DST Confusion

It’s this time of the year again. Working in a global environment, at some point, you’ll be confronted with the daylight saving time confusion. One example: We have a daily meeting, invited by a colleague from the US and scheduled for 2pm my time - usually. During two weeks in March and October my calendar is messed up, because the US already saves daylight, while Europe doesn’t and vice-versa. The meeting is suddenly one hour earlier - conflicting with other appointments I have scheduled for this time.

Office vs. "Home-Office"

In a few days, my parental leave comes to an end and I will go back to work. This will confront me with the question how much time I want to spend in office or work remotely. Time for reflection. The situation Before Corona, on paper, we were allowed to work one day per week remotely. In reality, this flexibility did not exist. Working from home was considered an additional day off.

🥂 Happy New Year

Dear Reader, a new year has started. I couldn’t find the time to write a 2023 review yet - a lot has happened - but I still wanted to wish you, and your loved ones, a Happy New Year. May it bring many joyful experiences. I am really looking forward to continue writing here and read your awesome blogs. I really love reading them all. Thank you.

Home Alone & Rich

It’s that time of the year, where I enjoy watching „Home Alone“. It’s one of those Christmas Movies warming my heart. Every time I watch it, I wonder how crazy rich the McAllisters are if they can afford traveling from Chicago to Paris over Christmas with 15 people, four of them in first class. Lucky me I don’t have to wonder anymore: the NYT asked three economists to estimate the wealth of Kevin’s family.
