The nice thing about joining is that you get to know many new and interesting employees. Circulated. Handshakes here, pats on the back there. All in all: great goodwill and praise in advance.
The less pleasant thing is that you sometimes receive gifts that you no longer know what to do with. It looks like her Aunt Emma’s 80th birthday party. You have to go through it smiling so as not to fall into eternal shame. With Aunt Emma and the rest of the family.
A puzzle wrapped in plush
Fortunately, the new Minister of Health Elisabeth Baume-Schneider (60) almost never stops laughing. At the beginning of this week she will visit the Federal Office for Public Health (BAG). Instead of the usual bouquet of flowers, the minister expected a fluffy surprise.
A plush Listeria (made in China)! Cuddly, blue, with sweet button eyes. And yet a bit bizarre. Listeria is a bacterium. They occur everywhere in nature and can cause diseases such as fever, nausea and diarrhea.
Was that a secret message to Baume-Schneider for her upcoming duties in office? “We are all contagious,” perhaps? Or: “You are sick”? A mystery wrapped in plush!
“I look forward to working together”
Perhaps listeria is just a symbol of the common challenges. Because the BAG is proud of the fight against listeria, so the rumor goes. They also know: Listeria are real survivors among the bacteria. A quality that you should certainly adopt as Minister of Health.
The coming weeks and months will show whether Baume-Schneider and her new plush Listeria can really meet the challenges in healthcare. She is absolutely happy, Baume-Schneider writes in her post.
Sometimes such an appointment offers a very nice change. It was definitely a light-hearted start.
