Does society need managers?

How would you picture a workforce functioning without bosses and managers as authority? If not needed, what would be a more productive alternative?

Job networking favours highly extraverted people

I am part of the generation y. I was taught to study hard and then get a job and work hard and then hard work pays off. I was never taught anywhere about the importance of networking. Jobs go to relatives, friends and aqquintances. It’s hard to get a job if you don’t have a large network. Are there others here who have done the right things but are like me who were not taught about the importance of networking? I feel that society favours the highly extroverted easily networking people, and highly qualified people who are more introverted and less interested in networking all the time are ostrasized in job markets.

Is it against labor laws to require someone to come in on their day off/change their set schedule without consent in order to “make up” for a different day?

To be more exact, my workplace is closed on Thanksgiving day and everyone has the day off. But they also have put it on the schedule that everyone needs to come in on one of their normal days off, making it so you still work a full four days for the week. I haven't spoken to the management regarding this yet but I want to know if there is some kind of labor law that this goes against. And since I know labor laws differ from state to state, this is taking place in Utah.

On the midterms

Autistic Canadian here, I can't exactly do much beyond my words. Frankly, if you guys go fash I'm fucking off to Europe. But I ask you this, if you're voting, do more, convince two people to participate as much as possible. The lives of my gay friends are in the hands of every American. Please, don't sit on them.
