Narda Lepes (51) has become a trend on social networks due to some statements he made in one of the cycles of streaming from Telefe.

In the program Hello, The famous chef spoke to Andy Clar and Beta Suárez and sparked controversy by referring to the differences in the amount of work licenses required by its male and female employees.

Narda was honest and explained that she had done some sort of “research”, with the help of her “long-time” accountant, to get statistics on the licenses she provided in her various gastronomic businesses.

According to him, he discovered that it was his male employees who took more time off work and that in most cases it was due to injuries sustained during football matches played with their friends.

“I asked my accountant ‘can you analyze all the time off I’ve taken from work?’ All. And give me some statistics about it,’” Narda began.

And he developed the results obtained: “70% of the licenses I granted were to men, sickness, those things, work permits, went to men. 85% of these licenses are football injuries.”

“Of the 35% of women who asked for leave, 80% cared for someone. Priorities, right?”held.

“Well, here are the ones who tell you ‘no, because they get pregnant, because I don’t know what.’ The problem is, “The most expensive thing that has cost me in my professional life has been injuries in men’s football.”closed, reflective.

The excerpt of the interview went viral on the social network and many users commented on the chef’s words.

“But Narda Lepes… Narda, if they get injured outside their work environment why do you have expenses? And if it’s in their work environment, they must have work insurance”, “How to verify this information…” , “Nonsense: “If someone breaks his ligaments, he could also have been at work standing for many hours and obviously also doing sports”, “It makes sense”, were some of the messages that circulated, for and against his statements .

Note that in the interview Lepes also referred to how work culture was changing and to the women who refuse to aspire to the Michelin star.

“It’s a lifestyle that not many mines were willing to do… I think it’s going to happen more now because that changes and so does the culture that comes with maintaining or having multiple stars (in reference to the famous Michelin stars) for a restaurant that it already is, it is no longer what it was 20 years ago. The situation has changed a lot”, said Narda.

He continued: “It’s a different work culture. There is a thing with the stars that has led to the culture of sacrifice, of an entire team and between the pressure for everything to be 9, 10”.

“What he started to think is that to get to that 9, 10 you sacrifice a lot of the human part, not only your own but also that of the team”, he acknowledged.

And he explains: “A kid who washes glasses in a place that has Michelin stars, each glass is sometimes worth 200 dollars. Washing a 7″ glass is not the same as washing a 200″ glass.

“All this leads to pressure on the team that many times we women don’t choose.”. Maybe now because that care of the team has begun to change. But we are still there…” concluded Narda.
