In A Bold Employee-Empowering Decision, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy Gives Team Leaders The Authority To Allow People To Keep Working Remotely
Newly installed Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, who replaced Jeff Bezos in July, made a potentially game-changing decision Monday. Jassy said in a companywide memo, white-collar professional office workers could work remotely, choose to work in an office setting or come in two or three days a week via a hybrid model. The decision on work arrangements will be decentralized—made by team leaders and signed off by director-level executives.
Instead Of Waiting For The New Year, Start Your Job Search And Change Your Work Life Right Now
Why wait for the new year to make bold changes in your work and life? Customarily, we coast from about Thanksgiving Day to the beginning of the new year. This time period is spent on family, friends, taking a trip, buying gifts and taking some time off from work. It’s reasonable to take a much-needed break. The last nearly two years have been wild—which may be an understatement. The pandemic brought on fast and furious changes.

American Healthcare Workers Just Don’t Want To Go Back To Work
US healthcare workers have never been more in need, yet in the past 18 months they have been leaving their jobs in droves, and don’t seem to have much intention of going back. The latest job report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics showed yet another decline in the healthcare workforce, which lost 18,000 jobs in September, following a loss of more than 40,000 jobs in the first quarter of 2021. Nursing and health care facilities accounted for most of the losses, losing 38,000 jobs in September, while hospitals lost 8,000. Healthcare jobs for services provided outside a hospital, such as in walk-in clinics, actually increased by 28,000, but not enough to compensate for the other losses.
