| schestowitz | <p>When it comes to operating systems, I’m a floater. I may use an Android phone full-time these days, but I’m a Mac user who flirts with both Linux and Windows throughout the day. And while you won’t catch me dead with a phone with a Lightning port, I have found room for a five-year-old iPad Pro in my life, particularly when cooking or cleaning. But it has problems, particularly in the form | Apr 30 09:29 |
| schestowitz | of lock-in it encourages. So, I’ve been known to look for alternatives in weird spots. Today’s Tedium, with all that in mind, is a review of the OnePlus Pad, a new entrant into the tablet realm that knows a thing or two about fast charging. Can it make me float between operating systems a little less? — Ernie @ Tedium</p> | Apr 30 09:29 |

| schestowitz | Work pressure and micromanagement - Are you suffering at work? Contact health practitioner and staff representation | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | Dear colleagues, | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | Apr 30 13:18 | |
| schestowitz | Due to under recruitment [1] the pressure to produce has been increasing over the years[2]. | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | We have been made aware of colleagues – whose work was previously often recognized, appreciated and rewarded - now being put more and more under intense scrutiny by their line management. This can take many forms, e.g. constant reminders to increase the production pace, repeated seemingly over-zealous quality checks, relentless micromanagement, part-time request rejections, etc... | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | Although this situation is affecting most colleagues, we note a pattern that certain groups seem to be particularly targeted: colleagues in higher grades who are apparently being told that they are “being paid too much”, colleagues who are more fragile due to health conditions or having young children, colleagues on 5 -year contracts, etc... | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | We would like to remind all colleagues that: | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | - if your work is affecting your health – trouble sleeping, headaches, exhaustion…- you should contact your general practitioner and OHS and consider taking sick leave; and | Apr 30 13:18 |
| schestowitz | - if you feel that you are being targeted by your line management, you are not the only one and you should contact your staff representation as soon as possible. | Apr 30 13:18 |
