Some 66% of U.S. workers say companies should adopt extended vacation policies, like a month off in August, in their workplaces, according to a Morning Consult survey of 1,047 U.S. adults. Several countries offer even more by law before paid public holidays come into play, which can add up to more than a month of business days in vacation time per year. But not all U.S. workers say they'd welcome longer vacation policies: 21% of Americans say companies should not adopt extended PTO policies in their workplace, while the remaining respondents say they don't know or don't have an opinion. The survey didn't specifically address the concerns of those against extended time off work, says Ellyn Briggs, brands analyst at Morning Consult.

But in some countries around the world, workers regularly take more than a month of paid vacation days and even build stronger teams for it. The 25-year-old works in social media in London, where UK workers are entitled to 28 paid vacation days each year. That's roughly two months of business days in vacation time per year. "I like the saying that 'you work in PR, not the ER,'" Naumova adds. She finds it pretty easy to request days off and says her company helps people pace their breaks.

Just before his visit to an Atlanta jail to be booked on 13 felony counts, Donald J. Trump has shaken up his Georgia legal defense team, adding Steve Sadow, a veteran criminal defense lawyer who has taken on a number of high-profile cases. Mr. Trump’s decision comes soon after one of his lawyers, Drew Findling, and his two other lawyers in Atlanta, Jennifer Little and Marissa Goldberg, negotiated a $200,000 bond for Mr. Trump, who is one of 19 defendants in a sweeping racketeering indictment charging them with engaging in a “criminal enterprise” that sought to overturn Mr. Trump’s 2020 election loss in Georgia. Mr. Findling is unlikely to be kept on, according to a person familiar with the matter, while Ms. Little will be retained. On Thursday, Mr. Trump is expected to surrender at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta, where he is likely to be fingerprinted, photographed and have his weight recorded, the protocol for all criminal defendants in the county.

Global experiments to test a four-day workweek have gotten workers, and their bosses, onboard with the idea. It's worth noting the Morning Consult survey defined a four-day workweek as working four days a week for 10-plus hours a day. There are surprising generational differences at play: 93% of millennials and 88% of Gen Xers lead the way in being interested in a shorter workweek. Baby boomers, meanwhile, show the least amount of interest (72%) in a shorter week. Workers say they most want the benefit to improve their commute, work-life balance and to avoid discomfort working in an office.

Tens of thousands of workers, from Hollywood writers and actors to hotel workers to UPS drivers, have taken part in the "summer of strikes." "When you see another union succeed, you're more inclined to push yourself for a better deal," he adds. "There's a contagion effect in seeing the [strike] strategy working, and you're more likely to use it yourself." "Good wages, benefits and job protections that you see in unionized jobs are going to attract workers. "Hollywood is a good example," he adds, "where people in technical trades that support productions have a lot of protections and benefits.

CNN —Former President Donald Trump has agreed to a $200,000 bond and other release conditions after his lawyers met with the Fulton County District Attorney’s office on Monday, according to court documents reviewed by CNN. According to a new court filing on Monday, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has reached a bond agreement with one of Trump’s co-defendants: conservative attorney John Eastman. Eastman’s $100,000 bond order is the first to appear on the Fulton County court website. Law enforcement presence remains at an elevated level at the Fulton County court complex. According to a news release from the sheriff’s office on Monday, the barricades around the Fulton County courthouse will remain in place until Saturday.

I'll be going to Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday to be ARRESTED by a Radical Left District Attorney, Fani Willis," Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who launched the investigation into Trump and his allies, has given the defendants until noon Friday to voluntarily surrender. Trump earlier Monday agreed to a $200,000 bond in the Georgia criminal case charging him with trying to illegally overturn the 2020 presidential election results in the state. Eastman — who's referenced but not charged as a co-conspirator in special counsel Jack Smith's federal criminal case against Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the 2020 election results — features prominently and repeatedly in the DA's indictment. Ray Smith, another Trump lawyer who was allegedly involved in the electors scheme, agreed to a $50,000 bond order, court filings show.

