☆ A day in the life of an American startup founder in Singapore who juggles timezones, 8 employees, and WhatsApp chats with hundreds of customers

As a startup founder, no day is exactly the same. This is a relatively new part of her daily routine, and something she used to think was "impossible" to make time for as a startup founder. A typical day: Communicating with customers, paring down meetings, and saving admin for the eveningA chunk of Jiang's day consists of interacting with Peek customers via WhatsApp chat. In general, she says she has "way fewer meetings" as a startup founder than she did in the corporate world. Jiang and her partner, who is also a startup founder, also block out one night a week — Thursday — to set work aside and "just hang out," she said.

☆ Companies are 'unbossing' the workplace, and millennial managers are getting axed

Read previewCompanies are increasingly ditching middle management positions, and it could be millennials who find their jobs are most at risk. While Galvin said the intent of reducing middle management is to streamline communication between employees and senior executives, the impact could be unfairly balanced. AdvertisementMiddle management positions accounted for almost a third of layoffs in 2023, according to an analysis for Bloomberg — an increase from 20% in 2018. It just so happens that a lot of middle managers are millennials. Many current middle managers are also burned out with their teams being downsized, and an increased workload.

☆ Live Results: Mary Peltola defeats Sarah Palin and others: Alaska's at-large district US House election

Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola won against three others — including Sarah Palin — in Alaska's at-large congressional district. Alaska has only one congressional district and therefore does not go through a redistricting process. Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola of Alaska has defeated three challengers in Alaska's at-large congressional district general election — most notably former Gov. Palin, the former governor of Alaska, has known Peltola for years and served alongside her in the Alaska state house. Although Alaska's 2022 general election, much like the special election, will largely be centered around Peltola and Palin, Alaska's ranked choice voting system makes this a four-way race.
