Even outside the US - there was some of this.

I was in Brighton Conference Centre (Uk) where Tony Blair was due to give a very heavily trailed speech.

After Tower one got hit we all went out of the main auditorium - I then realized I had stupidly left my bag unattended and had to go back and retrieve it.

After tower two got hit a lot of us started to think what if they have a plane targeting Tony and this building - though its a grim thing to say the RAF QRA where armed

And for salaried jobs you normally don't get OT you just mange your own time and take TOIL.

Your quite correct here also:

This is a charity and they are notorious as bad employers / workplaces.

Its also not clear if the Job is a real professional salaried job or not - from some of the attitude I suspect its actually more of an admin blue collar role.

And from how the person "presents" I suspect they would not be a good manager

Your being very optimistic here and changes will make the existing v poor US pensions system worse.

edge cases make bad law eg using the small number of social security cheats to reduce entitlements to all or the tiny tiny number of cases of elector fraud to disenfranchise the poor and BAME.

Dunblane and the Dangerous dogs act in the UK are related.

This is the sort of thing that fringe "hobbyist" activists do assuming they aren't paid agent provocateur's

Very much so I (UK) have made some nice tax free returns on FTSE 100 companies share saves.

Pity we didn't get an exit back in 2000 when I had 0.5% of Poptel (everyone was a dollar millionaire at one point).

At the moment I have EMI shares in my current employer which vest on change of control

Depends on country in Anglo Saxon law (UK USA) its the norm.

And many European countries eg Germany just have it as part of the general labor law - so you wouldn't see it in a "contract"

Exactly what reputation is this? I have heard that about a former employer British Telecom, I suspect it varies I can imagine the sort that went into CS and rote learned their way to a Degree might have a problem.

Not that some of googles published api's and standards work can sometimes a little shonky and could do with a lot more rigor.
