| schestowitz[TR2] | Your appraisal report: check it carefully! | Feb 01 07:57 |
|---|---|---|
| schestowitz[TR2] | "Dear members, dear colleagues, | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You will soon receive (or may have already received) your appraisal reports, also known as performance development reports. Appraisal reports are crucial documents that summarize your work at the EPO and serve as a basis for decisions related to careers, selection processes, and addressing underperformance. | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Given the current environment of high production demands and challenging objectives, we strongly recommend that you review your appraisal report carefully. If it does not accurately reflect your work in 2024, you should consider contesting it. | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This year, we would like to highlight the following concerns: | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Reports including references to “unacceptable”, “incompetence”, Articles 52, 53a, 53b, “(far) below”, ... | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Positive reports that still include negative ratings (e.g., "not met" or "partially met"). | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Reports submitted by Reporting Officers without providing sufficient opportunities for review before calibration by the Counter-Signing Officer. | Feb 01 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Please find further guidance in these slides. | Feb 01 07:57 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | <p>For those who love numbers and statistics, this represents a substantial leap from the 20 million lines recorded in mid-2015, effectively doubling its size in less than a decade. </p> | Feb 01 11:28 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | <p> It’s also worth mentioning that the Linux kernel contains much more code than its UNIX counterparts, such as OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD. </p> | Feb 01 11:28 |
