About a company called liveleak …

It’s not worth the keystrokes….

Atos Origin heeft haar ware gezicht opnieuw laten zien, en hebben weer gekozen om de medewerkers opnieuw met een kluitje in het riet te sturen, gelukkig zijn veel goede medewerkers inmiddels al opgestapt (ik kan gerust stellen dat in de kringen waar ik me begaf dit zeker 1:10 was). En er zullen er vast meer komen, maakt Atos Origin dat wat uit, nee natuurlijk niet, zolang de klanten blijven komen zal het ze een worst wezen, je trekt gewoon nog een paar apen van straat leert ze een truukje en iedereen is blij toch ?? Ik denk persoonlijk van niet, veel kennis gaat op deze manier verloren en hoe kun je je klant van dienst zijn zonder kennis ? even blijven drijven lukt wel, maar een schip wat water maakt gaat steeds sneller ten onder.

Wat is er nu gebeurd;

Begin februari werd hetzelfde voorstel al afgewezen door de bonden en de centrale ondernemingsraad (COR). Het voorstel was voor meer dan tachtig procent van de vakbondsleden onacceptabel. Atos Origin maakte gisteren bekend vast te houden aan hun plan en niet meer te onderhandelen met de bonden.

Het is hun goed recht natuurlijk om niet meer te onderhandelen met de bonden, maar dat is het zelfde als je medewerkers simpelweg vertellen dat ze het niet waard zijn.

Ik raad dan ook alle medewerkers van Atos Origin aan om zich zo snel mogelijk bij een bond in te schrijven, samen staan jullie sterk. De heren daar boven denken alleen aan hun eigen bonus die ze nog snel willen binnen slepen voordat de hedgefunds de boel verkopen aan een ander. En daar gaat om, niet om jullie kwaliteiten als medewerker, maar om de centen die ze aan jullie verdienen.

Update: met nog grotere onzin komt een HRM manager naar boven, eigenlijk om te lachen dat de concurentie positie van AO afhangt van deze paar procentjes zoals hij het zelf zegt, klanten opgelet, AO verliest dus hun concurentie postie al als een-derde van de personeels leden (Diegene die notabene het geld binnnen halen!) zo’n 1% tot 1,5% meer zouden krijgen. Raar toch, maar het zijn niet mijn woorden, maar die van mijnheer Blom van Atos Origin van HRM (Hele Rare Mensen)

Human Resource manager Hans Blom van Atos zegt het jammer te vinden dat het bod is afgewezen. Volgens hem blijft er door de eis van de bonden onvoldoende ruimte over om te differentiëren als de minimale loonsverhoging naar 3,5 procent verschuift. Hij wijst erop dat tweederde van werknemers bij de huidige regeling een verhoging van 3,5 procent of hoger krijgt. Eenderde valt in de groep van 2 tot 3,5 procent.

Volgens Blom zijn er genoeg concessies gedaan in de cao-onderhandlingen. “Het is niet alleen een kwestie van geven maar ook van nemen”, aldus Blom. Atos wil de werknemers nog een keer haar standpunt duidelijk gaan maken. Praten met de bonden zit er niet in. Dan kan er volgens Blom te weinig loondifferentiatie plaatsvinden waardoor uiteindelijk de concurrentiepositie van Atos in het geding komt.

The soap around the Korean hostages which where freed this week gets more and more interesting, it seems that Korea does pay terrorist to buy more weapons. Keeping a close eye on the developments but now the Taliban did announce that Korea is indeed paying 20 mil. dollar it seems they give in to terrorism.

Do I like those Korean hostages to be killed then ? no of course not, but they started a very risky journey and knew the dangers (you won’t be popular as a religious group which is despised by the Taliban) now these few Koreans will be responsible for a whole lot more people being killed because one thing is sure, the Taliban will not use these 20 million to buy food for their people, instead they will invest in weapons to kill innocent civilians and other military forces around them.

If this story is true, Korea funds a war against all the countries having a presence in Afghanistan. How is this possible?!?!

There is of course still the possibility that the Taliban lies about the money transfer, will update this article when new information comes around.

