Do you have any measures in place such as alarms, double locks, video surveillance, etc. ？.

I would like to receive Chinese medicine or natural treatment because American medicine is too strong. In that case, will my insurance cover it ？?

The best part is Lake Ontario. There are lots of restaurants and malls nearby.

I will never forget going on the Niagara Falls tour.
It is so powerful to see it in person.

If you want to shop, I recommend Toronto ・ Eaton Centre.
It is located right next to the Queen subway station.

Waterfront ・ Park is also very pleasant.

Spectrumのインターネットだけを使っているのですが、一番最初にサインアップした時は何かのスペシャルだったのはわかっているのですが、＄６０台だったのがじわじわ上げてきて、今となってはもうすぐ＄１５０に達します。文句を言えば安くしてくれると言う人もいますがそれも本当か分からず、店舗で断られ泣き寝入りも悲しいのですが、どなたか安くしてもらった人いますか？　そして、他の会社でもインターネット安くて良いところ知っていらったら教えていただけますか？　よろしくお願いします。

我が家ではT-mobile のインターネットに変更しました。今まではSpectrum や Hawaiian Telcom のインターネットを使っていましたがどちらも２年のプロモーション期間が終わると値段が高くなってしまいますが T-mobile は＄50ぐらいで余計なFeeも付きません。５年間は同じ値段みたいです。我が家ではコンスタントに２00Mbps のスピードが出ています。それ以外でT-mobile の良いところはセットアップにテクニシャンを呼ばずに自分で簡単にセットアップできることです。

私も元々Spectrumを使っていましたが、同様に毎年料金が上がって来たので、去年思い切ってT-mobileに変更しました。
キャンセルの電話をした際、理由を聞かれ、毎年料金が上がっていくのが気に入らない、と言うと、じゃあ、と色々と安くなるプランを出してきて説得してきました。
本当に引き留めようと長時間電話に付き合わなくてはいけなかったのですが、既にT-mobileと契約してしまっていたので断りました。
その後も郵送＆メールでお得なプランが送られてきて、それなら最初から値段上げないでくれればよかったのに、とモヤっとしました。

その後引っ越しをしなくてはならず、引っ越し先ではHawaiian Telcom一択になったのでまた解約をしなくてはいけなかったのですが、Billing cycle（請求書の締め日）を数日逃していたので、まるまる１ヶ月分、サービスを受けないにも関わらずT-mobileに支払いを強いられる形になりました。ほんとに理不尽な事は多いですよね。
オフィスに直に行ってもきっと何もしてくれないと思いますが、電話で解約したいと伝えるときっと交渉してくると思いますよ。

自分はHawaiian Telcomの１番安いプラン（光回線に非対応のアパート）ですが、割引なしだと$75/mo位のところ、プロモーション価格が終わる数週間前に電話して、他社に切り替えるだなんだと値下げ交渉をして、なんとか$50台で抑えています。たぶん、光回線に対応のところではベース価格が上がってしまうと思いますので、割引を貰ってもそれなりに高くなるのではと思います。

アメリカ人の義母と私の子供から見て誰が伯父•叔母に当たるのかの話をしていた時に、Auntyに当たらない人でもAuntyをつけると、丁寧な言い方になると言っていました。
私は義母の事を名前だけで呼んでいるので、ちょっと失礼だなぁと思われているのかと少し心配になりました。
Aunty Uncle 付ける付けないと義母の呼び方について、うちではこうしてるなどご意見頂きたいです。

アメリカで義母を呼びかける時は名前で呼ぶことは、
全然失礼ではなく一般的だと思います。
義母の方からmomと呼んでねとか言われた時はそう呼べば良いです。
日本だと義母に名前で呼ぶ方は余りいないと思いますが
アメリカですから日本に当てはめなくても
大丈夫ですよ。

アメリカも大きいですから、お土地柄や家族関係によっても全然違うと思います。
自分の経験からでしか言えませんが、私の義母はとてもフレンドリーだったのと、私が結婚したのが若かったのもあって、Momと素直に呼べていました。
兄弟家族皆仲良しなので、甥っ子や姪っ子も私の事を名前の前にAuntieをつけて呼びます。アメリカ本土では親族間でしかAuntieやUncleをつけないのが普通だと思っていましたが、ハワイに来て、子供の友達からもAuntieと呼ばれるようになり、近所の子供達からもAuntieと呼ばれるのが普通なので、顔見知りで仲良くなると親しみを込める意味でAuntie＆Uncleと呼ぶのではないかと思います。

I’m currently working at my first non-Nikkei company, in an environment with many Japanese and Asian employees. My boss isn’t used to managing people, so he gets flustered and takes his frustration out on those around him by yelling at them. He even yells at new hires who just started and don’t know anything yet, telling them “that’s not right” without any explanation.
I think this kind of situation would be considered power harassment in Japan, but is the term “power harassment” also used in English-speaking countries, and does it refer to situations like this? ？

This is a common issue at Japanese companies.

You should report this to the Labor Department.
In the U.S., if a company did something like that,
the company itself would be sued.

Please report this to the Labor Department.

I'll look into how to report this to the Labor Bureau. Alternatively,
since the company is in the food and beverage industry and originally from Europe, I think I could report it directly to the company itself, so I'd like to consider that option, but I'm worried about whether my anonymity will be properly protected.

Thank you, EEOC, for providing such specific details.
As I suspected, “power harassment” is a term coined in Japan and isn’t used in the U.S.
It’s certainly impossible to file a complaint without evidence. Moreover, since you can’t record conversations without the other person’s permission, it’s practically impossible unless the experience of workplace harassment is severe enough to cause mental distress and result in a doctor’s medical certificate.
I don’t plan on staying at this company much longer myself, but I feel sorry for the new hires and the other employees.

Mr. Hara

No, you can sue.

In both Japan and the United States, you can sue if conduct in the workplace constitutes another tort, such as assault, physical restraint, defamation, or acts that cause extreme mental distress.
Incidentally, “power harassment” is not an official legal term in Japan either



Regarding recordings, in Hawaii, if you are a party to the conversation, you can legally record it even without the other person’s permission.
The issue arises when you eavesdrop on a conversation in which you are not present.

Therefore, the explanation that recording without the person’s permission is illegal and that the case ends as soon as it is filed with the EEOC is also incorrect.

I still have a child in preschool, and my mother-in-law bought him a tablet, saying he might use it at school, but When do students typically start using tablets at school? ？ I assumed that even if they do start using them, they’d be using ones provided by the school—is that correct? ？
Since time spent on a tablet counts as screen time, I’d prefer to avoid it as much as possible for now.

Hello
My son is currently in first grade, but he’s been using an iPad since kindergarten.
Since they use the ones provided by the school, he never brings one home. It’s not like he uses it every day, though—it’s just that he sometimes uses it for math or writing.
Each student has their own iPad, which is managed by the teacher, so it seems the students aren’t allowed to touch them except when they’re being used in class.

Thank you for your post, Fish Shop ！
So they really do start using them in kindergarten, don't they?
I don't want them to find out that they can watch YouTube and play games on the tablet, but they'll probably start talking about that with their friends at school anyway.
I'm worried.

Thank you for your comment.
To help my child see the tablet as a tool for studying, I think I’ll hold off on letting them use it until they start using it at school.
