I'm a cashier. We just got a new manager, and she's making things really hard for us. She starts work at 4:30am and leaves around 2:30pm, but she still expects us to stay until 6pm and work on the weekends! She gives us really long shifts and doesn't give us much time for breaks. And when we ask her about it, she gets mad.

I'm worried that if I speak up, she'll make my life even harder. I don't want to lose my job because of this—do you guys have any advice?

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

To the Europeans that claimed that America is a laughing stock earlier - Europe's energy dependency rate has risen to 58% (as of 2018), mostly dependent on fossil fuels from Russia. The US now exports more energy than imports (as of 2019).

The US and Canada are now uniquely positioned in the world to aggressively expand renewables without sacrificing energy independence. Probably won't have to manufacture renewables in parts of the world that rely heavily on energy sources like coal too.
