Read previewDuring a rally in Nevada on Sunday, former President Donald Trump proposed eliminating taxes on income earned from tips. It could also mean consumers — many already experiencing tipping fatigue as tipping culture pervades more industries — would be asked to tip in additional situations so workers could receive untaxed income. AdvertisementA spokesperson for the Trump campaign told BI that, if elected, Trump planned to ask Congress to eliminate taxes on tips.

☆ CEOs share the 3 kinds of toxic employees you never want to be: 'Have some honesty about it'
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

So, whether you want help recognizing the toxic employees around you — or you'd like to avoid becoming one yourself — watch out for these three red flags, CEOs say. The entitled employeeDon't ever act like you're owed a promotion or raise, says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing and recruiting firm LaSalle Network. "[People who say] 'I'm only going to do what's in my job description, I'm not going the extra mile, I'm not going to commit time to this' and expect to be rewarded" aren't desirable employees, Gimbel tells CNBC Make It. Sometimes, employees are caught off-guard when colleagues with less tenure get promoted first, but time alone doesn't entitle anyone to a promotion. When the employee turned in the work, it contained a noticeable error — and they blamed Fox, saying her instructions were unclear.

☆ CEO: Here's the No. 1 most common type of good boss people actually like—and how to become it
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-22 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

One common type of good boss really sticks out from the rest, says workplace culture expert Tom Gimbel: the people person. Traditionally, good bosses have skills in areas like time management, constructive criticism and simply being able to help co-workers through day-to-day tasks. "The more authentic you are, the more people are going to connect with you and enjoy your company," Gimbel tells CNBC Make It. Here's how you, too, can become a "people person" at work, experts say. Sharing stories with the people around you shows that you want to build a relationship with them, and reminds them that they can "laugh a little bit and enjoy our work," Gimbel adds.

☆ Jobs report Friday is expected to show a slowing but still healthy labor market

If the forecast is close to accurate, it would mark a considerable downshift from January's explosive growth of 353,000, but still representative of a fairly vibrant labor market. "This is kind of a cautious labor market. ZipRecruiter's quarterly job-seeker survey showed expectations for the medium-term outlook hitting a series high, while applicants also indicated stronger levels of confidence in their financial wellbeing and current state of the labor market. A jobs market that remains red-hot could deter the Federal Reserve from cutting interest rates this year as expected. In its most recent survey of economic conditions, the Fed found that the ultra-tight labor market has loosened somewhat, but there are still active pockets.

☆ A 25-year hiring pro's favorite question to ask candidates: 'You find out if people are authentic'
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-30 | by ( Jennifer Liu | In Jljenniferliu | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

For Tom Gimbel, CEO of LaSalle Network, hearing how a candidate describes their shortcomings is just as important as how they paint their expertise. Gimbel says he's made offers to "hundreds and hundreds" of people during his 25 years in the hiring game. Gimbel's reasoning for posing the prompt is straightforward: "You find out if people are authentic. And if somebody can't do the same, then are they really being realistic with you on any of their answers?" Gimbel prefers to save the question for the tail end of the interview as a barometer for whether the candidate was being self-aware and authentic for the entire conversation.

A favorable vote would ask the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative to pursue a new river compact, according to a draft copy of the motion. “People are aware of how those low levels on the Mississippi River affect commerce and the communities,” she said. The Upper Mississippi River Basin Association has existed for decades to foster cooperative management of the river. Jennifer Gimbel, senior water policy scholar at Colorado State University, said the obstacles to a pipeline are high. Dorothy said a compact would be a good way to say “this is our water.”“If you want the Mississippi River water, you can move here," she said.

