| schestowitz[TR3] | Dear SUEPO members, | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Dear Colleagues, | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | The President still plans a further erosion of EPO salaries, pensions and other benefits estimated at –1% per year below the evolution of costs of living without any financial justification. | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | In the sixth technical meeting on the topic, the Office introduced a “high inflation clause” capping salary adjustments if Eurozone inflation is above 6%. In addition, PD4.3 went beyond the orientations of the Administrative Council by abolishing any obligation for the Office to take due account of recommendations by the Co-ordinating Committee of Government Budget Experts. They said: “The Office is free to whatever it wants | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | without any guidance.” | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Therefore, the SUEPO Munich Action Plan 2026 adopted on 19 January continues with | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Work-To-Rule actions | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Days of strike on Friday 17 April, Monday 20 April and Friday 24 April | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Two days of strike per week (Mondays and Fridays) in April, May and June | Apr 17 04:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | For your information, SUEPO The Hague has declared Monday 20 April as an “anchor day” for a maximum number to strike. | Apr 17 04:50 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | @b3 Yes, I think it doesn't bother him. He got a 51% raise in his compensation. So you tell us. There is not even strategic thought behind RAs. If there were, it would be done way differently and with a better impact to the bottom line. | Apr 17 19:50 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | "You’re confusing effort with insecurity. Upskilling and putting in more than the minimum isn’t “cheerleading,” it’s how people stay relevant in a competitive industry. | Apr 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | Leaders like Lou Gerstner and Arvind Krishna didn’t build or sustain IBM by doing the bare minimum—they adapted, executed, and evolved when it mattered. That’s the entire point. | Apr 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | If you want to dismiss that as “propaganda,” that’s your call. But attacking someone for putting in the work says a lot more about your mindset than mine. | Apr 17 19:50 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | @mj Comrade Troll ChatGPT. It is clear you cannot read and are just inputting people's posts into ChatGPT and copying in the output here. These posts about King Louie who you adore and never met or talked with (I did and that is no anecdote Comrad) are all true real things vs the fantasy would you live in doing Think400000 hours of nonsensical reading of IBM propaganda and cheer leading slogans thinking you are producing something | Apr 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | of value. How many customer meetings do you run a week? Thats right zero. How many customer CIO's do you know or have cell phone numbers for? Oh thats right zero. If you actually "work" for IBM which is highly doubtful, any monies IBM gives you would be better spent helping a homeless veteran or helping a warrior who has come home from protecting us overseas with an IED brain injury. Get over yourself and get some self awareness. Y | Apr 17 19:50 |

| schestowitz[TR3] | You’re throwing out insults and secondhand anecdotes, but none of that changes what actually happened. When Lou Gerstner stepped in, IBM was losing billions, fragmented internally, and on the verge of being broken apart. | Apr 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | “The last thing IBM needs right now is a vision” wasn’t incompetence—it was a rejection of empty slogans in favor of execution. He stabilized the business, unified the company, and built the services model that drove IBM’s recovery. | Apr 17 19:50 |
| schestowitz[TR3] | You can quote roadshows and stories all day, but results matter. IBM didn’t collapse—it turned around. That’s not mythology, that’s history. | Apr 17 19:50 |
