"I'll just hopefully drop dead in the middle of a song on stage someday, hopefully one I've written." But, Parton said, a few things could convince her to stop working after 60-plus years in the music industry. "As long as I'm able to work, as long as my health is good, and my husband is good," she said. "I have new dreams every day … I've got lots of dreams," Parton said of her future aspirations, noting that she wants to have her own network television show, as well as her own makeup and wig lines. Part of what motivates Parton to keep working, she added, is wanting to see all of her professional goals through to the end.

Jane Roberts was paid more than $10 million by a host of elite law firms, a whistleblower alleges. At least one of those firms argued a case before Chief Justice Roberts after paying his wife hundreds of thousands of dollars. And I realized that even the law firms who were Jane's clients had nowhere to go. Mark Jungers, another one of Jane Roberts' former colleagues, said that Jane was smart, talented, and good at her job. But whether that committee has the authority to discipline Thomas or any other Supreme Court Justice remains a matter of murky constitutional interpretation, to be ultimately decided by the Supreme Court itself.

That figure is even higher for EMEA- and APAC-based finance execs, with 73% and 61%, respectively, saying that the average CFO tenure was under five years. An analysis of 679 Fortune 500 and S&P 500 companies in 2022 by Crist Kolder Associates also found that average CFO tenure is on the decline, at five years. The pre-2022 IPO and funding boom has likely increased CFO turnover as new opportunities arose more frequently. Gutzeit says the current economic environment, with increasing layoffs and corporate restructuring, should influence more CFOs to stay put. She expects a slight decline in CFO turnover as "people are going to be more cautious about where they're going and what is changing."