Nationally, the average American gets 10 vacation days — all public holidays like Memorial Day and Thanksgiving — after a year of service. Several countries offer even more by law, giving workers more than a month of business days in vacation time per year. Here are nine European countries that give workers more than a month of paid vacations a year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development:France: 30 days of paid vacation per yearUnited Kingdom: 28 days of paid vacation per yearAustria: 25 days of paid vacation per yearDenmark: 25 days of paid vacation per yearFinland: 25 days of paid vacation per yearNorway: 25 days of paid vacation per yearSpain: 25 days of paid vacation per yearSweden: 25 days of paid vacation per yearPortugal: 22 days of paid vacation per yearGiven the culture of rest prioritized around Europe, many workers get even more days off from their company. While Swedes are guaranteed 25 paid vacation days by law, her employer adds a few extra days to bring her up to 30 paid vacation days a year. In Norway, Lene Vindenes, 28, gets 25 paid vacation days per year, and her company requires her to take three weeks of vacation during the summer between June and August.

Looking for a new job can take a lot of time, especially if you're already working another job while you search. It doesn't have to take a ton of time, either, says Marissa Morrison, vice president of people at the job search site ZipRecruiter. Like many hiring experts, she sees the value in leveraging artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT to get this done, too. For example, you might write a prompt in ChatGPT to "write resume bullet points for [insert job title here] and include metric-based achievements."

Mark Meadows, Trump's former White House chief of staff, and lawyers Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman were among those charged. "Rather than abide by Georgia's legal process for election challenges, the defendants engaged in a criminal, racketeering enterprise to overturn Georgia's presidential election result," Willis said at a press conference. A third indictment, in Washington federal court, accuses him of illegally seeking to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Trump persists in falsely claiming he won the November 2020 election although dozens of court cases and state probes have found no evidence to support his claim. Willis's investigation drew on testimony from Trump advisers including Giuliani, who urged state lawmakers in December 2020 not to certify the election, and Republican state officials like Raffensperger and Governor Brian Kemp, who refused to echo Trump's false election claims.

Applying to a new job can feel like a full-time job itself, so it's important to be strategic about how you pace your search. According to ZipRecruiter's database, which includes 10 million active listings, Tuesday is the best day of the week to apply to a job, when some 22% of new jobs are added to the site. Meanwhile, "Sundays are not the best day to apply for jobs," she says. "You may be missing the opportunity to be among one of the first to apply for the freshest jobs." It's also a good reminder to take breaks during your job search so you don't get burned out: "Let yourself have days where you don't apply for jobs so that you can have that balance in your job search," Morrison says.

But for today's youngest workers, one big thing holding them back is guilt. Some 35% of Gen Z workers say they feel guilty not working when they're on vacation, versus the 29% U.S. average across age ranges. That's according to LinkedIn's latest Workforce Confidence Index, based on a survey of 9,461 U.S. professionals this summer. "Gen Z is very conscientious," Anders tells CNBC Make It. They may have different habits, such as dress code preferences or desires of the location where they work, "but from what we're seeing, Gen Z's commitment to delivering good work is as intense as any other generation."

A majority, 81%, of workers say they'd be more productive if they were given the chance to work a four-day workweek, and it could be an even bigger boost for those facing high rates of burnout, according to new research. Workers in fields with notoriously high rates of burnout were the most likely to say they'd get more done if they were able to shift to a four-day schedule: health-care workers, teachers, and retail and hospitality professionals. Participants in global four-day workweek experiments say the new arrangement led to reduced burnout, as well as benefits for their health, finances and relationships. Meanwhile, those in legal, accounting and finance roles say a shortened week would not boost their productivity. By gender, women (88%) were more likely than men (75%) to say they'd get more done from a shorter workweek.

People take selfies beneath the Hollywood sign as the WGA (Writers Guild of America) strike continues on July 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. "A lot of different people are impacted surrounding the industry," Holmes says, "and it's causing them a lot of hardship." How long could the strike lastSome experts say the current strike could set the record for the longest writers' strike in Hollywood history. If strikes last until October, Holmes estimates the economic cost will total closer to $4 billion to $5 billion. The WGA represents 11,500 members, while SAG-AFTRA represents roughly 160,000 members.

Members of the Writers Guild of America have been on strike for 100 days, and writers are getting creative to keep striking even longer. The last WGA strike, which started in 2007, lasted for 100 days and led to 37,700 lost jobs and a $2.1 billion blow to the California economy, according to the Milken Institute, an economic think tank. Many writers, including Kyra Jones, a TV writer in Los Angeles, saw the piece as an intimidation tactic.

