Coinbase Offers Employees Four Weeks Off To ‘Recharge’ And ‘Recover Between Sprints’
What do you do when you are one of the most successful cryptocurrency exchanges at the top of its game? You’d think the hard chargers would keep on doing what they’ve been doing. However, that’s not the case. In a sign of how much things have changed in the workforce, Coinbase chief people officer L.J. Brock wrote in a company blog that the remote-first company said, “This year, we’re experimenting with four recharge weeks (roughly one per quarter), when nearly the entire company will shut down so we can all enjoy downtime without work piling up.”
Welcome To The Gilded Age Where Digital Nomads Can Live And Work Remotely In Flexible-Stay, Turnkey, Plush Apartments
The pandemic has substantially changed the way we work and live in positive ways. Before the virus outbreak, it was considered somewhat “fringe” to work at home. Fast forward two years, remote work has become the new standard. Companies are also offering hybrid models, in which you will be in the office about two or three days a week and at home—or anywhere really—for the rest of the days. Some progressive firms offer flexibility, which empowers people to work when and where they so desire.

High Inflation Poses A Threat To Job Market, Says Federal Reserve Chair
Warning that high inflation could make it harder to restore the job market to full health, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Tuesday that the Fed will raise interest rates faster than it now plans if needed to stem surging prices. With America’s households squeezed by higher costs for food, gas, rent, autos and many other items, the Fed is under pressure to rein in inflation by raising rates to slow borrowing and spending.

Pfizer To Cut U.S. Sales Staff As Meetings With Healthcare Providers Move To Virtual
Pfizer Inc (PFE.N) said on Tuesday it is reducing its U.S. sales staff as it expects doctors and other healthcare providers to want fewer face-to-face interactions with sales people after the COVID-19 pandemic ends. The move comes as the company is expected to announce more than $80 billion in revenue in 2021 on strong sales of the COVID-19 vaccine it developed with Germany’s BioNTech SE . That would be record sales for a pharmaceutical company, according to Pfizer Chief Executive Albert Bourla.
Tesla Loses Its Head Of HR And Top Diversity Advocate

Today, Bloomberg reported that Workman is leaving Tesla to become chief legal officer of career-placement firm Handshake.
Workers Don’t Know They’re Underpaid
If you had to guess, what do you think your co-worker makes? How about someone in your same field, but at a different company? A new study from MIT, UC Berkeley, the University of Cologne, and the London School of Economics suggests that many people underestimate their colleagues’ incomes.
