Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

MODERATORS
Many companies in Europe encourage you to take in August because the work is less in some regions and the majority take them during August.
They can't pick all your annual days. But sometimes like 50% of them.
I generally try to take mine during November or March.
Sometimes December because I have to pick 3 days between Christmas and New Year as policy.
I'm not a fan of companies picking any of my time off.
"This office shuts down over the Christmas/New Year period, so don't come in, take your holidays. Oh but there's a job that needs to be done on the 28th so you'll need to come in for that."
Ummm... It's not really my holiday if I don't have control over it. What you're describing there isn't even leave without pay. It's just a period of no work.
Yeah me neither. Which is why I'm OK with my current contract which blocks only 3 out of 23/24~ paid time off on December, as a general rule.
In my previous company it was hassle the process to ask for not taking any time off in August (or around August).
