- Even before the White House threatened to freeze funding, child care providers across the country were scrambling to deal with a pull back in federal funds -- wait lists in a lot of states are crazy long. Prices rising. www.axios.com/2026/01/12/t...

- Is there any example of "upskilling" being something that actually worked?
- Everyone’s doing a word of the year now. Glassdoor’s is “fatigue.” I’m so tired.
- Here's something: I'm constantly sent surveys conducted annually by companies and what puzzles me is that they ask different questions every year. They'll be like 45% of people want to quit their jobs/ are stressed/ whatever. Then we'll ask, is that unusual? What was last year's? They're like 🤷♂️

- Has anyone written a story about the whole phenomenon of the side-chat conversations that now happen regularly on any Zoom or Teams meetings? It's a fascinating little work subculture

- Women have had it. 2 out of 5 said they'd like to permanently move to another country. That's four times as high as in 2014. 21 points higher than among young men. Only 19% of men expressed a similar desire. No other wealthy country has numbers like these www.axios.com/2025/11/13/t...
