Frustrated by the low number of IT females in the Czech Republic, IBM, one of world leaders in IT industry, sets out to encourage, motivate, recruit young girls and women, and arouse their  interests in computer and information technology, a field has long been male-dominated.

According to IBM, “IT is a very dynamic and fast developing area for which the most important precondition is to be willing to learn. One doesn’t have to hold a university diploma of computer science or have years of practice in the field to succeed with technology. Women are usually surprised that IT jobs can also be family-friendly because work from home is possible. Some companies, including IBM Czech Republic, are also starting to open job-share arrangements and opportunities for women to keep in touch with work via smaller projects while on maternity leave. In fact, the IT sector offers better work conditions for women in terms of equal opportunities and work-life balance than other areas of business.”

I saw the “PF” abbreviation in my boss’ happy-new-year email to us but as unsure about the meaning. Few days later, I read another happy-new-year article and again saw “PF.” So exactly what does it mean?

According to Czechfiles, “FF” stands for “pour feliciter,” a French expression using in the 17 and 18th century greeting cards to congratulate during events, not necessarily new year.

Somehow the “coolness” of French world and sound enables “PF” stick to this present day.
