The term Enshittification was coined by technology writer Cory Doctorow to describe the systematic degradation of online services that once made our lives better. If you’ve ever wondered why Facebook feels more like an advertising hellscape than a social network, why your carefully curated LinkedIn posts disappear into an algorithmic void, or why Netflix seems determined to stretch a single series of Stranger Things across multiple months, then you’ve experienced enshittification firsthand.

It’s not just your imagination. These platforms really are getting worse. And there’s a depressingly predictable pattern to how it happens.

At some point, most employees will miss work. Trains are cancelled, childcare collapses, relatives (or the employee themselves) fall sick – unexpected emergencies take many forms. Although most (not all) employers recognize (and make provision for) this reality, the legal position is that while employees have statutory rights, they can’t just take time off whenever they choose. Unfortunately, the line between legitimate absence and misconduct is sometimes poorly understood – by both sides. And when disputes arise, they often hinge not on the absence itself, but on how the absence was handled.
Before going any further, let us be clear that the following is general information, not individual legal advice. Always assess your own facts, documents and timelines.

Comments Off on What You Need to Know When Taking Time Off Work

In South Africa we call it a braai, while it’s a barbie in Australia, a cookout in the USA and a barbecue in the UK and elsewhere, but although the name of the event can differ, the core activities are the same: grilling food, drinking beer and a lot of chat. Talking about sports or our kids’ achievements is always on the menu, but increasingly I am finding that braai banter includes exchanging tales of irritation with unsolicited phone calls.

Comments Off on Is the Outbound Call Center Sector its Own Worst Enemy?
By Christian Hill, paralegal and member of NALP
Business disputes can vary widely—cancelled projects, disagreements over contractual terms, sudden changes in requirements, or unexpected employment issues—and they can threaten finances and reputations. The importance of legal resilience means businesses in many sectors include paralegals as part of their in-house teams as an alternative to outsourcing of often costly solicitors. As both Group Managing Director of a security company and a practicing paralegal, I understand that behind every contract signed, every dispute managed, and every client reassured, paralegal expertise provides the foundation that keeps things steady when pressures mount.

With the introduction of the Galaxy Z TriFold, Samsung has pushed foldable phones closer toward mainstream adoption. Release was limited to South Korea, with just a few thousand units available (which quickly sold out), so this was not mass adoption. But it was a signal.
Scale isn’t Samsung’s priority. Shaping perception and demonstrating technological leadership is.

By Christopher Paul Jones, Harley Street phobia expert and author of Face your Fears
Fear is a natural survival instinct. In our professional lives, it often latches onto things like being judged or failure, and because so much of our self-worth and stability can feel tied to our careers, small fears can grow larger than life.
A 2024 survey by the American Psychological Association found that 42% of working adults reported feeling burned out. This shows why it’s important to address workplace fears before they take a serious toll.

Comments Off on Beating Workplace Fear Factors

Today we view Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde as Gothic horror stories, but they were initially anxious meditations on the Industrial Revolution, a period when steam engines and factory machinery transformed society faster than anyone thought possible. Many currently find themselves in a similar moment of panic. Except this time, the pace of change is exponential.

Perimenopause, affecting over 1 billion women globally, remains one of the most underserved areas of healthcare. Standard approaches often rely on years of trial and error, leaving women and their doctors frustrated, unsupported, and at risk of preventable age-related conditions.

Since the mid-1800s, technology has changed beyond recognition – from developing electrical grids to computing in the cloud, from mechanical calculators to artificial intelligence. Yet, the fundamental nature of the people who create these technologies remains remarkably constant. They are, above all, creative scientists.

Food for the Brain, the UK’s Alzheimer’s prevention charity, has been selected by Innovate UK, the Government’s research and innovation agency, to develop and then roll-out to the National Health Service (NHS) a reliable test to help identify those at risk of dementia. The aim is to identify the markers that indicate a person is at risk of developing dementia long before it is too late to take steps to prevent its onset.
