| schestowitz | <blockquote><p> | Jun 17 00:55 |
| schestowitz | While dealing with some tough moments and situations in the past few months, I've begun to explore the area. Some of the discoveries have become places of great sentimental value to me. | Jun 17 00:55 |
| schestowitz | I began personal therapy several weeks ago, whose sessions are scheduled near the end of the workday. Of course it would be inappropriate to discuss personal issues at my workplace, so I found a park close to my office that I can quickly drive to before session started. I've now attended the majority of my therapy sessions while sitting in my car at that park. As a result, that park has become a metaphorical place where I can speak my mind openly | Jun 17 00:55 |
| schestowitz | and frankly. I almost don't want to go back there under other circumstances. | Jun 17 00:55 |

| schestowitz | Education allowance portal - Advice by SUEPO for staff requesting advancement of the tuition fees | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Dear SUEPO members, dear colleagues, | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Jun 17 20:31 | |
| schestowitz | SUEPO advises all staff requesting advancement of the tuition fees to introduce into the comment box of the education allowance portal the following disclaimer – after being adapted to your situation - to keep your right to challenge the discretionary request by the administration to reduce the amount of the tuition fees. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Jun 17 20:31 | |
| schestowitz | Please use the following text: | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | The tuition fees in the attached invoice are € XXXXX. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | I have initially claimed this amount, but my request bounced back, and I was informed that I must claim € YYYYY instead, because a € ZZZ deduction applies to [fill in the reason given by HR]. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | Given the timeline of events and my absolute and urgent need for the advancement to pay the school fees (as I cannot afford paying this amount without the advancement of a minimum amount from the Office), I do as instructed and claim the indicated value but I do not wave my right to challenge the decision to deduct part of the amount to be reimbursed for the school fees under Title VIII of the ServRegs and request a dully motivated individual | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | decision to be made under Article 106 of the ServRegs. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | This deduction to the school fees has been introduced as a last-minute obligation rendering it impossible to understand at this point if it is in line with the transitional measures and I consider that the Office is misleading me by concealing crucial information from me. In any case I need to receive the advancement with my salary of this month to be able to pay the school. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | In case, you have already submitted your request via the portal, and you cannot edit it anymore, SUEPO advises staff to send an e-mail to HR with the same content. Make clear reference to the date you sent the request, to the date and reference (if any) to the e-mail received by HR requesting to deduct the specific amount. | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | " | Jun 17 20:31 |
| schestowitz | " We’re pleased to announce that SUEPO TH members now have yet another tool to improve their communication with the Union. Our hope is that this will prove to be a step towards a more informed, proactive union life and in doing so help and support you as you navigate the EPO’s career and pension." | Jun 17 20:31 |