☆ Astrud Gilberto, Who Shot to Fame With ‘The Girl From Ipanema,’ Dies at 83
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-06 | by ( Jim Farber | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Astrud Gilberto, whose soft and sexy vocal performance on “The Girl From Ipanema,” the first song she ever recorded, helped make the sway of Brazilian bossa nova a hit sound in the United States in the 1960s, died on Monday. Ms. Gilberto enjoyed a four-decade recording career, recording albums with celebrated musicians like James Last and Gil Evans as well as working with George Michael, Chet Baker and others. But her biggest success came with “The Girl From Ipanema,” written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luiz Bonfa, with English lyrics by Norman Gimbel. When Ms. Gilberto recorded that song, she was married to João Gilberto, the Brazilian singer and guitarist often referred to as the father of the bossa nova. In 1963, the two of them traveled from Rio de Janeiro to New York City, where he was set to record a joint album with the jazz saxophonist Stan Getz, who had already released three albums that mixed jazz with samba and bossa nova.

Astrud Gilberto, the Brazilian singer, songwriter and entertainer whose off-hand, English-language cameo on "The Girl from Ipanema" made her a worldwide voice of bossa nova, has died at age 83. "The Girl from Ipanema," the wistful ballad written by Antônio Carlos Jobim and Vinícius de Moraes, was already a hit in South America. In a 2002 interview with friends posted on her web site, Astrud Gilberto remembered her husband saying he had a surprise for her at the recording studio. "When we were finished performing the song, Joao turned to Stan, and said something like: 'Tomorrow Astrud sing on record… What do you think?' Astrud Gilberto sings "The Girl from Ipanema" in a light, affectless style that influenced Sade and Suzanne Vega among others, as if she had already moved on to other matters.

☆ January job growth is forecast to slow slightly, but the impact from big corporate layoffs is uncertain
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-02 | by ( Patti Domm | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

Economists expect slightly slower, but still strong job growth in January, while the impact of corporate layoff announcements is unclear. According to Dow Jones, the consensus forecast calls for 187,000 new nonfarm jobs in January, down from 223,000 that were created in December. "The number is not really the number of jobs created, but how many fewer workers were let go," he said. The jobs report is of key importance for the Federal Reserve, which has been trying to slow the economy —and inflation — by cooling the hot labor market. Goldman Sachs economists forecast a payrolls increase of 300,000 for last month and said their above consensus forecast was based on the fact that companies do not yet seem to be implementing layoffs, despite the announcements.

☆ November job growth slowed but will still show strength despite layoffs, hiring freezes

Job growth in November was expected to have slowed while remaining strong, even in the face of layoffs and job freezes at major companies. The economy is expected to have added 200,000 jobs, less than the 261,000 in October, according to Dow Jones. Economists forecast the unemployment rate was steady at 3.7%, and average wage growth slowed to 0.3% month-over-month, from 0.4% in October. She said the number of workers out for illness could continue to be a factor, and there have been more announcements of hiring freezes. But big tech and venture capital backed firms are not hiring as much, or are reducing workforces, he added.

When Louis S. “Tom” Gimbel III was a boy, his father’s side of the family ran the Gimbels department-store chain, including a huge store at Herald Square in Manhattan. His mother’s family brewed Rheingold beer and traded in hops. After graduating from Yale and serving in the Air Force, Mr. Gimbel chose hops over retailing. He joined the family’s S.S. Steiner Inc. in the 1950s, took a crash course in brewing, moved into sales and by the late 1960s, was running the company with his younger brother, Stinor. He later bought his brother’s stake and ran the company on his own.

Here are those five types of bad bosses, from most to least common — and how to deal with them, according to Gimbel. Ghost bossA ghost boss takes an extreme "hands-off" approach, failing to keep track of their team's work and not being available when their team needs help, Gimbel says. His recommendation: Regularly update your boss about your work and ask questions whenever you need help. Narcissist bossNarcissist bosses make decisions according to their own wants and needs, and fail to consider the people around them at work, Gimbel says.

Others only seem good at first, and you can use this guide to differentiate between the two, says workplace culture expert Tom Gimbel. "There's an expression: 'People join companies, but they quit bosses," Gimbel tells CNBC Make It. Gimbel says there are seven types of bosses, with one clearly better than the rest. Socializing at work certainly isn't bad, but Gimbel says those bosses prioritize making friends over properly leading and keeping a team accountable. Those bosses don't realize that it's largely their fault when a finished assignment is far from what they want.
