☆ Irsina, the Italian village being repopulated by Americans
  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Silvia Marchetti | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +13 min
More than 15 families from the US and Canada have bought old properties in this remote village, known for its premium wheat fields and olive groves. The first foreign “pioneer” to buy a house in Irsina was Sandy Webster, a 63-year-old writer from San Diego. The couple fell in love with the village, bought an old house with thick stone walls, antique furniture and ancient maiolica-tile floors, and spent four years renovating it. “When we got here in 2016, over 80% of the population had fled to the newer district of Irsina, the old Irsina was empty and we loved how it looked. Their house, built into the old village walls, was on sale for 70,000 euros ($77,000).

Amazon told managers that it has decided to reduce the number of stock awards for employees in 2025. Amazon employees have been asking for a higher cash base pay, as its stock price dropped recently. A possibility, not a definite planIn an email to Insider, Amazon spokesperson August Aldebot-Green confirmed the accuracy of the memo. Amazon has historically offered less base cash pay compared to some of its peers. In the employee compensation statement, Amazon continues to bake in a 15% assumed stock price increase for 2024 and 2025.
☆ Inside a shake-up at the world's 'most feared law firm'
  + stars: | 2023-03-30 | by ( Casey Sullivan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +30 min
It's been a tumultuous period for Quinn and the storied law firm he built over the past 37 years — now the world's largest litigation firm with hourly rates that can be north of $2,000. But behind the scenes, a shift at QE has been the talk of elite law firm circles. Indeed, the firm – known as a singular, even freewheeling, institution that brands itself as the "#1 Most Feared Law Firm in the World" — may appear to be less in the image of its founder as a generational shift brings changes. "We all thought it was important that the world understands this is not a one generation law firm." One former firm partner in California says he believes Quinn's inner circle generally got better deals.

☆ Wall Street 2023 Predictions Already Wrong: Recession, Inflation, China
  + stars: | 2023-01-18 | by ( Linette Lopez | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +12 min
Across Wall Street, finance workers of all stripes are returning to work after skiing, gallivanting around the Caribbean, or just visiting Mom for the holiday season. Of course, there's some uncertainty in all this, and Wall Street could still be proved right. Already some Wall Street economists are revising their predictions given the strong economy, even if they're not backing off their priors quite yet. It may take years to get the Chinese consumer, on which Wall Street has placed so many hopes, back to the strength of yesteryear. Don't hatchet your chickens before they countTo be fair, not every Wall Street analyst is looking sheepish right now.

☆ Holiday travel is back — just maybe not with the service you’re used to

While travel demand is roaring back, many hotels, airlines, cruise operators and airports are still racing to hire and train workers. That means the level of customer service will likely take a hit, industry experts say. One potential bright spot can be found at sea: During the summer, several cruise lines had to cancel voyages due to staffing shortages, but major disruptions have been largely resolved. “It’s highly unlikely your holiday cruise will be canceled due to lack of staffing,” said Colleen McDaniel, editor-in-chief of Cruise Critic, a Tripadvisor-run travel site. “This year, I moved my annual holiday travel to earlier in December,” said Abby Rhinehart, an educational researcher in Tucson, Arizona.
☆ Drone strikes deep in Russia seen as Ukrainian rebuff to missile barrages

Military analysts saw the attacks as Kyiv's response to Russia on the same day that Moscow conducted another wave of missile strikes on critical infrastructure in Ukraine. wrote Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky. Musiyenko added: "It's a moment for Russia to wonder about continuing to conduct missile strikes on Ukrainian territory. It was not the first time Russia accused Ukraine of using such drones for attacks inside its borders. In an opinion piece on Nov. 29, Ukroboronprom's general director Yuriy Gusev called for an "asymmetrical response" by the Ukrainian army to Russian missile volleys.

Ukrainian officials revelled in the blasts but declined to acknowledge Kyiv's role, after Russia said Ukraine used unmanned Soviet-era aerial vehicles to attack two air force bases in the Ryazan and Saratov areas of south-central Russia. On Tuesday, a third Russian airfield in Kursk, which lies closer to Ukraine, was set ablaze in another drone strike.

☆ Analysis: Plenty for Belgium to ponder despite Canada win
  + stars: | 2022-11-23 | by ( Nick Said | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
Canada may well now have the same grumble following their Group F fixture at the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium on Wednesday. Without the injured Romelu Lukaku, who bullies the back four with a physical presence few other strikers can match, Belgium look a little light up front. It was perhaps fitting that their goal came from a route one long ball from defender Toby Alderweireld because they lacked the quality to open up Canada with intricate play. Belgium face Morocco on Sunday, another opponent they will find difficult to break down. The question will be how much does a clearly frustrated Martinez change his team and tactics.
☆ Your boss' 'optimism bubble' can create a workplace disaster — here's how to prevent it
  + stars: | 2022-11-20 | by ( Natasha Piñon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
The boss who insists everything is fine while employees grumble and think the exact opposite. According to leadership expert Megan Reitz, whose research focuses on the way people interact in the workplace, there's one major cause behind the discord, what she calls the "optimism bubble." Simply put, an optimism bubble refers to the tendency of leaders to overestimate how comfortable their employees feel raising concerns at work, as Reitz explained in a September TED Talk. One of the central components of the optimism bubble is a phenomenon Reitz dubs "advantage blindness." Reitz has a straightforward, four-point playbook for helping employers better respond to their workers' concerns around simmering social issues.
☆ Fall in love with a job you don't even like, in 3 steps

There are also factors connected to job happiness that we have little control over, such as your boss. But we don’t usually decide who our boss is, and they can suddenly change (for good or bad). And — in my own, less scientific, more DIY way — here are exercises I’ve been practicing to get into better work happiness shape. And the third lists things you’d like to be able to do in your job that you currently don’t — even if they have nothing to do with what you’re paid to do. Beyond whatever the job itself accomplishes, there is also meaning and purpose with what you do with your wages.
