01:04 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.lexology.com | Current situation with regard to unitary patent system - Commentary - Lexology

01:04 schestowitz; " The aim of the unitary patent system is to offer users a cost-effective option for patent protection and dispute settlement across the participating EU member states. The system is expected to be up and running by the second half of 2022 or the start of 2023. It remains to be seen how the member states of the Unitary Patent Court will deal with the various outstanding issues. "

01:23 schestowitz-TR; today in irc I shared the first of several installmnents on internal company affa

01:23 schestowitz-TR; irs

01:23 schestowitz-TR; company names and people redacted

01:23 schestowitz-TR; i will follow with more in days to come

01:23 schestowitz-TR; i am not leaving because at the moment i di one hour per shift of actual work

01:23 schestowitz-TR; that's for a net pay of about 85 pounds, net for the hour

01:23 schestowitz-TR; assuming 40% tax rate for high earners I'd have to work 40 hours a week

01:23 schestowitz-TR; at annual 3000,000 to get this rate, after tax

01:23 schestowitz-TR; bosses know I am very pissed off

01:23 schestowitz-TR; and will not pressure me

07:34 Techrights-sec; how much leverage is there to get the bosses to reform?

07:35 schestowitz-TR; already managed to get rid of 'sarin gas' along with some of the BS she had introduced

07:35 schestowitz-TR; like using a timetracker (akin to timesheet)

07:40 Techrights-sec; timetrackers are counterproductive

07:43 schestowitz-TR; from memory (we phased this out twice in the past):

07:43 schestowitz-TR; 1. loss of productivity

07:43 schestowitz-TR; 2. loss of concentratiop

07:43 schestowitz-TR; 3. instead foi you doing what you actually need to do

07:43 schestowitz-TR; you begin to 'optimise' work based on what helps "look" good

07:43 schestowitz-TR; iow, gaming the system

07:43 schestowitz-TR; so fradulent time "shits" [sic]

07:43 schestowitz-TR; that actively harm the service

07:43 schestowitz-TR; and make workers less hapoppy

07:50 Techrights-sec; those are the unspoken goals :(

07:50 Techrights-sec; those that are best about lying about their hours have the "best" time sheets.

07:50 Techrights-sec; Otherwise tasks take the time they take and some are completely sooner and others

07:50 Techrights-sec; later, but only those that fudge or outright lie end up with the "right" numbers

07:50 Techrights-sec; .

07:51 schestowitz-TR; it becomes a system which rewards dishonesty

07:51 schestowitz-TR; or, put another way,

07:51 schestowitz-TR; the liars who introduce such a system

07:51 schestowitz-TR; basically compel staff to follow through with the lies

07:56 Techrights-sec; yes, very much so and, I would say, that is one of the unspoken goals

07:57 schestowitz-TR; lower them to our level, and now they have leverage on the rest

07:57 schestowitz-TR; "you accuse me of lying, but [...]"

07:57 schestowitz-TR; BTW, I've just suink redacted notes onto "bytes"

07:57 schestowitz-TR; I now limit my work to about an hour a go

07:57 schestowitz-TR; *a day

8 AM, February 22

08:15 Techrights-sec; I would think that the goal would be to reform the management even if that

08:15 Techrights-sec; is a large task

08:15 schestowitz-TR; I wanted to carry on fighting, but told rianne it would take a lot of energy and more importantly time

08:16 schestowitz-TR; and i'm not eager to waste more than an hour a day on this job

08:16 schestowitz-TR; in fact, I've liberated myself from refraining to do things while on shift

08:16 schestowitz-TR; knowing they have little or no leverage on the matter

08:16 schestowitz-TR; as they cannot find replacements

18:44 Techrights-sec; " in a ballot which closed last night 84% voted in favour " more background

18:44 Techrights-sec; on the ballot needed in the summary so that it is clear there and in the

18:44 Techrights-sec; second paragraph that the staff oppose the illegal maneuvering towards the

18:44 Techrights-sec; illegal EPC

18:44 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I will add clarity, much time left before encoding is done
