Even for 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig, negotiating a salary isn't always easy. And while her salary has not been made public, the movie has a budget of $145 million, according to Variety. Within the movie industry, Gerwig believes there is a need for more women directors. And Gerwig isn't alone in her fear of asking for too much. But for Gerwig, directing movies comes with a much different pay structure than other professions.

Researchers explain how both employees and companies can benefit from a hybrid work model. What's more, these data points have leveled off in the last few months, Bloom told Insider. Bloom's paper concluded that hybrid work had a "flat or even slightly positive" impact on productivity and improved employee recruitment and retention. Remote work could rise in the years ahead as technology improvesPer Bloom's most recent estimates, 60% of Americans work fully in-person, 30% work in-person between one and four days per week, and 10% work fully remotely. But Harvard's Choudhury said there's one reason a recession wouldn't crush the remote work movement.

As a woman and a person of color, I've been on the receiving end of many microaggressions. "It's not enough to simply eliminate negative interactions — we also need to encourage positive ones."

Highly successful people often know exactly when to give up, according to bestselling author and former professional poker player Annie Duke. Sometimes, you see something that other people don't see," Duke, a decision-making consultant, recently told the Harvard Business Review's "On Strategy" podcast.

MIAMI, May 6 (Reuters) - Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff slammed the Formula One outfit's car as "a nasty piece of work" on Saturday after a frustrating qualifying effort for the Miami Grand Prix left the Austrian scratching his head and at times speechless. But it has been all downhill from there with Russell qualifying sixth for Sunday's race and Hamilton 13th, his worst ever qualifying at any circuit in the United States. "It's the lack of comprehension of what it is, that makes this car such a nasty piece of work. "I think that the car is not a nice car, not a good car and I wouldn't even be able to point out fundamentally it's just...," paused Wolff searching for the right words. "That's worse than I thought because we have 20 months on since we were last time in Miami and the car is just marginally better," said Wolff.
With an Oscar-winning career spanning more than 80 films over four decades, Tom Hanks knows a thing or two about making movies. But when it came time for the 66-year-old to sit down and write his first novel, Hanks needed help.

"I just do writing," Hanks said. Hanks' novel will be released on May 9.
Management consultancies helped design vaccination programs during the pandemic and are currently providing advice on how to rescue one of the world’s biggest banks. The $230 billion management consulting industry is a broad church: it includes companies offering everything from project management expertise to designing new organizational structures. Many big firms — think EY and KPMG — also conduct audits and advise on their clients’ tax issues, though these services are generally seen as distinct from their consulting work. In The Big Con, published in February, prize-winning economist Mariana Mazzucato and her co-author Rosie Collington argue that management consultancies “infantilize” governments by keeping them dependent on their services. Nearly 80% of firms surveyed globally have told the think-tank that consultants’ work is either of high or very high quality, she noted.

In September 2021, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) proposed that stock buybacks should be taxed at 2%. Lazonick, who thought any minor buyback tax would be ineffective, says he has been proven correct. If a higher buyback tax is enacted, he is betting it will not have the outcomes that Democrats envision. While it's hard to see a higher tax getting passed in the current Congress, it does make sense for Biden to state his desire for 4%. Changing a buyback tax, though, might first prove harder.

Your college degree might not matter quite as much in your 2023 job search as it used to. That translates to a de-emphasis on four-year degrees, McRae says: One of the most useful ways to attract "nontraditional candidates" is removing education requirements. Amid a tight labor market, the trend could accelerate dramatically this year. Based on current trends, they projected 1.4 million jobs could open up to workers without college degrees in the next five years. So, what does a potential influx of "nontraditional candidates" mean for you?
