think =)

from the point of view of the organization daunshifterom evil. They divide people into cogs of different managers there. and twist them 24/7. at the same time when people begin to equate happiness with the success of the company's identity disappears. it is no more. but there is a bit of dough to which you can escape for a week where there daunshiftery live. sunbathe and again in battle. and on the grave of a strong chelovekomateriala it will be possible to draw a graph. effective supposedly was a cog.

Controversially of downshifting

boris Egorov

From the point of view of the organization, Downshifting - a great social phenomenon, because it washes out potentially weak human material of the corporate structure. The best way to knocks now than break at the crucial moment.
Lost money spent on hiring daunshifterom, but if the phenomenon does not take a large scale (as compared to other causes of dismissal) - no big deal.

By the way, great daunshifterom played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film "The Beach / The Beach», which is worth a look :)
