Hey everyone, I recently started a remote job that tracks time with timedoctor. Unfortunately, this app is pretty invasive considering it takes screenshots of what I’m looking at every 10-15 minutes, along with checking in if I’ve been inactive for 10 minutes… is there any software I can download that mimics clicking/typing to bypass this? I can ignore the screenshot aspect by just setting it up on a laptop I don’t use

The primary reason a few countries are considering raising the retirement age is due to pension costs. If I stop working at 53 instead of 60, for example, then that's an additional seven years that needs to be funded. Where would this money come from?

Pharmacy technician here. I'm sure it's been said before but I'll say it again and again, 30-minute lunches are ridiculous. Expecting a person to wolf down their food in 30 minutes while having a moment of rest is nearly impossible. I actually only get about 27-28 minutes if I'm not having to heat up my food (which is 80% of the time) to eat. That time flies… 45 minutes should be the minimum. One hour shouldn't be considered a “courtesy.” Vent over…

So, I put in my 2 weeks at my current job. What I'm realizing is that most jobs fully expect you to do like 5 months of work in your last 2 weeks, train people, write a freakin manual, inform everyone, yadda yadda yadda. My thought is, “Why in the ever loving hell would I work HARDER now that I've quit?” And why would I all of sudden do something I've never been paid to do, just because I had the courtesy to give you notice? It's an insane expectation and it's a symptom of how employers really think you owe them some type of favor for them deigning to give you a job so THEY can make money. Imagine if you broke up with someone and they asked you to write down all their likes and dislikes and the way they like laundry folded for the next guy. It's…

NYS, I don't want to divulge what company, but a pretty large & world reknowned real estate services company…. A power tripping manager sent out an “updated” PTO policy that specificially states ​ ” Unpaid time off will not be approved .” ​ How exactly is that A) Legal or B) enforcable? ​ If I'm not being paid & OK with that, how exactly do you expect that I'll be coming in?? ​ Any advice is super helpful, aside from the “F IT TAKE IT ANYWAY!” which I do totally love, any legal measurable steps to remedy this?
