"Big leaders have to identify big ideas," said Bezos, who has an estimated $234.9 billion net worth. "They have to enforce tough execution against those big ideas and they need to grow the next generation of leaders."

Dollar General is testing same-day delivery to customers’ homes as the deep discounter tries to fend off fiercer competition with Walmart. On an earnings call Thursday, Dollar General CEO Todd Vasos said the retailer “soft launched” the delivery program in September. Now it offers same-day delivery at about 75 stores, he said. Yet over the past year, Dollar General has felt the pinch from both economic challenges and its own strategy. But the option is still available at only a tiny fraction of Dollar General’s stores.

watch nowThe most immediate threat to President Joe Biden's Retirement Security Rule is that the Trump administration declines to keep defending it in court, attorneys said. What the DOL fiduciary rule doesA primary goal of the Department of Labor rule is to raise the investment-advice standard tied to 401(k)-to-IRA rollovers, especially those for certain insurance products, experts said. The new Labor rule "makes it highly likely that rollover recommendations are subject to a fiduciary standard," Reish said. The Biden-era rule would likely have the largest impact on insurance agents that sell "non-securities" products, which include certain annuities like indexed annuities, attorneys said. Texas courts likely to strike down DOL ruleTwo federal district courts in Texas issued a national "stay" of the regulation, in separate rulings in July.

CNN —A new analysis by Fidelity Investments, one of the largest providers of 401(k) retirement plans, found that the number of accounts with balances topping $1 million rose by 9.5% in the third quarter. The average balance in that group was $1.616 million, up from $1.595 million in the prior quarter. And the median — which represents the level below which half of the accounts had lower balances — was just $30,600. And it noted that 6,000 of the 26,000 401(k)s for which it serves as record keeper now have an auto-portability feature, which provides an automatic rollover service for those with small balances. Making it easier to move small 401(k) balances from one plan to another throughout your career can pay off in the long term.

It’s common for top executives of major corporations to have personal security provided by their companies. Alphabet paid $6.8 million for personal security of CEO Sundar Pichai. While six-figure costs are common, major companies typically report less costly security than those tech companies report, according to filings. Discovery, owner of CNN, spent $705,000 on security for CEO David Zaslav at his residences and during personal travel. It also spent $768,000 for his use of corporate aircraft for personal travel.

With a job market heating up and employee resentment boiling over, "revenge quitting" looks to be on the horizon for 2025. "Revenge quitting," she said, is where employees leave not just to move on "but to make a point." Revenge quitting is similar, with the added vengeance of moving on to something better. "Because if they're doing their job, they're going to be working on the individual team member engagement, retention, and motivation." For others, though, "revenge quitting" could impact them greatly.

In 2012, the now 47-year-old self-made millionaire was earning enough in passive and portfolio income to retire from his 9-to-5 at age 34. Leg 1: Tax-advantaged savingsA vestige from the traditional model, a tax-advantaged retirement account, such as a 401(k), is still an essential tool for retirement savers, Dogen says. That could contribute to an early retirement, if that's your goal, or it could lift some of the burden off your tax-advantaged accounts for providing retirement income. If possible, Dogen says to contribute even more to these accounts than your maximum retirement contributions — an admittedly tall ask for many employees. But if you can, aim for this portion of your portfolio to double or triple your retirement accounts in value by the time you're 60 years old, he says.

Traditionally, companies have only paid a 401(k) match to workers based on their voluntary contributions to the workplace retirement plan. Now, companies can treat a worker's student loan payments like an elective 401(k) plan contribution. Workers generally don't have to contribute to the 401(k) plan to qualify for the funds. Here's a general example: A 30-year-old participates in a 401(k) plan in 2024. Companies had the benefit prior to Secure 2.0Employers had begun offering a 401(k)-linked student loan benefit even before Secure 2.0.

Gorsuch, a key vote in transgender case, remains silentOne of the most notable twists in the hours of speaking was a conservative justice who decided to say nothing at all: Neil Gorsuch. It’s one of several issues that adds uncertainty to the future of the litigation around transgender rights. Transgender rights advocates have argued that that anti-transgender laws aimed at supposedly protecting children are just the start of a strategy that would ultimately go after all transgender people. Transgender lawyer makes history in SCOTUS faceoffAs the conservative justices signaled support for the Tennessee law, they were forced to do so before the first openly transgender attorney to argue a case at the Supreme Court. Strangio thanked those who braved the frigid Washington, DC, weather to stand up for their rights and the rights of transgender people across the country.

A little more than four years ago, the Supreme Court delivered a surprise victory to L.G.B.T.Q. Rejecting the position of the Trump administration, the court ruled by a lopsided margin that a federal civil rights law protected transgender people from workplace discrimination. In the intervening years, transgender rights have become a ferocious battleground in the culture wars, and controversies over health care, bathrooms, sports and pronouns played a prominent role in the presidential campaign. But the Supreme Court has had only glancing encounters with such issues since the employment discrimination case in 2020, which featured a majority opinion from Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, Mr. Trump’s first appointee to the court. That will change on Wednesday, when the court hears its second major case on transgender rights, a challenge to a Tennessee law that prohibits some medical treatments for transgender youths.

As June’s Pride Month festivities were nearing a conclusion, Tractor Supply released a statement that put LGBTQ+ rights proponents on alert. With that move, Tractor Supply became the first domino to fall as companies began pulling out of the Corporate Equality Index. For Tractor Supply and some others, it marked a staunch turn in policy. For former Tractor Supply customer Ashe Taylor-Austin, the retailer’s announcement pushed them to look elsewhere when purchasing supplies for their horse. “When we got the news about Tractor Supply, I immediately started shopping around,” said Taylor-Austin, who switched to buying from a small business.

Strangio, an attorney for the ACLU, is set to make history Wednesday as the first known transgender person to argue before the US Supreme Court. With hindsight, Strangio’s career can appear like it’s been hurtling toward this week’s Supreme Court appearance. Esseks often gets asked, he said, whether the ACLU tapped Strangio to present its case before the Supreme Court because he’s trans. The Supreme Court ruling also could be life-altering for physicians like Dr. Izzy Lowell, whose telehealth practice, QueerMed, provides hormone therapy and other services for transgender and nonbinary people. “I think about all of the arguments that have that have been held in the Supreme Court over just the basic dignity of people.
