09:29 schestowitz; When it comes to operating systems, Im a floater. I may use an Android phone full-time these days, but Im a Mac user who flirts with both Linux and Windows throughout the day. And while you wont 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

Can it make me float between operating systems a little less? Ernie @ Tedium

13:18 schestowitz; Work pressure and micromanagement - Are you suffering at work? Contact health practitioner and staff representation

13:18 schestowitz; Dear colleagues,

13:18 schestowitz;

13:18 schestowitz; Due to under recruitment [1] the pressure to produce has been increasing over the years[2].

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...

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...

13:18 schestowitz; We would like to remind all colleagues that:

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

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.
