Name: David Roe CMSWire

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 15 October

Query:

Microsoft plans to let more workers work from home
post-pandemic. The Redmond, Washington-based conglomerate
unveiled plans to adopt a "hybrid workplace" environment as it
copes with the raging coronavirus crisis. The company said part
of its strategy is to permanently offer employees greater
flexibility once the outbreak subsides. "Flexibility can mean
different things to each of us, and we recognize there is no
one-size-fits-all solution given the variety of roles, work
requirements and business needs we have at Microsoft," Microsoft
Executive Vice President Kathleen Hogan wrote in a blog post
Friday. "To address this, we have provided guidance to employees
to make informed decisions around scenarios that could include
changes to their worksite, work location, and/or work hours once
offices are open without any COVID-19 restrictions." Most of
Microsoft's employees have worked remotely since March. After
the health crisis is over, it will be normal for most roles to
remain remote less than 50% of the time with manager approval,
the company said. Employees who choose to work remotely on a
permanent basis won't have assigned office spaces but will have
access to flexible "touchdown space" at Microsoft's offices.

Other tech companies such as Twitter and Squarehave said more
of their workforce can work from home permanently.

Is a hybrid workplace the workplace of the future?

39) Summary: Is forcing Google to sell its Chrome browser a way of making digital advertising market fair?

Name: David Roe CMSWire

Category: General

Email: query-bdld@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: CMSWire

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 15 October

Query:

Justice Department and state prosecutors investigating Google
for alleged antitrust violations are considering whether to
force the company to sell its dominant Chrome browser and parts
of its lucrative advertising business, three people with
knowledge of the discussions said Friday.

The conversations -- amid preparations for an antitrust legal
battle that DOJ is expected to begin in the coming weeks --
could pave the way for the first court-ordered break-up of a
U.S. company in decades. The forced sales would also represent
major setbacks for Google, which uses its control of the world's
most popular web browser to aid the search engine that is the
key to its fortunes.

Advertisement

Discussions about how to resolve Google's control over the
$162.3 billion global market for digital advertising remain
ongoing, and no final decisions have been made, the people
cautioned, speaking anonymously to discuss confidential
discussions. But prosecutors have asked advertising technology
experts, industry rivals and media publishers for potential
steps to weaken Google's grip.

Media Outlet: Bustle

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 14 October

Query:

I've been mostly vegan for years. The thing that stops me from
totally committing? Eggs. Not only are they a great source of
protein, but they're really important to a lot of different
kinds of cooking. I'm not much of a baker, so trying to figure
out how to sub in flax seed goo for actual eggs is always a
disaster. But these new vegan eggs look like eggs and they say
you can make quiche and omlettes with them. Okay, but are they
good for you?

Here's a link to info about this new vegan egg:
https://www.livekindly.co/french-women-vegan-egg/

Here are my Qs: 1. What is in this vegan egg? 2. Is it good for
you? Would you recommend that people include this in their
diets? 3. Do you think that people should cut eggs out of their
diets? Why or why not? 4. What substitutes do you recommend and
why? 5. What else? 6. Please tell me your full legal name,
gender pronouns, and location.

THANK YOU!
