I have been asked to "still dial in" while recovering from food poisoning. Apparently, vomiting does not affect your ability to present on Teams. Is anyone else tired of being expected to be invincible?

and not sleep or have a social life. My editor was asking me to share content at midnight on a Saturday because my active light was on!

That is outrageous. Just because the light is on does not mean I am working. It is not a digital leash. Boundaries should not vanish because we are “technically reachable.”

I was out on vacation and still receiving ‘urgent’ emails, please have them done EOD. Polite response back that I am not available, but it happens every time I’m out.

Been there. Out-of-office seems invisible to some people.

The bar for “available” keeps getting pushed until basic human needs are seen as optional.

This may be the only con of hybrid working, when everyone was fully in office they wouldn’t dream of making you come in but now it’s just expected for everyone to work no matter what

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?

I have an offer for $130k for a senior attorney position in a boutique L&E firm. Also have a recruiter who thinks she can get me into another for $150-170k. Both are more than I’ve ever made (Denver, 17 yrs of experience but completely different practice areas). Any tips for countering the $130k offer for more using the other potential offer while not risking a complete withdrawal of the current offer? I’ve never been in a position to bargain my starting salary so this is all very new to me.

One of my direct reports has asked about going part time. They currently manage special reports in a bi-weekly publication, working closely with sales, freelance writers, and an internal designer. Job duties are primarily project management and editing/proofreading. As the first read on articles, they need to have an understanding of the material (business/regulation). Has anyone had experience with job sharing in this type of a role?

Journalism is the best job in the world but I feel like people are less likely to take my work seriously because I am female. So it's like they automatically think the only things I would be good at writing about are fluffy little human interest stories. I'm just a reporter like everyone else. Is there some way I can tell my supervisor that yes, I do like those stories, but I like being a serious reporter even more?

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin. I'm a reporter with more than 32 years of experience and I feel that, lately, local television news has been kind of dead, but I am pleased to fight for it from my local newspaper. Locals love to see someone from their own town succeeding or finding out something inspiring.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.
