Sabotaging the Workplace

Summary: Workforce of the European Patent Office (EPO) is up in arms over so-called 'reforms' that feel like deliberate punishment that curtails actual work, reduces productivity, and results in much worse quality of work

THE STAFF of the EPO has long pointed out that Benoît Battistelli made the EPO a far less attractive workplace like it was his actual objective to do so. António Campinos, a French friend of Battistelli (for well over a decade), is just doing the same thing. Days ago, July 1st, marked 5 years or one term since one saboteur passed the baton to the next saboteur. This second saboteur even bribed all the voters to give him another 5 years in charge. Corruption has become the normal. Crime is to be expected. Look no further than what the European Union did only days ago regarding the Unified Patent Court. This isn't a legal system but an illegal system, which is being shoehorned with help from bribed media (like JUVE) and infiltrated publishers.

The video above mostly focuses on the many different ways in which the workplace got worse. We plan to publish a lot more about the EPO until the end of this week.
