Treviso has no waiters. “They want people with experience only for the weekend.” The restaurateur: «No, let’s invest in young people»

TREVISO – The discussion around the locals they are looking for people to hire without finding anyone and on contractual conditions proposals. L’economist Alessandro Minello, a teacher at Ca’ Foscari, lights the fuse with a post dedicated to one of the many signs posted by clubs looking for staff only for the weekend but “with experience”. And Minello writes: «Are they looking for a young man? No. Are they looking for a person to raise? No. Are they looking for someone with experience? Yes. Are they looking for a “when” person? Especially at the weekend! So the profile searched for it’s a already trained workerwith experience and predominantly for the weekend, maybe (they don’t say it but it will be like this: for the spring and summer months only). Ah, I forgot: naturally he must be serious and kind. Right. They are not looking for staff to join the business but they are asking for something that does not exist in nature. I fear that sign will remain up until it fades. Time passes but nothing changes. And in the meantime, young people are looking for something else, because they aren’t looking for them here. On the contrary”.

THE REPLICA

Obviously the discussion heated up in a flash. Answering the economist is Michele Pozzobonprovincial vice president of Fipe and owner of some of the busiest venues in the historic centre: «The case examined by Minello – he says – is now more than isolated in our sector. Today the clubs, in the city almost all run by young people, invest heavily in human resources. Nowadays the types of venues are so different that having “experience” counts up to a certain point. Managers instead focus on training the person, not just the young person. And they do it to be attractive, to guarantee the possibility of growing in an interesting working environment. Gone are the days when a young person would only start and finish washing dishes and peeling potatoes. Anyone who enters a place truly has the opportunity to work learn, we are focusing a lot on this as an association.” And are the employees located? «The problems we have are those that all sectors have today. Temporary employees practically no longer exist. From an economic point of view, there are national contracts that represent the starting point, then each manager manages relationships with employees. Now there is the introduction of the corporate welfare. In short: everything has changed.”
