Thanks, I will do that. I have ordered the glasses already, but if there is a setting we can try - all the better. I do know that she adjusts the brightness when she reads but we will look for other adjustment options.
On an iPad look under Settings, then Display & Brightness. Then there is an option called Night Shift. I haven’t tried it so far though.
If they are on your insurance they should NOT be getting a 1099. Are you paying unemployment insurance on them, and covering your share of SS? Those two account for 10% of what you pay them.
In the iPad settings you can set the display preferences, so that it goes into a night mode, which eliminates the need for the blue blockers..
My Dad who started work in 1950 would have disagreed with you. He felt the petroleum company he worked for was like a family.
I would agree with that statement but add "...engineers today (with more than 5 yrs experience)..."
I met a man somewhere who'd retired from AT&T. We were barley acquaintances and he was moaning to me about the breakup of that company. I call that loyalty.
Perhaps he had good reason. Do you think that your phone service has improved since the breakup?
Got ATT and a local company competing to be your internet provider in our neighborhood.
There is a lot of truth about what tradosaurus said about a sense of "family" in business companies back in those bygone days. Most people could and would work in the same company till they retired. Something happened to morality, and human values evaporated with the hippie generation. Things went progressively downwards since then. It's dog eat dog now.
Different generation, different times. Those seen as job hoppers were frowned upon at hiring time.
I was not putting the blame on the hippies themselves. It was the onset of the deterioration of American traditional values.
Which times are those? Philip Bailey called it photogenic memory. Looking back on the past as if it were better than it actually was.
Exactly. If you think businesses and people had more values and were more moral "back in the day", or that crime wasn't as bad, or a lot of things, history would disagree with you. We used to enslave other humans for profit and call it righteous, we'd straight up murder fellow Americans who dared to protest deadly working conditions, we would invade other countries and install homicidal dictators just because we didn't like who they freely elected as their leader, or because it meant cheaper stuff for us back home. That's just recent history too, the further back you go the more heinous, vicious, and horrifying it gets.
"They" probably didn't feel the same way. It's a fallacy. Companies do not have feelings. The people who work there do.
Maybe you do but he probably just misses a good job he had which he had trouble duplicating in the new job hunting world he was thrust into with the breakup of the old company. He may have lost some bennies, suffered a job change, reduction in pay, management may have changed and the new manager was no longer as appreciative of his effort, etc, etc.
Not all get two weeks paid vacay.
What is your point? If you don't get paid vacation, you work 52 weeks. You also look for a different job. Others get 4-6 weeks paid vacations. Lots of jobs don't pay by the hour either. People frequently confuse self employment with lack of benefits. In a free society, workers with unsatisfactory benefits have choices. Paid vacation is not a legal requirement, but most companies provide it. Why? The company either recognizes that people burn out or they just want to be competitive as an employer. Either way, most people who work full-time as an employee get paid time off.
