He first lade a threat. Then I called his bluff and then he pushed through.
In that way I got my full year off.
The stupid thing was that I was fired for reading a newspaper. I didn't take it up to court because I knew I was getting a full years pay if they fired me that way.
'You won't have a calculator on you everywhere you go' was another one.
We have the long steel ones from IKEA. Solid. Never had any problems with them.
I agree. These are anonymous messages. I don't see any privacy violations.
They could set up camera's that record who's entering and leaving the restroom and thus violate privacy but this seems fair play to me. They'll just vape somewhere else.
Nope, it's not weird. It's not common either. You will get made fun of when anyone finds out.
I'm not saying it's social media, but it's social media. You're connected to negativity 24/7. The algorithm feeds on negativity because that is what makes us stay on there.
I've got something to change your thinking. At least it helped me 17 years ago.
Hans Rosling - The best stats you've ver seen
I don't want to dismiss the facts. There are terrible things going on but overall we're living our best lives at the same time.
Rutger Bregman | Where do we go from here?
And hey! I'm 43 too. You have a whole life ahead of you. You still can go in any direction you want to go in.
And they've made Bing your standard browser and activated Copilot.
OK. One less child. Now I just have to decide whether the boy or the girl has to go.
They're not wrong
Most of the children around here get their first smartphone at the age of 12. At school they get thaught about the risks of the internet and social media but parents are also asked to guide their children on this path.
Before that age most schilderen have access to a tablet and the advice there is to only let it be used in the places where you as a parent are present. Not in their room for example. You don't have to hover above them but just being near and checking the tablet every few days or weeks will do.
Same with gaming consoles or computers. We have them in our living room so our children only use them in those spaces where other people can be around. That way we can hear their conversations and intervene when their are getting too loud or make sure they use proper language.
No real software limitations apart from adblockers. I did block a whole list of porn sites when they were younger than 12 bit after that age I took away all the restrictions on my router. We had a conversation on the impact and consequences of porn but they will be curious and will find or encounter porn eventually.
So, I would say. Teach and supervice your child and make sure they have the appropriate age for or are to be trusted with their devices.

Contractual and lawful reasons.
You can't be fired without proper cause so when they fire you without proper cause the wil have to keep you on board for a while or choose to pay you out for that amount of time. I was sort of a foreman with a teal of about 20 technicians and I also had to work directly with our customers. They deemed me a liability because I was fired so they chose to pay out.
Same with salesmen. When you fire them without proper cause they want you out of their network as soon as possible and won't take the risk of letting you work with costumers anymore so they just pay out the amount of time that is needed.
