First of all, Generation 2004 wishes you a great year in 2025 and will continue to fight to make your voices heard. Welcome to the first edition of the Newsletter for 2025. In this edition, we cover various topics that affect your daily life and career. We start by exploring the blurred lines between personal and professional life, particularly when it comes to mobile phones [1] (check the recording of our online conference). We discuss how the burden of cost-saving measures [2] is increasingly being shifted onto staff. Moreover, navigating the complexities of work-life balance is crucial, as highlighted in our coverage of the JSIS [3]. Speaking of career advancement, we provide tips on how to increase your chances of getting a promotion or reclassification [4] in 2025. For those of you keen to plan the year ahead, check the article on flexibility days 2025 [5]. Meanwhile, significant changes are underway in European Schools [6]. Furthermore, the EEAS emphasises the need for clear responsibilities and support for Heads of Delegations, [7]sheds light on the issue of cold temperatures [8] in EEAS Offices and informs you on the performance appraisals exercise for 2025 [9]. Finally, we remind you about the certification [10] deadlines, invite you to sign the petition [11] on the restructuring of Delegations and discuss the alarming reality of working for free [12]. Last but not least, check our training offer with our partner Yasemos [13] Europeos, on the EPSO competition for AD5 – Translators [14].
That’s all for now!
