The law shocker

I would like you to write about a law/rule that you have/don't have in your country and is a 'must have'. I heard that in US don't have these three which are essential/crucial for me (Poland): – health care, – insurance (80% paid sick leaves, etc.) – law protecting the employee from getting fired for no reason (it is possibile to fire someone in Poland but it is quite difficult and companies are avoiding that). What about you? Share!

Lobbying

Wait, so all these companies are 100% against unions but paying tons of money and acting as if their lobbying Congress isn't basically the same thing? I mean is there that much of a difference?

Why is it so cringy to self-advocate?

Talking to another female in corporate America. And I’m curious: does anyone else ROCKKKK at their job. I mean, own it so hard that you’re up for promotion early, but you know it’s a “hush” promotion (give her something to appease when they got wind I was inquiring about pay scale and that I was “open to work” on LinkedIn) when you know you’ve been doing the work worth 3 times what you make, and they obviously see it too. BUT, when it comes to actually presenting your case and asking for a full revamp of the position to actuality, and compensate accordingly, you freeze? Why is it so hard to self advocate?? Why does Imposter Syndrome/fear of rejection set in NOW? Insurmountable writer’s block. Does anyone else experience this? How did you overcome it? I have to finish this proposal, like, yesterday. They know it’s coming. They’ve said we’d…

New owners trying to forced availability change.

Say you worked for a company and they sold their business and the new owners are saying people need to open their availability. Can they make them do that and does it differ for salary vs hourly employees? Everyone has to sign new contracts with the company in this scenerio if that helps. Hoping for more Canadian based law advice for this. I'm on salary and worked 9-5 the last 7 years (I'm almost 30 now) and they want me closing friday-sunday 3-11:30 which there is no chance I'm gonna do. If I wanted to work nights I'd go back to working in a bar.

I have a laptop from work, can the admin see what I’m doing if I created a second Windows profile for outside of work stuff?

Apologies if it's not related much. I got a laptop from work where I have all of the stuff needed to work with shared folders & files. On top of that, in that Windows user, when necessary – IT / CEO can monitor activity for any reason. I also use this laptop for other stuff while out of work since my current PC is not working. I created a second Windows user just for that, it has no shared folders and I don't see evidence of possibility for activity other than mine. Could anyone assure me whether it's possible or not to monitor the laptop with any profile created, or is it just the work Windows user? Many thanks.
