       Hi there, I'm writing a piece about a worker who shared a post on Reddit questioning "What is a polite and professional way to explain to my employer that since they've decided to cut our salary by 60%, that I'll only be completing 40% of all assigned tasks from now on?" Read the full context of the story here at https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/10oaben/what_is_a_polite_and_professional_way_to_explain/ OR pasted below:

      READER POST BEGINS


      My employers have decided that since we're transitioning into a new
      company, they deserve raises since they'll be doing twice the amount of
      work. I work for a pretty small non-profit, having said that ALL OF US
      have had to do twice the amount of work we signed on for. I'm only
      contracted to work 40 hours of work a week, but recently I've had to work
      60 hours a week and have even been called in for work ON MY DAYS OFF. But
      in spite of all of that, my employer has announced that the rest of us
      will be losing vision and dental benefits and be required to pay for
      health insurance out of pocket. Oh, and because we need to save money for
      the new company, thw rest of us will be getting pay cuts.

      It would be great if a career expert or life coach can share comment on
      whether the employee is approaching the situation in the best way. Could
      they be risking getting fired? Would this sort of tactic be effective in
      getting the employer to respond in a way that benefits the worker?  Be
      great to get any brief comments (200 or so words at max)  |  Career Expert

        Hi Sydney, In response to your recent query regarding co-parenting apps,
        I'd like to offer the insights below from New York family law attorney
        Atty Bruggemann, Esq., partner at Dimopoulos Bruggemann P.C.
        (www.dimolaw.com). Atty specializes in child custody, support and
        co-parenting matters and would be happy to offer her perspective. Please
        see below for her thoughts: The benefits of co-parenting apps:
        Co-parenting apps have been on the rise given the increase in
        co-parenting or shared custody arrangements awarded by the courts even
        when the parents involved fail to communicate effectively. While the
        failure of parents to get along and communicate has historically been
        seen as a barrier to a shared custody arrangement for a multitude of
        reasons, courts are now willing to take a chance on these arrangements.
        With the advancement of technology there is now the ability to control
        communications and the abuse that can come along with having full access
        through social media, text messaging, emails, and apps. These apps
        consolidate all the mediums of communication into one and allow parents
        to trust the communications, calendars, and financial aspects of their
        relationship. The apps accomplish several things to help parents in
        difficult co-parenting situations: - Tracking communications in one
        place. Often keeping texts, emails, and other communications become
        difficult when all mediums are permitted to be used. All communications,
        receipts, scheduling happens in one place in these apps and helps to
        consolidate communications. - Accountability. During the custody
        litigation everyone is on their best behavior. Many issues arise post
        judgment because people begin to take matters into their own hands.
        These apps save all communications and the communications cannot be
        edited. These apps create that sense of eyes on the behavior of the
        parents. Further, all communications can be downloaded and saved to
        provide as evidence should the parents needs to go back to court on any
        issues. - Cuts down on harassing communications by not giving each
        parent full and unfettered access to one another. Often there is a
        prohibition from contacting one another outside the app unless a third
        party is copied, such as a doctor or a teacher. Conversely, also stops
        phone call and text blocking or claims that one parent did not receive a
        communication. - Calendaring: There can be no confusion on when the
        children are with each parent and when the vacation schedules are if the
        parents put the regular and vacation/holiday schedules in the app
        calendar function. - Expense tracking: Many of the apps have the
        capability to track expenses for the parents and record payments. This
        helps to cut down on back-and-forth communications about who owes what
        and when the goal of the apps is to organize and streamline interactions
        between parties who have proven they cannot communicate effectively.
        While these apps cannot solve all issues between parents, they can help
        to keep parents focused on the most important issue, the wellbeing of
        their children. Here's some background on Atty: Atty Bruggemann, Esq.
        has handled some of the most intricate divorce cases on record. With
        over fourteen years of experience, she has established herself as a
        trusted authority, providing strategic counsel and innovative solutions

