Executive Board: ‘Take a break’

Executive Board:  ‘Take a break’

Let us try to spare each other this year, the Executive Board wrote this week in an email to all employees. “December is traditionally the time when everyone tries to clear their own inbox, deal with everything on their to-do list, or spend the remaining budget. But what goes out of one person’s inbox often becomes the next person’s problem. Many of these things can probably wait until mid-January, or maybe we can even skip a year.”

The Executive Board urges everyone to relax as much as they can during the holiday season. “We are all tired. We are tired of coronavirus, but also genuinely tired of working hard under these unprecedented circumstances. […] Take as much time off as you can during the three weeks around Christmas and the New Year.”

TU Delft will celebrate its 179th year in the new year. “The Executive Board members want to set a good example: the celebration that was originally planned for 8 January has been postponed to 15 January. So the week starting 11 January will be dedicated to our Dies Natalis, more news of which will follow later.”
