| schestowitz[TR2] | All the while, the EPO has been “reforming” the Amicale. The 76-year-old staff association in charge of social activities all year round has been “internalised”, i.e. its independence strongly reduced and the administrative hurdles multiplied. During negotiations with the Amicale, the administration showed little willingness to invest in the association, in particular when it came to time budget for non-examiners, in contra | May 23 06:05 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Only working one badge per day ? That's really inadequate in these times of Quantum AI upskilling - you should be getting 3 badges in a day or you'll be on a PIP so fast it will make your head spin.
