I believe this is when major companies made a terrible mistake by calling an AI a sentient instead of a brush. It's a very horrible move to replace workers with a brush as should they be equipping the workers with a brush. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #ai #gamedev #microsoft #workrights

Citizens Advice Lancashire West

@citizensadvicelw.bsky.social

Feeling unwell during your holiday? 🤒 You might be able to switch it to sick leave and save your holiday days for when you’re better. Here’s what you need to know 👇
https://www.citizensadvicelancashirewest.org.uk/calw-blog/if-youre-ill-and-cant-take-your-holiday

#WorkRights #SickLeave

If You’re Ill and Can’t Take Your Holiday — Citizens Advice Lancashire West

This advice applies to England. If you’re sick during your holiday or fall ill before it starts, you can ask your employer to treat the time off as sick leave instead. That way, you can save your holiday for when you’re well enough to enjoy it.

Centrelink absolutely refused to accept it should be the first point of contact for reports of exploitative employers! #auspol Yet, when it comes to finding work #JobSeekers are required to meet obligations. The government doesn’t ensure employers meet theirs! 😡#FairWorkQld #EconSky #WorkRights

so u get a bit of both worlds. But #republicans absolutely want u to believe #socialism that offers #healthcare, #education, #WorkRights like #MinimumWage, #housing help, etc is evil. So, u bought into this nonsense that capitalism is greater than liberalism.

French publishers like Le Monde are now giving journalists a cut—around 25%—of AI licensing revenue when their work is used. It’s not just fair—it recognizes that when our words inform AI, we deserve a stake.
