Third June eight people, suited in white suits, helmets, masks and goggles, in broad daylight defeated entire floor hotel in Madrid. They went from room to room with sledgehammers and methodically laid in the dust all that their way. Upravivshis with 21 rooms for two hours, the pogrom promised to return to the hotel in September.

Hosts a four-star hotel NH Alcala, which has 146 comfortable rooms, know that after eight unichtozhiteley satisfied they will have 22 people with sledgehammers Jinpho too, and that will break all the bands. And for that nothing will!

But owners of a network of NH Hoteles, a 335 hotels in three continents, is not upset occurred. On the contrary, they are very pleased that this meant : "Who among us has not dreamed of in times of severe stress divided in disease all around?" with a smile, they said, looking at zhmuschihsya in door frames television, photographers and journalists. Meanwhile, a wise finished with TV and switched to writing, and sounds of hammer heard from the other bathroom, where life is surrounding end wall mirror.

But all began with that NH decided to reconstruct Alcala : although the hotel was opened in 1996, its interior is more in line with the 1970-m, as a new millennium, and the whole hotel clearly behind the Madrid today.

Scale "restayling" has been scheduled for this summer, and owners of establishments were gathered to hire workers, as they have clients wishing to "help in the reconstruction" : "Give us at least cracked furniture," they asked.

Marketing Division hotels have weighed the disadvantages, pros and decided that the volunteer company will benefit : on the one hand, you can save on the payment of professional destroyers, the other from all this might have loud headlines and nedurnoy PR.

"To the best advertising has, NH involved in the project team of psychologists, who threw Let throughout Spain, has been declared a" command destroyers from the stress especially brutalized people.

Not surprisingly, responded to the call of a one thousand, and each tried to convince the "jury" that his hard life has been completely black lines.

It should be noted that, according to the Spanish Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (Ministerio de Trabajo y Asuntos Sociales), suffer from stress ordinary workers and businessmen-to 10-point scale of "napryag" estimated at 6.7, while On average level of 5.6. The most "stress" is a Spaniard aged between 30 th and 54 years (estimate 5.9), and women suffer more than men : middle from 5.8 to 5.5.

In any case, after reviewing questionnaires applicants identified 100 pereutomlennyh finalists. They had to undergo medical examinations and deliver "a psychological examination, included the beating" chavkayuschego cigars boss "full size. During the massacre of doll test should shout phrases that reflect their emotional state, 'I zasluzhivayu respect! " and "Where is my money away? ! "

The result was the selection of 30 sufferers, who gave clothing, hammer and pickaxes, and exactly two hours to raspravitsya two dozen rooms.

No restrictions for destroyers, in fact, was not : break windows and mirrors, sryvayte curtains, prolamyvayte Wall rasscheplyayte furniture, grohnite TV, in a word, a message in this room as a rock star.

One of the psychologists, Laura Garcia (Laura Garcia), speaking of this innovative therapy, observed that the physical effort "to produce nervous, reducing tension in the body" and the destruction "to demonstrate the effect of the release of adrenaline."

So it is, in fact happened : the pogrom left the hotel tired, and yet stayed with shoulder-Hill, as the saying goes.

And, of course, they were happy, it is not the ability to produce a pair of "leadership Alcala issued" rekonstruktoram "invitation in September, when the hotel will be completely refurbished, the participants will be able to share it for free lunch and spend the night.

However, hammer this time will not do.
