The main reason for discontent with the EPO present administration led by Mr. Campinos during the last four years follows his flawed Financial Study of 2019 made by Oliver Wyman & Mercer and the consequent reforms. The new salary adjustment procedure causes a disastrous immediate and long-term loss of purchasing power and denies the massive efforts made by [17:36] schestowitz EPO staff during the last two pandemic years. [17:36] schestowitz The inflation in the Netherlands of 11.2% and in Germany of 7.8% over the last 12 months accounts for far more than a double step reward (on average 1 step equals 2%). Less than 60% of eligible staff (actually less than 50% of all staff) may receive a single step let alone a double step this year. This is the worst year in the career of EPO staff which comes at the time when staff worked diligently through the worst pandemic of the century and [17:36] schestowitz the worst inflation since the EPO inception. [17:36] schestowitz The Work-to-Rule Actions are proving successful and the Focus on search actions is effective. The actions are drawing the attention of the Administrative Council and external stakeholders thereby persuading management to take staffs concerns seriously. Actions continue.
