Australian employees can now ignore those and other intrusions into home life thanks to a new “right to disconnect” law designed to curb the creep of work emails and calls into personal lives. The new rule, which came into force on Monday, means employees, in most cases, cannot be punished for refusing to read or respond to contacts from their employers outside work hours.

This summer, I keep getting the same call: “So my company is going back to in-person events and off-sites, and I feel like after working so much virtually, I forgot how to speak in-person both one-to-one and formally.” You are not alone. The reason in-person events are coming back is simple. We longed for the connection of being in the same room, but at the same time, we didn’t miss it and really liked not having to be there in person.

Early in life, we learn that one of the cruelest things someone can do is to make fun of someone’s disability. Or, at least we’re supposed to learn this. Those who don’t grasp this basic lesson about being a decent person are typically bullies. Sadly, a man who would be elected President of the U.S. provides a perfect example. In 2015, Donald Trump mocked a reporter’s disability at a public rally.
