Mit zunehmender Länge einer Online-Diskussion nähert sich die Wahrscheinlichkeit für einen Vergleich mit den Nazis oder Hitler dem Wert Eins an.

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.

In March 2020 we were in our offices, factories, schools, shops, theatres, doing our business. We had heard that there was a new lung disease in China, but…
Social Media-Falle
Was war ich so stolz, als ich im Dezember 2005 über einen Clifford Chance-Kollegen in New York sven.richert@gmail.com für mich registrieren konnte. Damals™ war es noch Stand der Technik, dass man sein Passwort häufig ändert. Ich ändert also immer mal wieder mein Passwort für dieses Google-Konto und irgendetwas ging das schief, das war 2008. Zwei Jahre lang habe ich versucht, wieder Zugriff auf „mein“ Konto zu bekommen – vergeblich. Auf meine Anfragen per E-Mail habe ich überhaupt keine Antworten bekommen, eine Telefon-Hotline gab und gibt es nicht und Website-Support auch nicht. Über einen anderen Ex-Kollegen aus Washington, der zwischenzeitlich einer der unzähligen Google Vice Presidents geworden war, habe ich versucht, zu eskalieren. Erfolglos. Er teilte mir lapidar mit, dass man ihm gesagt habe, dass ich als Deutscher ja gar nicht Inhaber des Kontos sein könne (s.o.).

Say Their Names
Exactly one year ago, a right-wing extremist shot nine fellow citizens in my neighbourhood, in Hanau, for racist reasons. #SayTheirNames Nesar was born, in school, studied, worked here, it was his Heimat. He had tattooed the postcode!
