12:10 schestowitz; On 30 March 2022, EPO staff was invited to participate in a DG4 All Together online event. In the meeting, Mr Campinos and Ms Simon (VP4) self-celebrated their achievements and consistently mixed environmental and societal sustainability with financial sustainability in an attempt to shed a positive light on their cuts on career and salaries. During the Q&A session , staff took the opportunity to express their concerns about the reward exercise
12:10 schestowitz; excluding at least 40% of staff from any career progression.
12:10 schestowitz;
12:10 schestowitz; In this paper, you can find how our top management reacted.
12:10 schestowitz;
12:10 schestowitz; After 4 years at the EPO, Mr Campinos would be well-advised to listen to his new EPO staff on the many pitfalls of the New Career System which has no equivalent among other international organisations and treats EPO staff as third class civil servants. Despite having closed the alleged gap of the Financial Study 2019, management continues to allege financial sustainability to continue to make unjustified cuts on staffs
12:10 schestowitz; career and salaries regardless of their efforts instead of working on the sustainability of the workforce, the most valuable asset of the EPO.