        Hi Lindsay, Here's a real estate investment story that your readers may
        find interesting. I'm a pharmacist by profession, so when I started
        investing in real estate I didn't know what to look for in a property –
        or what to avoid. The first investment property I ever bought was a
        100-year-old house. It was cheap, and I thought I had snagged a great
        deal. But I soon realized I had gotten myself into a project that needed
        a lot more than I had originally bargained for. Between the broken pipes
        and the rat and flea infestations, my new property needed $40,000 in
        repairs and improvements. But here are a few things I learned from that
        first investment: 1. Always vet a property before buying it. If you
        uncover problems that aren't deal breakers, you'll be in a much better
        position to negotiate the sale price if you know what's wrong and how
        much repairs would cost. 2. Invest in properties that are big enough to
        allow you to maximize the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. That way,
        you can rent out individual rooms to college students and end up earning
        a lot more for the same property (versus renting the entire house to one
        person) 3. Expensive mistakes can help you if you take the time to learn
        from them. That's what I did, and it's helped me invest in properties
        that offer a high ROI. Despite that early investment mistake, I chose to
        keep going. And now, I can choose to retire thanks to my investment
        portfolio – even though I'm still in my early thirties. Please let me
        know if you'd like to hear more. Website:

        It is difficult to comment on the situation without knowing the specific
        details of the manager in question. However, in general, it is not
        recommended to approach a request for a raise or better benefits in a
        confrontational or ultimatum-style manner, as this can create tension
        and negatively affect the employee's relationship with their employer.
        It can also risk the employee being seen as difficult or unreasonable,
        which could result in negative consequences such as not receiving the
        desired raise or even being fired. A better approach would be to
        schedule a meeting with the employer and have an open and honest
        conversation about the employee's contribution to the company, their
        career goals, and their reasons for requesting a raise or better
        benefits. The employee can present data, such as market research or
        their performance metrics, to support their request and show their value
        to the company. It's important to remember that the outcome of these
        discussions is not always guaranteed, and the employer may not be able
        to meet the employee's request. However, approaching the situation in a
        professional and solution-focused manner can increase the chances of
        reaching a mutually beneficial agreement and maintaining a positive
        relationship with the employer.

        Hi Rachel! I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out to
        because I believe we've got a unique device that would be an exact match
        for your upcoming coverage. Our company, Kineon Labs, has engineered a
        safe, non-invasive, red light therapy device called the Move+ which was
        built from the ground up to relieve joint pain and support recovery. The
        Move + was launched on Indiegogo and received 100% funding in just 24
        hrs. If you or someone you know has suffered a joint injury or chronic
        pain, you know the most common way to treat that pain is to apply ice or
        take over the counter medication. Recent studies have shown icing to be
        more detrimental to your recovery and traditional medications like
        NSAID’s aren’t a healthy long-term strategy. The Move+ was developed by
        a team of physiotherapists, scientists, medical professionals and
        product geeks, the sleek, portable device uses the latest scientific
        research and combines powerful lasers and LEDs to deliver deeper
        penetration and optimal results. The Move+ helps those suffering from
        chronic joint pain to live a happier and healthier life– because
        everyone should be able to move comfortably and pain-free. If you’d like
        to learn more about the product, please check out:
        https://kineon.io/products/knee If interested, I’d be happy to
        coordinate an interview with the founders of Kineon Labs, and/or provide
        a sample for you to try out. Thank you. I look forward to hearing back
        from you. Kind regards, Analyn Maer

       Looking for regtech/ fintech regulation industry members to take part in a webinar on Entity Centric AML.

      The webinar is about the need to take a broader look at activity and
      behaviour when assessing suspicion. The way to do this is to focus on the
      subject entity and not on the individual events/ transactions which have
      occurred. We call this Entity Centric AML, by taking a more contextual
      view, taking into account all information on the entity, from both
      internal and external data sources, suspicious activity for each entity
      can be more clearly defined and therefore monitored for and detected on.
       
      Discussion points:

      Do we need to take a different approach?

