Tech Job Posting ‘We Hire Old People’ Went Viral For Highlighting Ageism
A job listing for a software developer role advertising, “We do not discriminate based on age. Experience matters. We hire old people,” should seem innocuous. Of course, companies would hire older job seekers. However, that’s an idealistic viewpoint. In practice, seasoned workers face ageism.
China Clamps Down On Large Companies, Excessive ‘996’ Work Culture And Powerful Businesspeople To Keep Control
China is clamping down on its “excessive work culture that pervades the country’s largest corporations,” Bloomberg reported.

U.S. Compliance Job Market Is Improved, But Structural Shifts And Uncertainties Persist

FDA’s Approval Of The Pfizer Vaccine Has Prompted Companies And Cities To Require Mandatory Vaccinations, Masks And Testing

In A Euphoric Announcement, The FDA Approves Pfizer-BioNTech Vaccine
The United States is an angrily divided nation. Everything has become politicized, leading to arguments online and in the real world. The loudest fight lately is over taking your shots. One group proudly proclaims that they’ve been vaccinated and chastises those who haven’t.

They’re concerned about the short and long-term effects of the vaccines and also contend that they don’t want the government to tell them what to do with their own bodies.

Don’t Fall For The ‘We Are Like A Family’ And ‘You’ll Miss The Corporate Culture’ Schtick To Lure You Back Into The Office
Managers will say, “you’ll miss out on the corporate culture at home” or “we are like a family” to entice you to return to the office. This sounds nice and inviting. You want to believe it. But is it true? Pre-pandemic, you spent more time at work than with your spouse, partner, children and friends. You most likely had a work-husband or wife. There were a few co-workers that you considered good friends, but not necessarily equivalent to family members. Now that you’ve been home with your real family for nearly two years, would you consider going back to the office to be with your work-family?
