“Even though people enjoy the rewards associated with mental tasks, these same people also do not enjoy the mental effort that’s involved. Your brain has no nerve endings, so a pain in the brain is not like having a pain in the neck. But the mental effort it takes to think hard can be so upsetting that some people will choose physical pain instead. However, 28% of the participants still chose physical pain over mental strain, even when the pain was most intense. “Concentrating also means it’s impossible to do other things because the brain really can’t multitask.

It's called working a "hushed hybrid" schedule, and unlike other forms of sneakily evading a return to the office, you actually want — no, need — your boss to know about this one to make it work. Hushed hybrid refers to employees working from home more often than companywide policies would otherwise permit them to, thanks to the flexibility of their managers. AdvertisementWhile some workers could benefit from working "hushed hybrid," uneven enforcement of work policies could raise questions of favoritism. That could help eliminate the need for "hushed hybrid" working. Depending on how companies track attendance at the office, some managers may not be able to cover up for their employees' remote work.

Read previewAmazon's recent decision to stop accepting new users for several cloud services caught some customers, partners and even a few employees by surprise. No new customers, no new featuresFor a business as important as AWS, deprioritizing services is a tricky balancing act. However, at the scale of AWS, this still means that thousands of developers and other customers likely still rely on these cloud tools. "We will continue to support our customers, whether they continue to use these services, or they migrate to other AWS offerings or alternative third-party solutions." Consider Amazon Q, Amazon Connect, Amazon Bedrock, AWS Marketplace, Amazon WorkSpaces, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon QuickSight, and many other offerings that have had significant success with customers," he wrote in an email.

Sometimes, what separates successful people from everyone else isn't what they say — it's what they don't say. Other sayings, like "keep me in the loop" or "just checking in," can unintentionally come across as passive-aggressive, Slack executive Jaime DeLanghe told CNBC Make It in 2022. In particular, the best employees typically steer clear from these three phrases and sayings, according to CEOs, psychologists and linguistics experts:'It is what it is'There's one phrase bosses and colleagues don't want to hear when they're facing a problem at work: "It is what it is." Using it, however, can appear highly passive to other people and tarnish their trust in you, McWhorter said. That means there's one sentence that can frustrate such CEOs: This is how we've always done it.

For only the second time in nearly two decades, Japan’s central bank on Wednesday raised interest rates, a move that could help bolster the country’s ailing currency and ease the burden of consumers paying more for imported essentials like food and energy. The Japanese central bank increased its target policy rate to 0.25 percent, up from a range of zero to 0.1 percent. The rate was last bumped up in March, when the bank raised interest rates for the first time since 2007. The large gap between interest rates in Japan and the United States has caused the yen to fall in value against the dollar over the past two years, but it regained some strength recently as traders anticipated an imminent rate increase from the Bank of Japan. The Bank of Japan’s decision was being closely watched by investors and economists inside and outside of Japan.

If your day has ever been clouded by a coworker being annoying over email or Slack, you're not alone. In fact, 44% of employees participating in a recent Kickresume survey said that written communication, which includes messages or emails, is a common site of workplace annoyance. These small annoyances are related to the concept of incivility, which Bowling describes as "low-level aggression" that manifests as rudeness. I think if you think about what is most kind or considerate and respectful to your colleagues, then that's what you should do." Here are two ways to deal with annoying emails and messages, according to Bowling and Meier.

In an interview with CNBC's Jim Cramer, the CEOs of Salesforce and Workday , Marc Benioff and Carl Eschenbach, discussed the their companies' new partnership. Both CEOs said the strength of this new venture stems from the confluence of their large data sets. "AI is all about data, and if you have access to the data, then you can have phenomenal AI," Benioff said. Eschenbach said that Salesforce and Workday have the three most important data sets in the enterprise — employee data, customer data and financial data. He also said the new program benefits customers because they don't have to move between platforms to access services.

The investment chief and the chief market strategist signaled in April that US equities had an attractive risk-reward setup after a 5.5% selloff. "All those factors combined suggest maybe a choppier market, even though we still think the long-term bull market is intact," Lerner said. "In the fall, I think investors will eventually come back to tech because I still think that's the main secular theme of this bull market," Lerner said. "But I don't know that this is a game changer for this bull market where small caps will be leadership."

The new issue for the global supply chain comes amid a rise in global demand, with shipments up 13% year-over-year in June. Air freight supply has increased, but only by 3% year-on-year, already causing higher costs for shippers due to the limited capacity, according to Xeneta. Thousands of flights were grounded or delayed at the world's largest air freight hubs in Europe, Asia and North America. "This is a reminder of how vulnerable our ocean and air supply chains are to IT failure." Ports, freight rails, report some issues, but normal operationsMost rails and ports were faring better after some early morning disruptions.

Read previewA draft budget approved by Germany's government shows the country is planning to halve its military aid to Ukraine next year. The draft budget slashes the amount promised to Ukraine to $4.35 billion in 2025, compared to the roughly $8.14 billion it is receiving this year, Reuters reported. There are fears that Trump will scale back or even totally halt US aid to Ukraine. Germany is the second-biggest donor country by volume of military aid to Ukraine and is Europe's biggest economy. As such, the draft budget is a "moral hazard" for the country, Loss said.

If you're having trouble trusting your boss right now, you're not alone. Gone are the days of seeing managers in their homes on virtual meetings, bonding over shared pandemic experiences and chatting about families and lifestyles, he says. They had all that exposure to senior leadership and then that got scaled back," Granger tells CNBC Make It. Add on the waves of layoffs that occurred after the pandemic — some of which took place abruptly over email or Slack — and employees feel more stressed and less trusting than ever, says Granger. The result: Bosses may find it difficult to effectively lead their organizations, and workers could quiet quit — or actually go.

New York CNN —An activist hacking group claimed it leaked thousands of Disney’s internal messaging channels, which included information about unreleased projects, raw images computer codes and some logins. Nullbulge, the “hacktivist group,” claimed responsibility for the breach and said they leaked a gigantic, roughly 1.2 terabytes of information from Disney’s Slack, a communications software. In an email on Monday to CNN, the group claimed it gained access through “a man with Slack access who had cookies.” The email also claimed the group was based out of Russia. The hackers said they leaked the data because making demands of Disney would be futile. “If we said ‘Hello Disney, we have all your slack data’ they would instantly lock down and try to take us out.

New York CNN —Google owner Alphabet is in advanced discussions to buy fast-growing cybersecurity startup Wiz for roughly $23 billion, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CNN. A takeover of Wiz, which makes cybersecurity software for cloud computing, would represent a major bet by Google on cybersecurity, marking the tech giant’s biggest-ever acquisition. Discussions between Google and Wiz began after the startup raised $1 billion from venture capital investors earlier this year, the source said. Google Cloud is central to the company’s efforts to diversity revenue beyond its core search advertising business. Notable customers include BMW, Slack and Salesforce, and it works with major cloud companies including Amazon, Microsoft and Google.