      What is an Entity Centric approach

      What are the benefits of this approach

      How do we achieve this approach?

        Hi there! Longtime insurance product manager now insurance agent here.
        Lots of thoughts on gap insurance! Kate Terry, CEO, Surround Insurance
        Cars have gotten a lot more expensive over the past few years, and as a
        result, people are taking out longer auto loans so they can afford the
        monthly payment on a new car. However, this comes with a risk - new cars
        depreciate rapidly. By the end of the first year of ownership, a car may
        be worth 20% less than what you paid for it. Unfortunately, if you have
        long car loan, say 72 or 84 months, the balance on your loan may be more
        than your car is worth. If you total it in a car crash, you still owe
        the loan, even though you no longer have a driveable car, and you
        probably need to buy a new car as well. This situation is what gap
        insurance prevents. Gap insurance, which you can get through your auto
        insurance company or sometimes from the dealer, pays out the difference
        between your loan balance and the actual cash value of your car, minus
        the deductible on your insurance policy. That lets you pay off your auto
        loan and just focus on finding a new car. Gap insurance will usually
        cost you under $100/year if you add it to your car insurance. You'll
        probably have to maintain full coverage on your car as well, which is
        comprehensive and collision coverage in addition to liability. Most
        lenders require full coverage anyway, though, so this isn't really an
        additional requirement. And you should pay attention to any limitations
        on payouts. Sometimes, there are limits to how large a gap will be
        covered, so you'll want to take that into account.

        Hey Amy Walters, Thank you for reaching out. Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a
        Surgical Oncologist (DNB, MRCS UK, Fellowship in Laparoscopic and
        Robotic Surgical Oncology), provides his professional insight into the
        claim of curing cancer through dietary changes: "A claim like this needs
        to be examined carefully. While diet and nutrition play a crucial role
        in overall health and can support recovery during and after cancer
        treatment, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that dietary
        changes alone can cure cancer. The case mentioned, where surgery was
        performed and a plant-based diet followed, likely reflects the combined
        effect of medical intervention and lifestyle improvements. Surgery is
        often a curative treatment for localized cancers, but attributing the
        cure solely to dietary changes is misleading. What diet does offer is an
        enhancement to the body’s ability to heal and recover. For example, a
        diet rich in vegetables, legumes, and whole foods provides antioxidants
        and anti-inflammatory properties that can support the immune system and
        potentially reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. However, this should
        complement, not replace, proven cancer therapies like surgery,
        chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. It’s important for patients to
        understand that cancer is multifactorial, involving genetic,
        environmental, and lifestyle factors. While maintaining a healthy diet
        is essential for reducing risks and supporting recovery, it is not a
        standalone cure. Bold claims like this can deter patients from seeking
        evidence-based treatments, which could have life-saving outcomes." Dr.
        Nayak emphasizes that diet, while a powerful tool in promoting health,
        is one part of a larger treatment plan. "The best approach combines
        advanced medical treatments with lifestyle modifications for long-term
        well-being and prevention. Patients should always consult their
        oncologist or healthcare provider before making decisions about cancer
        care based on anecdotal reports." If you’d like additional commentary or
        specific examples, please feel free to reach out. Here are Dr. Nayak’s
        details for attribution: Dr. Sandeep Nayak DNB (General Surgery), DNB

