The legal working age should be lowered to 14

School is pretty fucking boring, and generally covers a lot more ground than it needs to for an average job.

>Why do I need to read Shakespeare to work at McDonalds?

>Uhh, next question.

Money is better than school, and with the rates universities are charging nowadays - the more time you have to work and save, the better.

Also, kids spend money like idiots so it'd probably be super good for the economy.

Education? Meh. Do it on the weekends.

Money? Aw yeee.

(You know you're supposed to upvote if it's an unpopular idea, right?)

Remote working for 2 weeks whilst on holiday (total 4 weeks) - proof of legal right to work required

Hi all,

First post here, hope it is allowed.

My company has just announced that I would be allowed to work abroad for 2 weeks (they were previously quite strict with no work to be done abroad at all).

My wife and I are looking to go to Thailand for 4 weeks total and work remotely for 2 weeks and 2 weeks holiday on official annual leave.

We both work in the UK for UK based companies. I have an EU passport and my wife is dual nationality - Thai and British.

My company said that I could work from Thailand if I am able to provide proof that I have the legal right to work there. Its only 2 weeks remote work. Does being married to a Thai citizen allow work?

What proof can I provide? Does 2 weeks remote work for a foreign company not based on Thailand, constitute as "work" in Thai authorities eyes? perhaps if does not count as work, then I could refer to some law that says it and that could be the proof?

Many thanks in advance!

No adult or authority figure took my abuse seriously until I reached legal age.

Surprise surprise, as an adult I still struggle with anxiety and depression, but now with post traumatic stress symptoms like nightmares and flashbacks.

Isn’t that so fucked up?

It was never teenage angst and rebellion like all of the police officers, teachers, social workers, and therapists assumed, it was me trying to get someone to notice that I was in pain.

It made me lose my faith in society and humanity at large, and I still struggle to believe that people won’t hurt me.

Percentage of People Over age 60 Working as SysAdmin/IT Manager?

Silly question, and Google isn't giving me much to go on. I'm trying to find some percentage related to number of people over the age of 60 working as a Sys Admin or IT Manager. Heck, any position for that matter. What I've been able to find is that the average age of an IT Manager in the US is around 48. There may not be such a stat. I'm 62, this is more of a personal curiosity than anything else. Thanks!

Mental Health deteriorating due to working with a narcissist. Need legal advice.

Hi everyone.

Little backstory here. I started working here 2 years ago. Started out as an employee then into a "contractor". My mental health started declining after signing the contract 1 year ago and multiple incidents over the year that eventually manifested into full blown anxiety attacks and self doubt with reality. I'm looking for advice with how to proceed. I've spoken to a lawyer already and she's told me to get my mental health in control first. I feel like handling this situation and ending it will help with my mental health. My last shift was on Oct 26th, 2021 and now it's been 2 weeks and the time off hasn't helped. I broke down in front of my parents and siblings yesterday. The past 2 weeks I thought distracting myself with video games, lots of coffee and surrounding myself with books would help. I felt like all this was pointless and just numbing the pain. I have spoken with a few counselors and a psychologist. I think it's helping, but I have a lot on my mind currently. I would like to deal with this situation as I feel like I have some control on what I can do with this and would like your guys help.

Here are the key points with what's going on: I use to work at a chronic pain/sports injury clinic as a therapist. I've already quit and placed my 2 weeks, 2 weeks ago.

The way it's structured at our company is that our "Chiropractic Doctor" does consults and sells these protocols to address patients pain. He would jump in sometimes and do the treatments if we're too busy. He doesn't enjoy it at all. It's mainly the physio and me doing all of the treatments. He does the diagnoses, but most of the time they are all the same and sometimes incorrect. He diagnoses them all as strains/sprains. Even if it's ankle SPRAIN he would still write strain when clearly no muscles were strained. He would only diagnose them differently if we have a scan done. Since it's legally now on paper so he has too. He does this because he's either incompetent or wanting to finish the protocol and take the patients full amount of money. Now writing this all down now, it's really both..

I wrote a huge wall of text earlier after this paragraph and accidentally pressed an edit button and it cropped the half out. So I'm going to summarize what I wrote. I would like advice on what my options are other than lawyers at this point. I signed an unfair contract and did not know I was working with a narcissist. A lot of unethical practices going on at the clinic. I would like

Find-a-friend with only 28 questions! A clever algorithm that covers age, gender, common interests (probably the best feature), continent πŸ—ΊοΈ , willingness to share pictures πŸ“· or voice calls πŸ“ž, studying/working status and more πŸš€!

Yo internet travelers of 2021! As we all know, 2020 was an intense and lonely year for many of us, which led /u/finder_of_the_humans/ to spend a whole fucking year on a friend finding project that uses 28 questions to find you compatible people to talk to. It's the coolest project I've come across in a while in the way it works (hence my posts) .

TLDR:

  • Answer 28 questions
  • Get matched with others based on answers + your interests
  • Mostly everyone is from reddit

---

So how does it work?

Step 1. Find compatible matches

Basically it matches people up based on answers to 28 simple questions. For each question, you choose your answer and also answers from people you would want to talk to. This is your compatible matches list.

Step 2. Friend requests

Once you have the list, you can then send out friend requests to these users, (or receive requests from them), and once either of you have accepted a request, you get connected with that person, you form a friendship. You eventually meet up, get married, 3 years later you get divorced and fight over the who gets the coffee table with 5 lawyers involved.

Why this is awesome:

  • - Reach! Over 5000 people have joined, which means most people get 20-40 matches - people active in the past two weeks. If you're very picky (or a general outliner) you could expect a bit less
  • - Time! It'll save you a bunch of time! Imagine how long it'd take you to message 5000 people individually.

What are the questions:

  • - more about you- age (you have to be 16 or older!)
  • - best part of your day
  • - gender
  • - sexuality
  • - interests (we have a HUGE list to pick from - all the way from lockpicking, to biotechnology, to minecraft)
  • - geographical continent
  • - how often you'd like to communicate with a friend
  • - type of friendship
  • - whether you'd be willing to share pictures
  • - whether you'd be willing to have voice calls
  • - religious
  • - working
  • - studying
  • - video games / books / drinking / smoking / drugs
  • - whether you want to hide/not match with 'low effort profiles' (this could be a life saver for some of yall)

Sounds sketchy, or you have concerns?

A few people have concerns about the above. So I can highlight a few things.

  • You can be completely anonymous if you choose (and probably should be anyway) - just use throwaway contact info.
  • There is a very simple and short privacy policy as well.
  • And lastly you can read through everyone's feedback in pre

Minimum legal age to work?

I was on a work trip near Chicago and I had noticed that the Applebee's I had been to earlier had a host that looked like he was 12. Then when I went to check in, the hotel was doing some kind of 4th of July BBQ event, and the kid working the grill also looked about 12.

Then the check-in employee looked like she was 15. I was surprised, and meant to ask this 15 year old if there was a minimum legal age to work in this area.

Instead, I accidentally asked this 15 year-old-looking girl, β€œI'm sorry, but like, what is the age of consent here?"
