Work-life balance: Yay or nay for unlimited PTO?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:23:56 GMT

Unlimited PTO (Paid Time Off) has been a hotly debated topic in recent years, with some companies embracing it as a perk for employees, while others remain skeptical. On the one hand, unlimited PTO seems like an attractive benefit for workers who value flexibility and work-life balance. After all, who wouldn’t want the freedom to take as much time off as they need without worrying about running out of vacation days?

In this article, we’ll explore both sides of the unlimited PTO debate and consider whether it’s truly a hurray or a nay for today’s workforce. So, let’s dive in and find out if unlimited PTO is really all it’s cracked up to be.Read the full article on our sister site, the Marina Times, here. Advertising disclosure: We may receive compensation for some of the links in our stories. ...

Boop Oop A Doop — It’s Betty Who

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:23:56 GMT

Boop Oop A Doop: Rarely has an artist been so perfectly named. “Betty Who” is an appropriate moniker for the Australian synth-pop artist. Not because she’s an anonymous figure in the modern, brutal pop world but because she seems to have been spending the first few years of her career discovering herself, working out what she wants her signature sound to be and, of course, growing up. Hence, her last EP was called Betty, Pt. 1 and her album is called Betty, despite the fact that they’re preceded by two albums and two EPs for RCA Records. She’s an indie artist now, going it alone, and she’s at the beginning of a new chapter. Shea Couleé also plays.We spoke to Who in 2018, and she told us that, “The place that I’m at in my life right now, personally as well as professionally, I’ve gone through a lot of changes. When you’re 20-something, you think, ‘This is my grown-up life now.’ I think most people have experienced that or are going to. This EP, in a lot of ways, is very representativ...

Freediver sues Netflix claiming ‘No Limits’ film depicted him as a murderer

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:23:56 GMT

By Joe Schneider | BloombergA Cuban-American freediver who set 21 world records sued Netflix Inc. for defamation, claiming the media giant wrongly depicted him as a murderer in the 2022 film No Limits.The film is presented as a fictional work, inspired by real events, but Francisco Ferreras Rodriguez claims it’s very similar to what happened in his life, with the exception that the film’s lead character, Pascal Gautier, deliberately killed his wife, a fellow freediver. A picture and the name of Ferraras’s wife, Audrey, who drowned in a record attempt dive, appear at the end of the film.“Many viewers reasonably concluded that Ferreras behaved in real life in the same way that the Gautier character behaves in the film,” Ferreras’s lawyer Alexander Rufus-Isaacs wrote in the complaint, filed Wednesday in Los Angeles federal court. “There was a storm of online abuse directed at him by viewers who believed that he had murdered Audrey.”Netflix’s docudramas have landed the company in court ...

Thieves Rip Off U.S. Weapons as Shadow War in Syria Escalates

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:23:56 GMT

Thieves have made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars in artillery equipment, unspecified “weapons systems,” and specialized ammunition meant for U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq, according to exclusive documents obtained by The Intercept.The thefts, which occurred on, or in transit to, far-flung U.S. outposts in the region, remain unsolved. They are just the latest evidence of a persistent problem that has allowed enemy forces from ISIS in Iraq to the Taliban in Afghanistan to arm themselves — and even kill Americans and their foreign partners — at U.S. taxpayer expense.The previously unreported thefts illuminate America’s shadow wars in the region, where a U.S. contractor was killed and six other Americans were wounded last week in a suicide drone assault on a U.S. base in northeast Syria. The kamikaze airstrike on the outpost known as RLZ was one of roughly 80 attacks on American bases in Iraq and Syria since January 2021 that the U.S. has blamed on Iranian proxy groups. Presi...

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — Senegal’s top opposition leader has been given a two-month suspended sentence after being found guilty of libel.Ousmane Sonko on Thursday was convicted of spreading false statements and will also have to pay about $330,000 to Minister of Tourism Mame Mbaye Niang, who accused the politician of defamation and public insults. “This is a historic day for Senegal. Many had said that the trial would not take place, but it did. This is a victory,” the Cabinet minister’s lawyer El-hadji Diouf told reporters in Senegal’s capital, Dakar.The case stems from accusations that Sonko, 48, made against the tourism minister during a news conference late last year. He had alleged the minister stole $47 million from a government agency.Security was tight around the courtroom Thursday, as small groups of people gathered in support of Sonko.
