schestowitz[TR]Dear colleagues,Feb 28 05:43
schestowitz[TR]In his Communiqué of 14 February 2023, Mr Campinos presented his Guidelines on Rewards 2023 as an improvement. However, in real terms, the number of potential steps and promotions decreases (-8,2%) compared to 2022 and the budget for steps and promotions decreases (-6,4%) compared to the budget approved by the Administrative Council (CA/D 1/22).Feb 28 05:43
schestowitz[TR]The focus on bonuses rather than on career progression confirms that management is not willing to invest in EPO staff in the long term.Feb 28 05:43
schestowitz[TR]This policy seems unsustainable at a time when production is behind plan, quality has decreased to unbearable levels for our users and the "Bringing Teams Together" project causes staff disengagement.Feb 28 05:43
schestowitz[TR]This paper gives more details."Feb 28 05:43

schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>There’s no doubt that TikTok and ByteDance, the company that owns it, are shady. They, like most large corporations in China, operate at the pleasure of the Chinese government. They collect extreme levels of information about users. But they’re not alone: Many apps you use do the same, including Facebook and Instagram, along with seemingly innocuous apps that have no need for the data. Feb 28 13:13
schestowitz[TR]Your data is bought and sold by data brokers you’ve never heard of who have few scruples about where the data ends up. They have digital dossiers on most people in the United States.</p>Feb 28 13:13
schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>If we want to address the real problem, we need to enact serious privacy laws, not security theater, to stop our data from being collected, analyzed, and sold—by anyone. Such laws would protect us in the long term, and not just from the app of the week. They would also prevent data breaches and ransomware attacks from spilling our data out into the digital underworld, including hacker mesFeb 28 13:13
schestowitz[TR]sage boards and chat servers, hostile state actors, and outside hacker groups. And, most importantly, they would be compatible with our bedrock values of free speech and commerce, which Congress’s current strategies are not.</p>Feb 28 13:13

schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>More broadly, there are some signs on the horizon that point to increasing difficulties for ransomware actors. Intel 471 is seeing fewer ransomware victims enter into chat negotiation portals. This observation aligns with data collected by Coveware, which specializes in ransomware negotiations, and Chainalysis, both of which recently published research heralding a sharp drop in ransoms paidFeb 28 13:14

schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>Our previous apartment was situated by a bus bay, where drivers would routinely park their boxy conveyances to make loud rattling sounds. Steam locomotives take many hours to “fire up” after ignition, so I assumed Sydney buses used the same engines. Why else would they idle for hours at a time wasting fuel and silence?</p>Feb 28 14:04
