This phenomenon is called "turnover contagion," the report said, where workers quit their jobs because of their peers. "[This] can provide the ideal breeding ground for turnover contagion as the interviewing process and learning more about potential other employers is made easier for employees." Smaller teams at higher riskAccording to Visier, smaller teams are most at risk of turnover contagion. That is due to "strong interdependencies" and personal relationships between co-workers in smaller teams, said Derler. Turnover contagion can last as long as 135 days, the report added, from the moment an employee voluntarily resigns.

There had been talk that circus surrounding the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was distracting Fernando Santos's squad. Portugal's fans behind the goal sang his name and gave him another huge ovation when he was substituted in the 88th minute. It is easy to talk about Ronaldo in terms of statistics alone, with so many milestones chalked up. Ronaldo was locked in from the start, working tirelessly to find spaces in and around the massed Ghanaian defence. Importantly for Portugal's chances of going deep in Qatar, it was not just the Ronaldo show as his team mates, especially in the second half, took more responsibility.

NO KIDDING"You're kidding," Magnussen had said over the team radio when told he was fastest as the red flags were waved. Saturday will be the third such race of the season, with Verstappen winning the two previous ones at Imola and in Austria. Seven-times world champion Hamilton suffered as a result of his team mate's spin and will start the sprint from eighth place. "I will speak to the team and understand what we can do better in those conditions," he said. "I accepted the decision to go on the inters and then I waited for the rain that never came."

But prisoner advocates say this misstep is indicative of the larger failures of a law that has given federal inmates hope they could qualify for early release. But the new computer app was viewed as a positive development in ensuring inmates' credits don't fall through the cracks. "I hope that what happened with the rollout was a 'glitch,' not a feature of the new autocalculate app. "Nearly four years after the FSA was signed into law, BOP still lacks a formal program statement" on time credits. "There's a lot of tensions inside of prisons because they're wanting to go home and they don't know what's happening."

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away a Black death row inmate's appeal over claims he did not receive a fair trial because several jurors had expressed opposition to interracial relationships. He stabbed all three to death and attempted to remove their hearts, saying later he hoped to “set them free from evil,” according to court filings. At the 2005 trial for the murder of Leyha Hughes, the all-white jury found that Thomas was guilty and sentenced him to death. One juror said that he opposed interracial relationships because it was "against God’s will," according to court filings. The state’s lawyers argue in part that all three jurors said they would follow the law as instructed and could deliver an impartial verdict.

Biden had already planned to welcome her family to the White House on Friday, when there will be a bill signing in her honor, she said.

REUTERS/Amr AlfikySept 21 (Reuters) - The cost of renting a home in the United States is surging and young workers have felt the sharpest pain, many of them taking on additional jobs or roommates to afford housing costs. Household rents in 2021 jumped 10% from pre-pandemic levels, according to Census Bureau estimates released last week. The 23-year-old spent a year in an apartment in New York City's Queens borough with a door that wouldn’t lock. Recent college graduate Caleb Seamon, 22, started delivering for Uber Eats alongside his full-time job at a think-tank to afford housing. Even so, Seamon says he only found a New York apartment because one of his roommate's parents acted as guarantors.
