Their plan is definitely to leave locations where working conditions are not in their favor. Not so lol for the people losing their jobs, though right? :-(

So, Werchter '23 is over. This was the first edition I was planning to not go. Didn't regret it it, too few of the old gang managed to get there. So now I'm officially old :-)

The measures planned for Huntsman include reducing the presence in several European countries. “As too Moving to facilities that reflect the company’s future needs and an intention to move some jobs to new locations note that is HQ (not a plant, ie driven by energy costs). Also note that they reference inflation, but this 'only' impacts this place by means of wage cost. The HQ is being relocated to a place with 'better' conditions (in the EU for now, but mainly Poland).

I do wonder how effective this would be if for example a multinational can simply withdraw from Belgium or even the EU :-( Even if the argument was made that it was more efficient or at least not less efficient than the status quo, a lot of these companies have a very heavy US-biased view on work-life-balance (see for for example the current RTO initiatives as well).

I think it depends on your personal state of mind. Some people might enjoy being deconnected more and others just the additional 'buffer' of time around worktime.

I found that even one additional hour per day to spend on family and enjoyment was improving my work output in a way that it almost negated the one hour of worktime lost.

Thanks! I hope your Lemmy instance thrives and achieves what you intended!

I thought as much, no harm in being nice, when in doubt :-)

Hmm, sounds tasty :-) but Dutch, French or German would also work for me :-)

 

It's been a while since my regular group got together and I was wondering whether anyone here is also looking for the same around Leuven. I'm open to GM or not, system also doesn't matter too much.
