When a single company controls all the workforce in a specific market or area, it is known as monopsony, a form of labor market monopoly. This can happen in industries with little competition, allowing the dominant employer to depress wages and dictate working conditions. This is a distinct concept from a monopoly in the product market, where one company controls the entire supply of a good or service.

Happy Monday fishes!! What are the best job posting sites in your opinion and which ones have a higher success rate?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide

I'm reading this book on boundaries. In the work section it says I should tell my boss that I can't work after 5 PM. Knowing that advertising work commonly goes past 5 PM...would my job be in danger if I said that?
There's not really a rule book that says I must work until the work is done even though it's an unsaid expectation. Thoughts?