    'Hey Amy Walters, Thank you for reaching out. Dr. Sandeep Nayak, a Surgical Oncologist (DNB, MRCS UK, Fellowship in Laparoscopic and Robotic Surgical Oncology), provides his professional insight into the claim of curing cancer through dietary changes: "A claim like this needs to be examined carefully. While diet and nutrition play a crucial role in overall health and can support recovery during and after cancer treatment, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that dietary changes alone can cure cancer. The case mentioned, where surgery was performed and a plant-based diet followed, likely reflects the combined effect of medical intervention and lifestyle improvements. Surgery is often a curative treatment for localized cancers, but attributing the cure solely to dietary changes is misleading. What diet does offer is an enhancement to the body’s ability to heal and recover. For example, a diet rich in vegetables, legumes, and whole foods provides antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can support the immune system and potentially reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. However, this should complement, not replace, proven cancer therapies like surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. It’s important for patients to understand that cancer is multifactorial, involving genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While maintaining a healthy diet is essential for reducing risks and supporting recovery, it is not a standalone cure. Bold claims like this can deter patients from seeking evidence-based treatments, which could have life-saving outcomes." Dr. Nayak emphasizes that diet, while a powerful tool in promoting health, is one part of a larger treatment plan. "The best approach combines advanced medical treatments with lifestyle modifications for long-term well-being and prevention. Patients should always consult their oncologist or healthcare provider before making decisions about cancer care based on anecdotal reports." If you’d like additional commentary or specific examples, please feel free to reach out.

    What can be done to improve diversity for financial advisors? What are tangible ways that the financial advisory industry can increase diversity? What can be done to improve diversity for financial advisors? What are tangible ways that the financial advisory industry can increase diversity?

    Even as an eternal optimist, I'll start with the business case: diverse teams are more likely to outperform on the bottom line. McKinsey can give you the stats. With that out of the way, let's talk about action. "Diversity & Inclusion" is often taken to mean hiring statistics, but increasing diversity in the financial advisory industry requires work to build a talent pipeline for advisors and to build better services from advisors. A history of exclusionary practices has resulted in our status quo; today, financial advisors are often assumed to be well-off themselves and to serve a well-off clientele. Changing this history is going to take time, and improving diversity for financial advisors and for the industry won't happen overnight.

    The industry should start by investing time to build a diverse customer base and to meet their needs. On ...

    Hi Yolande,

    I'd like to introduce you to Ann Lilly as a potential source for you. Ann is the Brand Lead for House Doctors, a leading home improvement and handyman service, and just last year, she helped launch the Aging in Place program. This program prioritizes fall prevention for the aging population, helping so seniors can live independently and safely in their homes with a solution that addresses their unique needs.

    One in Four senior citizens in the U.S. suffer a fall each year. With nearly 90% of seniors expressing a desire to remain in their own homes as they age, Ann is helping to ensure that seniors can continue living in their homes with the comfort and safety they deserve.

    KEY STATS:
    • 1 in 4 seniors in the U.S. falls each year
    • Falls result in 3 million emergency department visits annually.
    • 76% of remodelers have seen a significant or moderate increase in requests for aging-in-place features in the last five years.
    • The most common aging-i...

    I’m working on a TravelSavvy feature on the Best Spring Break Destinations for Families With Young Kids—places where parents can relax, kids can play, and everyone gets the most out of their vacation. Whether it's a beach escape with calm waters (for newbie swimmers), a resort packed with kid-friendly activities, or an off-the-beaten-path gem perfect that's safe for family adventures, I want to hear about it! If you rep a destination (hotel, resort, tourism board) that offers an unforgettable spring break experience for families, send me your pitch! Please include links to book, off-peak and peak price ranges, and details on what makes it kid-friendly! I'll respond to those I plan to include. Best Spring Break Destinations for Families With Young Kids Hi Ysolt, Hope you're doing well! For your story on the best Spring Break Destinations for Families with Young Kids, I wanted to put forward Cornwall, England for potential consideration. Destination: Cornwall, England Why: Cornwall is the ultimate British beach holiday location in the Spring as the weather gets noticeably warmer here much earlier than in other parts of Britain. The golden sand and turquoise water rivals that of the Caribbean. The quaint fishing villages and stunning beaches make for the perfect family break. During the summer months there will be ice cream on almost every corner, restaurants with delicious locally sourced fish dishes and coves to explore at low tide. It is beautiful corner of England that also offers fantastic car free biking trails (The Camel Trail) ideal for all ages and abilities. Coastal walks providing dramatic cliff tops, film locations from Poldark and more miles of sandy beaches for sandcastles or sunbathing! Quote from Gaby Cecil, Commercial ...