Lately a lot of news reach us about chinese playtoys which contain lots of toxics, a lot of people are blaming china for this but is this fair ? I do not believe it is fair to blame china, they need to be educated, however the big multinationals which did move their production to china to lower the production costs (by not having to follow the western laws and rules of producing a product) are the ones who make us and our children sick! we should ban these companies like Mattel and alike. As we say in dutch : Goedkoop is Duurkoop

While these are points which are discussed for a longer time, i want to write them down, just so i know, why i vote NO on anything which has to do with Europe.

1) US is allowed to request all out money transactions (yeah sure they say for terrorist investigations only, but guess that suddenly a lot of transactions are terrorist investigations), sorry i live in Europe not the US, why would the US need this for any reason ? As if China would give the US access to their banking system, i don’t think so!

2) US is allowed to blackmail Europe by the European union, again under disguise of terrorists the US is able to to request a lot of information of each passenger taking a flight from Europe to the USA. Worst part is the US threatened the European union they would not accept any flights from Europe anymore, now i for one would like to see that happening. And want to bet that such rule would be changed pretty fast for obvious reasons.

I know i do not live in Europe anymore, i do live in the United States of the World. But that doesn’t mean i like it.

It makes you wonder why we shift our jobs to countries like China and India, just for the quick gain, but what if they get all our jobs, would they pity us ? are we going to be the 3rd world country ? Nothing wrong with helping these countries, but, fact is, we need to eat too, are we prepared to give that all up, because some investors need to drive their brand new super car ? and live in castles? Personally i don’t believe so.

Two dutch internet providers decided to censor the internet, while i do understand their reasoning, i believe they make the wrong choices.

First of all i am against censoring the internet, but i would like to see criminal activities to be punished, this brings me in problem, as what i see as a criminal activity someone else in another country might not see it as criminal, or the same activity is even legal in another country. We are talking about the internet, this is not The Netherlands nor Europe, not USA, not Thailand nor any other Asian country, its simply the World community.

While we wrote some article about Jacques Chirac before we did get to hear he will speak to the french public tonight at 20:00GMT+1 speculations go he will announce, the end of his career in french politics, which according to me would be a wise decision, someone who wants to change world history (The vikings did discover the Americas) and says a country which has nuclear weapons isn’t dangerous, is not belonging in politics, but in a lunatic house and getting the right medication. We have to wait a bit, and then i can congratulate my french friends and welcome them to a new century.

It seems that Putin took the blue pill before he did start his speech yesterday in München, he told freely what I already thought about the US for many years, and probably for many years to come. It is indeed clear that US foreign policy seems to be more important as their internal policy, and these Americans all give a applause for it. Instead of focusing on internal problems, you see the US government point to other countries having ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (which doesn’t seem to be true anyways) while they play with the nukes themselves, how childish to say they are dangerous, while they got them their selves., protection they call it.. For what ? Those enemies the US did make over the years ? Wouldn’t be a good foreign policy be the solution to that ? Stop making us do what you want us to do. For once, i have to agree with Poetin, the US didn’t make the world a saver place, instead, they make it a more hateful place. Sad but true. Revealing isn’t it? Vladimir there is no spoon …

Well personally i think this guy is senile since he became president or maybe before that, but of course i never did hear of him before, guess thats a lack of my own mental abilities, but who cares, i am not the president of France.

Jacques Chirac did it again, Iran having a Nuke is not dangerous, maybe a second one isn’t either. While the official policy of France is that they are against it.

Now everyone is much against the first statement Chirac made, that it wouldn’t be dangerous if Iran would have a Nuke, but what bothers me most is that France, a nuclear power themselves which tested loads of those nukes themselves is making such a fuss about it. France always tries to play the innocent, but in fact they are the biggest criminals of Europe if it comes to nuclear powers.

Another nice fact is that today in Paris some people think its necessary to start a conference about the raising temperatures on earth, i would say knock on Chiracs door and blame the idiot for it by playing with nukes instead of blaming the people. One test of a nuke does more damage as the power we use.

So Jacques, are you getting senile or what?
