"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"From post-work pints to subsidised bar tabs at company events, alcohol is often embedded in professional life, according to a report by think tank Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). The survey revealed that about a quarter of workers felt pressured to drink when they didn't want to, and this increased to 38 per cent among younger employees aged 18 to 24."
"But employees not only think drinking culture creates cliques and excludes non-drinkers, they also suggest it has real consequences in the workplace. A third of workers have called in sick in the past year after drinking at work-related events, and 22 per cent reported working hungover. It also didn't go unnoticed, with 29 per cent of respondents reporting seeing a colleague being tired or sluggish at work."
