You already know that I know nothing about football. I have to quote the next best English ex-kicker to be able to say something about it. But I do know something about Tech. And as a German, of course, I also know about Data Protection. The Corona-Warn-App (which we proudly helped with) is now a year old and, in my eyes, a huge success!
Football is a simple game (4)
Football is a simple game; 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win.
Football is a simple game, 22 men chase the ball for 82 minutes and the Germans get a player sent off so 21 men chase the ball for 13 minutes and at the end the Germans somehow fucking win.
Think the old ‘and at the end the Germans always win’ quote might have to be retired.
But as we know, the Germans always…

The weather this week is fantastic! We’ve been able to play tennis outside for a few weeks, our public outdoor pool is open again and we’ve already been lane swimming twice. I’ve also been out to eat at a restaurant with my wife once. Many people in my bubble have been vaccinated once, some already fully. In the family all those who want to and can also at least once.

Working from Home (21)
Yesterday we were all in the office together as a team for the first time in over a year. We tested with spit self-tests provided by Clifford Chance to all employees who need or want to come into the office. After all the tests came back negative, as expected, we sat in our famous/notorious Innovation & Best Delivery Hub for several hours and worked together. The hub is big enough that we can sit at a distance. It faces the quiet courtyard and has floor-to-ceiling windows that can be opened wide. Well, we didn’t just work in a concentrated way, we also just talked about private and personal things and practiced our social skills. It was great and we plan to repeat it at least once a month while we are still working mostly from home due to the pandemic.
Improving diversity and inclusion by recording and reporting data?
in the last few days I read a lot about diversity dashboards as a new instrument to improve diversity and inclusion in work environments.
This may work in the UK or in the US.
But in Germany, it is culturally unimaginable just to ask employees about their race or ethnic origin, their religion (beyond what is necessary to do pay role/or if the employer is a church) or belief, their sexual orientation or identity, or any other potentially diverse attribute. It is strictly forbidden to record and evaluate this in personnel information systems. Interestingly, gender has always been recorded and evaluated. Probably because it was needed in the past to address the employee formally in German.
