Truffle foragers in Italy have long sought to get rid of competition in search of "black gold." "It's all about getting rid of the competition," The Wall Street Journal reported Saverio Dogliani, a 57-year-old truffle hunter whose dog, Floki, has been poisoned twice, said. PHILIPPE LOPEZ/AFP via Getty ImagesThe poisoned treats claim the lives of multiple dogs and wildlife such as deer and foxes, each year. A group of truffle hunters wearing camouflage searched the area where Brando was poisoned, hoping to rid the brush of leftover poison. "It's getting worse," Agent Emanuele Gallo told The Wall Street Journal.

But too often, this behavior is an excuse for avoiding the mucky work of maintaining relationships, both personal and professional. Many managers and employees want to escape the unchecked animus they experience online, preferring the workplace feel like a safe cocoon. This year we should all work to reverse the trend and lean in to conflict — and conflict resolution — instead. Perfectionism affects and, in turn, limits the ways we feel safe communicating, which makes perfect sense. The pandemic, not surprisingly, is another culprit, exacerbating students’ experience of relational tension.

☆ Baseball’s Rule Change Shifts the Market for Left-Handed Pull Hitters
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-20 | by ( Lindsey Adler | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Upcoming rule changes in Major League Baseball may benefit a subsection of players who have signed new free agent deals this winter: Left-handed pull hitters, who have spent the past decade being victimized by baseball’s information age and increased efficiencies in defensive positioning. Major League Baseball next season will ban the defensive shifts that have been especially haunting for left-handed hitters in recent years. Shift victims—including former National League MVP Cody Bellinger, outfielders Andrew Benintendi and Joey Gallo, along with infielders Anthony Rizzo and Brandon Belt—may see an opportunity to improve their performance, and market value, due to the upcoming rule change.

The fed funds rate currently stands in the 4.25%-4.50% range. Plenty of investors believe the Fed will stick to its guns, even if the economy wobbles. The Fed's economic projections showed rates dropping to 4.1% in 2024, higher than estimated three months ago. She is expecting the gyrations that rocked bonds this year to continue, driven in part by investors second-guessing the Fed's commitment to keeping monetary policy tight. "We have a generation of traders that has never seen the Fed not bail it out when push comes to shove."

Dec 7 (Reuters) - BNP Paribas SA (BNPP.PA) has appointed several senior executives to its Global Markets Americas division, the European bank said on Wednesday, in a move to further consolidate its presence in the United States. The French bank appointed former Morgan Stanley executive Kunal Maini as the co-head of Global Macro - Americas and he will be responsible for globalizing the US Rates franchise. In addition, BNP also hired a string of executives to strengthen its credit portfolio at a time when global fixed income markets have come under immense pressure from soaring inflation and outsized interest rate hikes. John Hanisch was appointed the co-head of Secondary Credit Americas and Global Head of Securitized Products Trading; Charlie Shah the Head of IG & CDS Trading Americas and Bo Bazylevsky the Head of LatAm Flow Credit Trading. BNP's move to hire across divisions sharply contrasts global banks including HSBC Holdings PLC (HSBA.L) and Goldman Sachs (GS.N), which axed jobs to rein in costs.

☆ ‘The Bezos Blueprint’ Review: Is Brevity the Soul of Success?
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( Bill Heavey | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Ineffectual people like me are drawn to business books about successful people in the hope that some of their success will rub off on us. So we study Jeff Bezos and his ideas about leadership, or the tale of how Amazon grew from Mr. Bezos’s garage to an international empire. And, since it’s never too early to start your own little visionary on the road to world domination, there are even inspirational children’s books like “A Curious Boy Named Jeff.”Carmine Gallo thinks we’ve been looking in the wrong place. In “The Bezos Blueprint: Communication Secrets of the World’s Greatest Salesman,” he argues that we should be focusing on the entrepreneur’s overlooked and underappreciated communication skills, which, Mr. Gallo tells us, will “unleash your potential,” creating “an unstoppable cycle of success.” Having kept a tight leash on my potential for too long, I felt like this book was written specifically for me.
