| schestowitz | November 13, 2023 at 6:35 pm | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | lovely post that EPO’s PR department could have written. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Well done | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | PS: do not hesitate to join EPO’s paradise for a ride: they are desperately looking for capable and loyal recruits. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | one of those... | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | November 14, 2023 at 6:47 pm | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Yes, bt then, the actions of management regarding acknowledgement of staff speak much louder than their words. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | See last paragraph: when will my staff representation be allowed to send me messages? | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Without fear of disciplinary procedures? | Nov 17 15:30 |

| schestowitz | Dear Law Sniffer, | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | EPO examiners are knowledge workers. It is next to impossible to check their work with reasonable effort. Better keep them happy, otherwise, quality may drop and you will not notice it. Quality has already dropped, and one reason is of course staff motivation. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | It appears that EPO management is driving staff motivation further down by ignoring not only recommendations from its internal appeal committee, but also by ignoring an ILO-AT judgment. Bad communication and perceived lack of interest of EPO management also play a role. In short, the EPO turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to staff. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | You may have overlooked that the report does not ask for financial benefits. The report criticizes the approach from EPO management towards several issues highly relevant for staff. You may also have overlooked that the majority of EPO employees left their home country to work elsewhere. This is a high commitment, and people rightly expect to be treated with respect. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | The increasing gap between staff and management needs to be addressed. The current president was elected to close the gap and to restore social peace. The public and applicants should be kept informed of the progress on this tasl. You ask to stop reporting the bad news, basically, you shoot the messenger. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | The tone of your comment suggests that you are jealous about the EPO package. Feel free to apply. If you decide not to apply, then please refrain from further complaints. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Concerned observer | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | November 13, 2023 at 12:12 pm | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Question: what is the TRUE financial position of the EPO? | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | More pertinently, how is it possible to square the circle between the gloomy PREDICTIONS in the “financial studies” commissioned by the EPO and the much healthier picture that emerges from each publication of ACTUAL financial results? | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | This question has bugged me since the 2019 report, which relied upon a nonsensical assumption (ie no increases in EPO official fees over the course of about a decade) to predict large holes in the EPO’s finances. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | If SUEPO is correct, then those apparent holes have already been filled. Moreover, the above-mentioned annual report from SUEPO states that “It should be noted that the real finances of the EPO published every quarter and the actual results of the RFPSS and EPOTIF point to the excellent financial health of the EPO”. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | If this is true, then what will be the overall effect of regular hikes in the EPO’s official fees (including some significant increases in “early” renewal fees), combined with continued efforts by management to suppress the EPO’s cost base? Can we assume that an already healthy financial position will become even healthier? If so, what an earth does the EPO intend to do with the vast wealth that it is steadily accumulating? | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Caballero | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | November 13, 2023 at 5:49 pm | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | Applications are up, grants are down, resulting in: | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | 1. a growing backlog of pending applications. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | 2. more stress on the examiners and ever decreasing work conditions. | Nov 17 15:30 |
| schestowitz | I guess the EPO just needs more examiners and raise the official fees in order to pay them. | Nov 17 15:30 |
