Happy And Succeeding In The Future Of Work
How To Get Motivated And Achieve Your Goals
Having excuses is a seductive way to get out of doing something you want, but are too afraid to act on. If you want to procrastinate, it’s never the right time to start something new—like a job search, asking for a promotion and raise, or getting involved with a gig-economy side hustle. There will always be a convenient reason why now is not a good time.
Start Your First Week Of A New Job Like A Boss
You accepted a job offer, started a new position and want to shine. People formulate opinions within the first few moments of meeting and speaking with you. Right from the start, you want to shape the perceptions of how your manager, executives and co-workers think of you.
Red Flags Signaling You May Be Selected For A Layoff
Right now, the job market doesn’t feel like it was a month ago. Inflation is spiraling out of control. The cost of everything is exorbitant.

Netflix Tells Employees To Quit If They’re Offended By Streamer’s Content
An internal memo distributed to Netflix employees advises them that if they are offended by the streamer’s “content breadth,” they should quit. The reference appears to be in response to Dave Chappelle’s controversial stand-up special, “The Closer,” which prompted LGBTQ employees and supporters to walk out in protest over his anti-trans and homophobic jokes. At the time, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos sided with Chappelle and now he’s doubled down by telling employees that if anyone is going anywhere, it should be them.
‘The Guilt Is Unbearable’: UST-Luna Investors Discuss The 99.99% Crypto Crash
The cryptocurrency market is in the middle of a widespread crash, causing investors serious financial pain with no clear way out. The most dramatic fall yet has been the collapse of the $30 billion Terra ecosystem: its token Luna, its algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD (UST)—which is supposed to remain pegged 1:1 to the dollar—and associated lending protocol Anchor.
