01:04 -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-www.lexology.com | Current situation with regard to unitary patent system - Commentary - Lexology
01:04 schestowitz; " The aim of the unitary patent system is to offer users a cost-effective option for patent protection and dispute settlement across the participating EU member states. The system is expected to be up and running by the second half of 2022 or the start of 2023. It remains to be seen how the member states of the Unitary Patent Court will deal with the various outstanding issues. "
01:05 schestowitz; BS
01:05 schestowitz; Lies
01:23 schestowitz-TR; today in irc I shared the first of several installmnents on internal company affa
01:23 schestowitz-TR; irs
01:23 schestowitz-TR; company names and people redacted
01:23 schestowitz-TR; i will follow with more in days to come
01:23 schestowitz-TR; i am not leaving because at the moment i di one hour per shift of actual work
01:23 schestowitz-TR; that's for a net pay of about 85 pounds, net for the hour
01:23 schestowitz-TR; assuming 40% tax rate for high earners I'd have to work 40 hours a week
01:23 schestowitz-TR; at annual 3000,000 to get this rate, after tax
01:23 schestowitz-TR; bosses know I am very pissed off
01:23 schestowitz-TR; and will not pressure me
01:27 *Despatche has quit (Quit: Read error: Connection reset by deer)
03:41 *DaemonFC has quit (connection closed)
03:55 *Techrights-sec has quit (Ping timeout: 120 seconds)
03:57 *Techrights-sec (~quassel@joseon-j7a7ih.am6e.nqgd.t29qgt.IP) has joined #boycottnovell
07:34 Techrights-sec; how much leverage is there to get the bosses to reform?
07:35 schestowitz-TR; already managed to get rid of 'sarin gas' along with some of the BS she had introduced
07:35 schestowitz-TR; like using a timetracker (akin to timesheet)
07:40 Techrights-sec; timetrackers are counterproductive
07:43 schestowitz-TR; from memory (we phased this out twice in the past):
07:43 schestowitz-TR; 1. loss of productivity
07:43 schestowitz-TR; 2. loss of concentratiop
07:43 schestowitz-TR; 3. instead foi you doing what you actually need to do
07:43 schestowitz-TR; you begin to 'optimise' work based on what helps "look" good
07:43 schestowitz-TR; iow, gaming the system
07:43 schestowitz-TR; so fradulent time "shits" [sic]
07:43 schestowitz-TR; that actively harm the service
07:43 schestowitz-TR; and make workers less hapoppy
07:50 Techrights-sec; those are the unspoken goals :(
07:50 Techrights-sec; those that are best about lying about their hours have the "best" time sheets.
07:50 Techrights-sec; Otherwise tasks take the time they take and some are completely sooner and others
07:50 Techrights-sec; later, but only those that fudge or outright lie end up with the "right" numbers
07:50 Techrights-sec; .
07:51 schestowitz-TR; it becomes a system which rewards dishonesty
07:51 schestowitz-TR; or, put another way,
07:51 schestowitz-TR; the liars who introduce such a system
07:51 schestowitz-TR; basically compel staff to follow through with the lies
07:56 Techrights-sec; yes, very much so and, I would say, that is one of the unspoken goals
07:57 schestowitz-TR; lower them to our level, and now they have leverage on the rest
07:57 schestowitz-TR; "you accuse me of lying, but [...]"
07:57 schestowitz-TR; BTW, I've just suink redacted notes onto "bytes"
07:57 schestowitz-TR; I now limit my work to about an hour a go
07:57 schestowitz-TR; *a day
08:15 Techrights-sec; I would think that the goal would be to reform the management even if that
08:15 Techrights-sec; is a large task
08:15 schestowitz-TR; I wanted to carry on fighting, but told rianne it would take a lot of energy and more importantly time
08:16 schestowitz-TR; and i'm not eager to waste more than an hour a day on this job
08:16 schestowitz-TR; in fact, I've liberated myself from refraining to do things while on shift
08:16 schestowitz-TR; knowing they have little or no leverage on the matter
08:16 schestowitz-TR; as they cannot find replacements

18:44 Techrights-sec; " in a ballot which closed last night 84% voted in favour " more background
18:44 Techrights-sec; on the ballot needed in the summary so that it is clear there and in the
18:44 Techrights-sec; second paragraph that the staff oppose the illegal maneuvering towards the
18:44 Techrights-sec; illegal EPC
18:44 schestowitz-TR; thanks, I will add clarity, much time left before encoding is done
