|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | Email text: | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Dear Mr President, | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In your Communiqué of 9 April 2020, you explained that with the reform of the | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | EPO salary adjustment procedure “[t]here is no desire to cut staff purchasing | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | power or impose unnecessary savings” but “There is a desire, however, to | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | […] ensure salaries continue to grow, even above eurozone inflation”. | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The review of the six-year application of the procedure shows that instead of | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the expected long-term assumption of Eurozone inflation +0.2%, salaries have | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | grown by only Eurozone inflation -0.2% (-0.4% difference) since 2020 and the | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | chosen capping mechanism at Eurozone inflation +0.2% does not allow any | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | catch-up in the future. | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | In addition to that, the evolution of salaries of EPO staff in Munich lags behind | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | national inflation and the increase in costs of living in Munich resulting in a | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | loss of purchasing power. The benchmark with other International | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Organisations shows that the EPO has the worst salary adjustments. | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Your services did not design a method meeting the orientations of the Council | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nor the standards among International Organisations and cause a long-term | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | erosion of all staff benefits. | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I hereby request that the new salary adjustment procedure in 2026 corrects | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the damage caused to staff by restoring and maintaining purchasing power | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and meets the standards of other International Organisations. | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Sincerely yours, | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | xxx" | Nov 23 04:45 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "Already 300 colleagues sent the template email (DOCX or PDF) to the President. If you have not yet done so, please send the email to remind the President of his promises that staff would not lose purchasing power." | Nov 23 04:46 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | " | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes, apparently. Last I heard, Peoplesoft's "accounting" system had | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | no automated means to show account balances. It was all about funnymoney | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and creative accounting. It almost put some major universities out of | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | business because bill could not get paid ... for months at a time. | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | " | Nov 23 06:09 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | " | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Accidentally Peoplesoft allowed some great things: all the shitbirds flocked | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | from the IT depts to where the money was and were kept busy with unproductive | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "work" for almost a decade. That allowed the remaining, skilled people | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | to flourish. Unfortunately after that decade, Peoplesoft was thoroughly | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | entrenched and despite failing colossallym, was not written off as a failure | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | as it should have been. Instead the various universities threw more money | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at it and warped their institutions around its behaviour. Then came M$, Cisco, | Nov 23 06:12 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Oracle, and the otehr carpetbaggers. | Nov 23 06:12 |
