My colleague and I spent longer debating the under-16 social media ban than discussing our sales numbers this morning. Whether you agree with it or not, it seems everyone has an opinion. What do you think about it?

That would be great but where is this ban happening? I’m unaware of it. Kids don’t need the added pressure of comparison so young. Adults struggle with it as it is.

I think that concern is part of why the conversation has become so polarised. Some people see it as child protection, others see it as a privacy issue. That is why it keeps generating such strong opinions.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