The job market for tech workers remains strong, and especially so for those picking up emerging artificial intelligence skills. For comparison, India was hiring for 25,900 AI jobs and the UK was hiring for 16,825 roles involving the skill in June. But given the emerging and quickly developing nature of the tools, it can be tricky to display your expertise in a particular AI skill as a job candidate, Neave says. With that being said, Neave recommends interested job applicants build up their AI skills and stand out from the competition in three key ways:Stay on top of developments. "If you want to take it to the next level, you can fine-tune these large language models based on your proprietary business data," Neave says.

The U.S. is leading the way in artificial intelligence and generative AI jobs, according to data from the global job search platform Adzuna. Neave says generalist workers can build their AI skills, and boost their employability, in three steps:First, get to know the most popular AI tools. "Once you feel confident enough using it, seek out and find any way to use it in your day-to-day work," Neave says. It's a good idea to check with your manager about your company's policy on using AI in your work before doing so. And get a clear understanding of what you're allowed to input into generative AI tools and what you're not.

Young workers are going all in with salary transparency, whether they're sharing how much they're paid with social media followers or co-workers and friends in real life. And Charlotte Chaze, 32, a Philadelphia-based tech worker took it another step further: She recently posted the salaries of all of her previous jobs to her LinkedIn profile. "I believe in salary transparency, and I wanted to show others what's possible," Chaze tells CNBC Make It. Despite the buzz of her experiment, Chaze says she doesn't actually recommend other workers do the same because it could work against them. Rather, Chaze would rather companies carry the responsibility of salary transparency.

But there's one indication that things are tilting back toward worker flexibility: an uptick in remote and hybrid jobs. All industries are offering more remote or hybrid roles month-over-month, according to ManpowerGroup data. In the tech sector, 34% of open roles in May allowed for remote or hybrid flexibility — by June, that share reached 40%. Nationally, just 11% of open jobs on LinkedIn are remote, but they attract close to 50% of total job applications as of May.

The U.S. may not be the best destination for expats to live and work abroad, but it does stand out in one big way: its career opportunities. The U.S. ranks highly overall for its working abroad index, according to the latest "Expat Insider" report from Internations, the global community for people who live and work abroad. Expats are generally unhappy with the cost of living in the U.S., with roughly half saying daily expenses are too high. And the country is only the second-worst when it comes to the affordability and accessibility of quality health care. Want to be smarter and more successful with your money, work & life?

The investigation has examined whether the former president and his allies illegally interfered in the 2020 election in Georgia, where Mr. Trump lost narrowly to President Biden. The special grand jury heard evidence for roughly seven months and recommended indictments of more than a dozen people; its forewoman strongly hinted in an interview with The New York Times in February that Mr. Trump was among them. To bring any charges, Ms. Willis must now seek indictments from a regular grand jury. The Trump team’s filing raises a number of legal concerns, both about Georgia law relating to special grand juries and about how a special grand jury was used in this inquiry. Mr. Trump’s lawyers have already sought to scuttle the investigation with a motion, filed in March, to quash much of the collected evidence and take Ms. Willis off the investigation.

There were 7.6 million open jobs in the U.S. in June, according to the Adzuna database, with a growing share calling for AI skills: 169,045 jobs in the U.S. cited AI needs, and 3,575 called for generative AI work in particular. The average tax manager job that'll use AI pays $100,445 a year, according to Adzuna data. AI jobs have been around for decades but exploded in recent months as ChatGPT entered the scene in late 2022. Companies like EY explicitly listed AI as one of their top three hiring priorities, while Wells Fargo and Kaiser Permanente are implementing it across their workflows. Those interested in building their generative AI skills can look into certification and training courses online, from the University of Michigan, Coursera and other e-learning platforms.

"DEI leaders are facing extreme fatigue and burnout," says Chandra Robinson, vice president in the Gartner HR practice. "Unfortunately," she says, "with so much attention paid to DEI, undue pressures are put on DEI leaders to make progress" quickly. Half of DEI leaders say their biggest challenge is when other leaders fail to take ownership for driving diversity outcomes, and one-third say they have limited power to effectively drive change, according to a 2022 Gartner survey of 181 DEI leaders. Black women are more likely than women overall to aspire to executive roles, according to the joint Lean In and McKinsey "Women in the Workplace" report. But they also face more barriers to advance in their career: Black women leaders are more likely to be undermined at work, and 1 in 3 Black women leaders says they've been denied or passed over for opportunities because of personal characteristics, including their race and gender.
