Newsletter editorial – 16-03-2022

Welcome to the Generation 2004 Newsletter. Today we mark 2 years of mandatory teleworking [1] for most of us: we discuss the ongoing and increasing costs of teleworking and digital overload. We also take a look at the situation in Ukraine for colleagues [2] who remain there (we are still collecting signatures to support our list of actions [3]) and clarify the rules on volunteering [4]. Continuing with Outside the Union, we present the court case won by local agent colleagues in Turkey [5] and note that today is the last day for many local agents to submit their self-assessment text [6]. We consider the perfect storm of the (latest) return to the office and infrastructure upgrades in Luxembourg [7]: many of us will feel the benefit eventually … We invite you to compare actions taken with the words expressed in the context of International Women’s Day [8] and on the topic of action, those of you in Brussels of Luxembourg why not join us for a walk outside [9]?

So, that’s it for this edition, thanks to all of you for your support, ideas and feedback: please keep it coming! If there’s a topic you’d like to see us tackle, whether as an article or as an event, please get in touch [10]!

Take care, stay healthy and enjoy reading!
