What is the common point between Friday 13, the films of the Scream saga, and a bailiff bartender in the evening and dart player on weekends? No, do not answer “they all scare me”: they are slashers.
Do you know the Slasher Movies? This sub-genre of the horror film features the methodical murders of a serial killer, sometimes in a house full of young innocent people, often at night, with a deep sadism, and a knife that cuts, to slash meaning “Slice, Taillader”. Massacre à la cha chavunuse (1974) is also one of the first slashers.
What is the relationship with pluriactivity? None. Fortunately, the etymology has nothing to do with any sharp object or, if necessary, the “Swiss knife”. It simply comes from the slash, this typographic sign which separates the different activities of the slat.
The Slasheur (let’s keep the U to distinguish it from the slasher) therefore continues the jobs in series: most of the time, he chose not to choose. If it is possible to “slasher” within the same company (by having a versatile position), this is often done on behalf of several employers, sometimes even under different employment status (employee in time shared, at Mi -Time, independent, intermittent, temporary, …).
six million multi -firing in France
Marci Alboher, American author of One Person/Multiple Careers (2007), is known for having popularized the expression, which is used to enhance this mode of work which differs from the standard. She often uses the metaphor of tapestry: by sewing different different pieces of self, we get a customary career, unique … and not an unstable person.
There would today be six million multi -firing in France, according to a study carried out in 2022 for the SME show, which brings together self -employed. The status of autoentrepreneur, born in 2009, favored the emergence of the “Food job scheme embellished with a passion a few hours a week”. According to the SME study, 67 % of slashers are to increase their income, 29 % to draw income from a hobby. Among the slashers knowing how to let go, we will find the fire firefighter, the dentist/confectioner, the trainer/president of a charity.
Autonomous, the slashery is often presented as enthusiastic and daring, symbol of the world of community work, flexible, “ubérized”. Without wanting to throw themselves on roses, of course, the slashers will sometimes qualify multipotentials or “polymathes”, a Greek term meaning that they have skills in areas that have no link, the idol of polymathes being Leonardo de Vinci.
