  + stars: | 2023-01-11 | by ( Jesse Pound | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
At the same time, several online retail stocks have boomed, thanks in part to China abandoning its zero Covid policy. That has created a large gap between some retail ETFs, with broader funds lagging behind those with an e-commerce focus. For example, the Amplify Online Retail ETF (IBUY) and ProShares Online Retail ETF (ONLN) gained 7.7% and 8.1%, respectively in the first five trading days of the year. IBUY YTD mountain Online retail ETFs like IBUY are off to a fast start in 2023.

So if workplace weight loss programs don’t actually improve employee health — what is it they are attempting to do? And yet, workplace wellness programs that focus on weight loss and other fatphobic-related measures like BMI and fat percentage persist. There’s not much evidence to suggest these workplace weight loss programs even reduce costs. So we’re shaming fat folks, excluding people with disabilities and triggering those of us recovering from eating disorders for ... absolutely no reason at all. And any workplace wellness program that specifically incentivizes weight loss should be acknowledged as harmful and ended immediately.

Law firms are famously resistant to change, but they are also grappling with how to best use spaces that cost them top dollar, as well as how to coax people back to the office post-Covid. Shearman & Sterling LLP’s newly renovated headquarters in Midtown Manhattan boasts a slate of amenities such as an on-site wellness center, yoga studio and nap rooms, as well as an expanded cafe space with a bowtie-wearing barista taking free coffee orders. What it doesn’t have are sprawling offices for top partners, long a marker of status at the top of the law-firm ladder. Instead, office sizes now are uniform for firm veterans and junior colleagues alike. Shearman is also exploring a hot-desking option for lawyers who spend part of each week working from home, meaning that attorneys with hybrid work schedules would float between temporary workspaces instead of having a permanently assigned office.
