Welcome to the Generation 2004 Newsletter. We continue on the topic of the career development review (CDR) process with a look at the options available in response to an evaluation of ‘unsatisfactory’ [1]: we’re here for you! Career development is also one of the issues we raised in our contract agent petition [2]: it is with the European Parliament, please sign it (again)!
We warmly thank all of you who voted in this last year, particularly those of you who voted for us! [3] Generation 2004 presents the results of the most recent election: Brussels and representations. We also present the mixed messages on the working time and hybrid working decision concerning the core time used by many DGs in Luxembourg [4]. Does this affect you? Please remember too (particularly those who’ve seen utilities and accommodation increase in price) that our Survey on rise in energy bills for those working from home [5]is still open, please participate!
Generation 2004 is again recruiting! We have an opening for a secretary [6] to join our team. We would also like anyone in delegations who is interested in getting involved in elections [7] there to get in touch.
We continue to offer training and events: there are new training dates for those planning to retire soon [8]. And any of you finding yourselves in Brussels or Luxembourg (even just for a day!), come for a walk with us [9]; let’s get outside and away from our screens!
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!
