The EPO is a Very Vicious Organisation You Neither Wish to Join Nor Stay in for "Too Long"
The EPO don't value holidays either; its leaders are more Satanic than sympathetic/empathetic (sentiments they patently lack) and aggravation against sceptics/critics is "the new coke"
Today it's a holiday and tomorrow will be Boxing Day, but I've decided that as "new year's resolutions" loom the time to say this is right now.
Today, while jogging at the park, I realised we'd definitely want to cover antisemitism in top-level EPO management. We'll come to this at some point. We have evidence of it and we don't want to keep the "Mafia" 'off the hook' so to speak. We'll name and shame those responsible for offensive behaviour and we'll describe the bullying, the mobbing, even if we keep pertinent evidence to ourselves (in order to protect our sources).
Just before Benoît Battistelli left the EPO he engaged in yet another intolerant attack on national or Christian holidays at the Office (especially in Germany, where Lutheran holidays can also be national, as in city-wide and nation-wide holidays). They are. UNLESS you work for the EPO. António Campinos never corrected this (he does not follow the values of Christianity anyway, his greed and bad mouth make him more anti-Christ-like; sniff-sniff). We still have many articles about this and the staff representation spoke about this matter repeatedly. To no avail.
Consider what the EPO thinks of its own workers, the staff that actually does real work and doesn't go on paid holiday (about 20,000 euros per month) for 6 months as a reward for getting busted with cocaine.
If you work for the EPO, join the industrial action. Defend your colleagues, not the masters who work for Microsoft et al (they help those companies colonise Europe with the aid of patent monopolies).
The time seems right because of "new year's resolutions". Do you want to work for mobsters like these?
To the EPO, your holidays mean zilch, nada. They're just an opportunity to discriminate against people, insult them (e.g. threats during holidays for emotional effect) and worse. This won't change. █
