The World Cup kicks off on June 11, and plenty of matches will be played during the workday. (June 17, I’m looking at you. Portugal vs. DR Congo starts at 1 p.m. ET, followed by England vs. Croatia just three hours later.)

The pandemic-era “golden age of employee benefits” is over.
At least, that’s the message some employers are sending as companies like Deloitte and Zoom slash paid parental leave and other family-friendly benefits.
And make no mistake, employees are paying attention.
For the past decade, and particularly since Covid sent most workers to their homes, employers
I never expected to fall in love with English football in my 50s. Yet here we are.A couple of years ago, I started following Arsenal FC. What began as casual curiosity turned into waking up early on weekends, structuring Saturdays around matches, and finding my way to our local Arsenal supporters’ bar.What’s struck me most
When my daughter was in high school, we fired her therapist.
Not because therapy doesn’t work. Not because she didn’t need help. But because the therapist insisted on something that was deeply counterproductive—an obsessive focus on the negative.

On this week’s episode of the Norah and Dad Show, we talked about what Delta Zeta has come to mean to her, and I couldn’t help but smile listening to her. Greek life was never my thing, but I’m genuinely glad it’s hers. She’s found her people—and not just a social circle, but a group
One in four employees have considered quitting because of their mental health.

Employers love arbitration agreements. They keep disputes private and out of court.
An Ohio appellate court just made that crystal clear in Hansbrough v. Marshall Dennehey.
The employer did what employers do. It pointed to a signed arbitration agreement and moved to compel arbitration of
Last year, in Muldrow v. City of St. Louis, SCOTUS rewrote what counts as an “adverse employment action” under Title VII. The old rule required something “materially” adverse—real harm. That’s gone.
