☆ Railroad workers aren't the only Americans without paid sick leave
  + stars: | 2022-12-01 | by ( Tami Luhby | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
The US does not have a national standard on paid sick leave, a rarity among industrialized nations. “The most disempowered workers – who are low-wage workers – don’t have an opportunity to demand paid sick leave from their employers,” he said. Railroad workers’ battleWhile the vast majority of union members have paid sick days, the freight railroad workers do not. Meanwhile, a growing number of states, cities and counties have been enacting paid sick leave laws in recent years. Advocates see the railroad workers’ battle as an opportunity to renew interest in expanding the availability of paid sick leave.
☆ What derails Elon Musk's Twitter experiment might not be legislators or users, but exhausted employees rebelling against hustle culture
  + stars: | 2022-11-19 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Elon Musk recently told employees that "bankruptcy isn't out of the question." A workplace culture expert says "exhausted" employees responding to Musk's management style may ultimately derail the company. The email has reportedly spurred a "mass exodus" of Twitter employees, a former Twitter executive told CNN, with many deciding to leave the company once and for all. Musk recently told employees the "economic picture ahead is dire" and that "bankruptcy isn't out of the question." Still, even though many disgruntled Twitter employees have quit, Moss says some are likely to stick around.
☆ Toxic workplace culture is the top reason people quit their jobs. Here are 26 signs you have a bad boss fueling your unhappiness.

A top reason people quit their jobs is because of toxic workplace cultures, per MIT. Elon Musk's recent "extremely hardcore" ultimatum is an example of bad leadership. If you don't quit, there are some ways to mend your relationship like trying to find common ground. "A bad boss won't just jeopardize your career growth — they'll also negatively impact your personal life," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert, author, and leadership coach. It's important to know whether you've got a bad boss on your hands so you can "take measures to mitigate the stress and own greater power in the relationship" as soon as possible, she adds.
☆ Indeed and Glassdoor Report: Labor Shortages Will Be Around for Years

A new Indeed and Glassdoor report looks at long-term trends for the labor market. A new Indeed and Glassdoor report looked at long-term labor market trends. One key trend: Labor supply will remain tight, especially as the number of people who are considered working age continues to dwindle. Obviously, that takes a little while to spill over into the labor force, as the country still deals with its own labor squeeze. And, in Germany, the labor market situation is still a problem, but hasn't been as challenging over the last few years.
☆ Layoffs, tight deadlines, and working around the clock: Inside Elon Musk's new culture at Twitter
  + stars: | 2022-11-06 | by ( Matt Turner | Hallam Bullock | Jordan Parker Erb | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Patrick Pleul/Getty Images; Vicky Leta/InsiderLate Thursday, Elon Musk began his much-anticipated mass layoffs at Twitter. The layoffs are part of a new culture that Musk has unleashed at the company. But now, this person said, the company's new workaholic culture is "psychologically unsafe" and has "Elon's stamp all over it." How Gen Z is shaping the workplace. They're happier, they have a lot more confidence, and they feel like they're able to conquer a lot more than before."
☆ Despite the odds, the Great Resignation lives on
  + stars: | 2022-11-01 | by ( Madison Hoff | Juliana Kaplan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
According to Pollak, "the overall trend is back towards less turnover in the labor market, higher retention numbers." At the industry-level, the quit rate in construction slipped to 2.0% after two consecutive months at 2.7%. The quit rate for professional and business services, for instance, increased slightly by 0.2 percentage points to 3.2%. There were 10.7 million job openings in September according to Tuesday's release. But while a lot of job openings might seem like a good thing for the economy, it could spell danger ahead.
☆ Your coworkers aren't less productive because they're 'quiet quitting.' They're just new to the job.
  + stars: | 2022-10-26 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Some say "quiet quitting" is among the key reasons why. But "quiet quitting" likely isn't why. But while quiet quitting may be a real phenomenon and newly coined phrase, the practice is not a new one. "I don't think "quiet quitting" is real or affecting productivity growth," Adam Ozimek, chief economist at the policy organization Economic Innovation Group, wrote on Twitter last week. But while remote workers may be productive once they're up and running, it's possible new remote employees are less productive.
☆ America's 'Zoomtowns' are running out of water
  + stars: | 2022-10-24 | by ( Kelli María Korducki | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +11 min
Remote workers aren't just driving up housing prices but also adding more of a burden to already water-strapped regions. Running out of waterAmerica's water crisis, which has been bubbling for years, has become dire. The lack of fresh snow means that less water makes its way into the river and its massive reservoirs — Lake Mead and Lake Powell — upon which the region depends for water. They found that statewide COVID-19 stay-at-home orders triggered "significant increases" in residential water consumption — a trend the researchers attributed, in large part, to remote workers. While population growth does increase water usage, it's (pardon the pun) a drop in the bucket of the bigger-picture crisis.
☆ Amazon has changed how warehouses work in America. Some unions are using it as a chance to organize.

