Workers are struggling to get a handle on their jobs, and this failure falls on everyone — companies, managers, human-resources departments, and, in some cases, the workers themselves. The chaos has left employers, managers, and employees wondering just how much time and money it's worth investing in training in the first place. It's tough to learn by osmosis over Slack, and the deluge of HR apps and training modules isn't filling in the gaps. As workers and managers are increasingly overextended, these types of unmeasured, softer activities can fall by the wayside. Gavin emphasized that it's not just on companies and managers to make sure employees are learning and getting onboarded but also on individual workers.

The Boston-area university’s denial followed a reported claim by one of its professors that the political science department would no longer facilitate internships at Moulton’s office. “We have reached out to Congressman Moulton’s office to clarify that we have not — and will not — limit internship opportunities with his office,” the university said in a statement.

He examines how his team steps up when he takes PTO to determine whether he's hired the right people. I usually find vacation an opportunity to judge if I've hired the right team. Every time I've come back, I've felt the folks I've hired are the right people; they've stepped up, and they know they can make decisions. So when I'm going on vacation, I ask myself, who can I direct people to instead for questions they'd normally ask me?

I hate mixing my social life with my work life, so I avoid company social events. The prospect of mixing the work and social worlds gives me a headache. When I was young, it wasn't uncommon for my parents to come home late from a work social or happy hour. So, for the time being, I will avoid all company social events.

Jackie Cuevas shares email tips to avoid sharing personal or sensitive information at work. Cuevas advises against using targeted words in emails to prevent unintended HR issues. If you're buying lunch for yourself and your coworker, don't email them your credit card number. Words like 'bullying,' 'I'm being harassed,' or even 'name-calling' are targeted words, and when you use them, HR will investigate further. I don't advise using company time and property to say, 'Hey (coworker's name), you were such a b—in that meeting.'

The power needs of data centers will temporarily prolong the demand for coal, maintaining the reliability of the electric grid but delaying the nation's decarbonization goals, according to Moody's Ratings. The electricity demand from data centers could more than double to 35 gigawatts by 2030 compared to 17 gigawatts in 2022, according to a Moody's report published Monday. "It can be cost effective for them to supply coal to those power plants, and those power plants can, in turn, meet the incremental demand coming in from the new data centers," Sama said. The benefit to U.S. coal producers, however, will be temporary as data center developers transition to cleaner sources of power, according to Moody's. But sustained coal demand in the U.S. due to data centers could briefly lift prices before coal resumes its decline after a few years, according to Moody's.
