Up Your ALI

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. I’m joined today by Naseem, an IT consultant from 
Delhi and Deepa, an HR consultant from Bangore. Today we’ll be discussing the increase in the number of people moonlighting and what the future holds for companies and workers. So, Deepa, I’ll ask you first: What has created this problem?

Deepa: Well, as with many places around the world, during the pandemic, there was a big increase in the number of people working from home and also economic instability. So, at the same time, we had more people working without any supervision and people were more worried about being able to make a living. So, the increase in online moonlighting was a consequence of that situation really.

Naseem: That’s certainly what happened to me. At the time, you read about all of these companies that were *laying off * their staff and there wasn’t much you could do about it if it happened to you. So suddenly working for just one company seemed like a bad idea. I have a family to feed: three boys and a girl. I felt a lot of insecurity and was terrified of losing money, or maybe even worse, my house. So, I took two jobs.

Host: What effect did that have on you and your family?

Naseem: It gave us some comfort, financially, as I started making more money than I had before the pandemic. But I was also working very long hours each day. I saw the children every day of course, but I couldn’t spend any real time with them as I had to work from almost as soon as I got up, until late in the evening. My wife was working as well, so it was quite hard to manage everything. When the crisis was averted, we had gotten used to having the extra money, so although I cut back on my hours in both jobs, I still continued to work at both.

Host: Do you see anything wrong with doing what you are doing?

Naseem: Not at all. I’m a professional and I work hard at both jobs. My main job is in IT as you mentioned, but my second is in design.

SERBIAN TO GO

Куда путујете на одмор? – Kuda putujete na odmor? – Where do you travel on vacation? (Dialogue A1 level)

Hola les dejo unos conceptos clave para entender el audio ya que por ser una civilización maya, tenemos incorporado al español algunas palabras mayas.

Chichen Itzá: Ciudad construida por los mayas en la península de Yucatán.
Kukulkán: Era el Dios adorado por los mayas también conocido como “serpiente emplumada”. El castillo o el templo de Kukulkán es visitado por millones de turistas al año.
El Templo de los Guerreros: Construcción con más de 200 columnas que representa los pilares internos que como guerreros usamos para combatir el mal interior.
El Juego de Pelota: Lugar donde se llevaba a cabo ritos ceremoniales representó la recreación simbólica del mítico combate entre la noche y el día. Hay un fenómeno acústico singular en el campo de juego de pelota: si uno habla en el templo en el extremo sur, la voz se puede escuchar en el extremo opuesto.
El Templo de Xtoloc: Templo utilizado para los ritos ceremoniales, a un lado se encuentra el cenote donde se presume culminaban los sacrificios.
El Caracol: Construcción conocida como el observatorio y es desde donde los mayas observaban los cambios en el cielo y hacían sus anotaciones astrológicas.
Las Monjas: Es llamado así por contener muchas habitaciones que a los españoles les recordó los conventos.
Akab Dzib: significa "La Casa de la Escritura Misteriosa", los arqueólogos creen que se trataba de la fachada frontal, con una vista superior de lo que alguna vez fue un cenote.
Si quieren que hable de algo en especifico por favor mandenme un mensaje.
