Driver Case Studies-Mental Health-Holiday vs Post-Holiday-Bloomberg

Looking to speak to drivers Hello, my name is Miguel Ambriz. I'm a reporter with Bloomberg News. I'm working on a story and would like to chat with drivers, you can stay anonymous if you'd like. The story is around the mental health of drivers. I specifically want to focus on if during the holiday season you notice that management treats you better, but as soon as Jan 1 comes along they revert back to pushing you to your limits and drivers being fired. I will need to chat with you on the phone and we can facetime/zoom/etc. to confirm employment details. Since some people ask, we don't pay for sources as that would compromise our reporting integrity. If you decided to chat, we can keep you anonymous if you fear retribution from your company. If you're interested in helping me out, please DM me. Thank you, Miguel

Teachers Needed on AI Student-Monitoring Tools - Bloomberg

Teacher perspectives on AI + student-monitoring tools Hi mods and teachers (please remove if not allowed) I’m a reporter with Bloomberg, working on a story about how schools are using AI and student-monitoring tools (e.g., Lightspeed, GoGuardian/Beacon, Securly, Gaggle). We’re taking a balanced look: some teachers say these tools help with safety and classroom management, while others worry about false alerts, privacy, and extra work. I’d love to hear teacher perspectives. On or off the record, anonymous if you prefer. If you’re open to sharing, I’d love to hear which tools your school uses, what happens after an alert, any benefits or challenges you’ve seen, and what you’d change if you could. I will not name you or your district without explicit permission. Happy to verify my identity via work email. DMs are open.
