| schestowitz | Dear Colleagues, | Nov 10 02:11 |
| schestowitz | In May 2024, the Staff Representation brought the topic of software ergonomics once more to the Central Occupational Health, Safety and Ergonomics Committee (COHSEC). This topic has been brought to the COHSEC many times. | Nov 10 02:11 |
| schestowitz | The Staff Representation requests a dedicated and permanent sub-group of the COHSEC for dealing with software ergonomics. The project-management for software projects should show accountability towards the COHSEC. | Nov 10 02:11 |

If you are the CFO, this practice prints money. Until worker replacement doesn’t print money, expect more of the same behavior. I expect this practice to settle at a NA head count in the 30k range and a Northern Europe headcount in the 25k range. There wi | Nov 10 18:45 |
