Welcome to this latest edition of the Generation 2004 newsletter. We look at the issues raised by the closure of buildings and planned reduction in office temperatures [1] in Luxembourg and Brussels. In a less serious note, we present the future of workwear for the office [2] and potentially also for home, to try to counter the increasing cost of utilities [3]. Our training on resilience at work [4] is unrelated to the Commission’s building policy, but every little helps! In other news, Luxembourg is consistently being promoted as a good place to live [5], but is this the whole story? The big story is that most (but not all staff) will see an adjustment to their salaries [6]. Unfortunately, some of our colleagues in delegations are again left behind, whether in terms of the salary adjustment, inflation [7] or the possibilities of working from home [8]. Again on the topic of delegations, our colleagues in Kyiv have also been invited to [9] return physically to the office by the end of this month.
That’s it now for now! Enjoy the reading and get in touch [10] if you believe we can help!