Amazon has said warehouse workers can take breaks for activities like using the bathroom, talking to coworkers and managers, and grabbing snacks. A worker on an Amazon warehouse floor can be tasked with packing hundreds of boxes an hour. A worker on an Amazon warehouse floor can be tasked with packing hundreds of boxes an hour. But the Amazon Labor Union, a new union led by current and former Amazon workers, said its Staten Island victory had energized other workers. "There's one Amazon facility that's being built right behind the Victorville facility as we speak," he said.
☆ Remote work didn't erase the risk of sexual harassment in corporate America. It made it more difficult to police, HR leaders say.

Sexual harassment might become a bigger threat to the well-being of US workers, HR pros say. Harassment hasn't gone away because of the #MeToo movement or because of the pandemic and remote work, Driver, the chief HR officer at the cybersecurity company Exabeam, said. "The #MeToo movement didn't have time to mature," Alexandra Zea, a client partner and team lead at the HR consultancy Leapgen, said. Remote work changed harassment — it didn't eliminate the riskMaggie Smith, who has more than two decades of experience in HR, said she'd noticed some employers getting complacent around harassment. Some workers aren't aware that these behaviors can constitute harassment, Driver said, so they don't report the incidents.
☆ The Great Resignation is ending, and the Great Firing may never begin. That's good news if you're worried about a recession.

Fewer job openings may sound bad, but in this moment it's a good sign for the economy. But chairs started being pulled away at a much faster pace in August, which could give job seekers a wake-up call. "If there are 100 chairs and 50 workers, workers are cool, man!" Companies are putting up record job openings, but they're not saying when — or even if — they'll fill them. That's frustrated some job seekers as they apply to multiple roles and never hear back.
☆ Why does work feel so dysfunctional right now? A psychologist, labor expert and CEO weigh in
  + stars: | 2022-09-26 | by ( Jennifer Liu | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
"I'm not sure that work is any more dysfunctional now for many workers than it's been in the past," she tells CNBC Make It. Work has always been dysfunctional, our tolerance for it just got lowerWorkers are still quitting in droves during the Great Resignation. The discord we're seeing, then, is vocal pushback from employees — emboldened by a tight market and, yes, social media fervor — not wanting to return to traditional models of work, Klotz says. "Everyone is making money off of their work, and they're not getting return on the investment of their labor. To call that out and say, you know what, I don't necessarily need to go above and beyond if that effort isn't going to be valued — that's not quiet quitting.
☆ JetBlue ground operations workers seek union vote, major labor group says
  + stars: | 2022-09-23 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A major airline union said Friday that it has enough support among JetBlue Airways' roughly 3,000 fleet service staff to seek a unionization vote, in the latest move to organize workers. The International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers said it will file an application for a union vote with the National Mediation Board. A vote could create the third major work group at the New York-based airline to unionize. "The IAM has sufficient interest among JetBlue Fleet Service workers to conduct a union representation election," the union said in a statement. Most major airline workers are already largely represented by unions, though some carriers like JetBlue are less so than some competitors.
☆ Microsoft executives say it's 'wrong' for managers to spy on remote employees' mouse clicks and keystrokes: 'That's measuring heat rather than outcome'
  + stars: | 2022-09-22 | by ( Grace Kay | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said managers are plagued by "productivity paranoia" amid remote work. NYT previously reported some companies are measuring key strokes and mouse click to spy on staff. "Leaders think their employees are not productive, whereas employees think they are being productive and in many cases even feel burnt out," Nadella said in an interview with Bloomberg TV on Thursday. The publication detailed multiple methods companies had employed to measure workers' productivity, from tracking mouse clicks and keystrokes to having staff take random photos to insure the workers were at their computers. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that workers have been turning down raises in favor of working from home.
