... Но лето, лето особенно упоительно в том краю. Там надо искать свежего сухого воздуха, напоенного — не лимоном и не лавром, а просто запахом полыни, сосны и черемухи; там искать ясных дней, слегка жгучих, но не палящих лучей солнца и почти в течение трех месяцев безоблачного неба.
Как пойдут ясные дни, то и длятся недели три-четыре; и вечер тепел там, и ночь душна. Звезды так приветливо, так дружески мигают с небес.
Дождь ли пойдет — какой благотворный летний дождь! Хлынет бойко, обильно, весело запрыгает, точно крупные и жаркие слезы внезапно обрадованного человека; а только перестанет — солнце уже опять с ясной улыбкой любви осматривает и сушит поля и пригорки: и вся страна опять улыбается счастьем в ответ солнцу.
Радостно приветствует дождь крестьянин: «Дождичек вымочит, солнышко высушит!» — говорит он, подставляя с наслаждением под теплый ливень лицо, плечи и спину.

Нескучные истории - Not boring stories

Отрывок из романа Ивана Гончарова "Обломов"

In this episode, we explore why many young people in the UK say they would prefer growing up without the internet. We talk about how social media affects their feelings, teach you useful English words like exist, protect, and privacy, and ask: Could you live without going online?

"Would You Live Without the Internet?"


Job insecurity is the feeling of uncertainty or anxiety about the continued existence of your employment. It's the opposite of job security, where there's confidence your position is stable. Job insecurity can be triggered by actual threats like company restructuring, economic downturns, or technological advancements, or it can be a perceived threat based on factors like short-term contracts, limited job control, or a lack of clear career advancement opportunities.

While the fear of job loss might be the main concern, job insecurity goes beyond that. It encompasses feelings of powerlessness, a lack of control over your future, and potential negative consequences like stress, anxiety, and decreased motivation. This can impact not just employee well-being but also company performance through lower productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover.

Job insecurity is a complex issue with various causes and effects. Understanding it allows businesses to create a work environment that fosters security and reduces employee anxiety. This can involve providing clear communication about company goals and employee roles, offering opportunities for professional development, and promoting work-life balance initiatives. By addressing job insecurity, businesses can create a more stable and productive workforce. 

A business coach, like myself, can be a valuable asset in combating job insecurity within a company. They can work with managers to develop transparent communication strategies, ensuring employees understand their roles and the company's direction. Additionally, the coach can guide managers in crafting career development plans for employees, fostering a sense of growth and opportunity. By creating a culture that values continuous learning and clear communication, business coaches empower employees and mitigate the anxieties associated with job insecurity.
