DR. LAURA GABAYAN - Gen Z

STUDY: ‘BURNT OUT’ GEN Z EMPLOYEES MISS ONE WORK DAY EACH WEEK DUE TO MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES
Gen Z is missing the equivalent of one work day every week due to their mental health, according to a new study.  The health and life insurance company Vitality found that Gen Z employees in the UK reportedly lose an average of 54 productive days per year, clocking into work every day but not operating at peak efficiency.  The cause, the company found, was mental health struggles.  Across the board, nonproductive or missed days of work have cost the UK economy more than $178 billion, Vitality reported. In the US, according to past Gallup data, dissatisfied and detached workers cost the world an estimated $8.8 trillion.  According to the Vitality analysis of 4,000 people, young workers are 224% more likely to be depressed compared to their older colleagues, and employees who earn less than $38,000 per year are more likely to feel neglected by employers.

Jeremy Rosenthal - Legal Wednesday

JEREMY ROSENTHAL takes a look at some of the legal stories making headlines in this weekly segment:
TOPIC 1- MENENDEZ BROTHERS RESENTENCING DELAYED FOR NEW DISTRICT ATTORNEY A Los Angeles judge pushed the Menendez brothers’ resentencing hearing to January to give the county’s new District Attorney time to weigh in on the case. California Superior Court, Los Angeles County Judge Michael Jesic’s Monday choice to push the mid-December hearing aligns with that of California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D). Newsom said last week that he too will defer to incoming D.A. Nathan Hochman before deciding on clemency for Erik and Lyle Menendez. Hochman has said he will revisit the case, rather than immediately adopting ousted D.A. George Gascón’s October recommendation to reduce their sentences. Prior to the election, Hochman blasted Gascón’s decision as a “political move.” TOPIC 2- SUPREME COURT REJECTS TOBACCO FIRMS' APPEAL OVER GRAPHIC WARNINGS The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to decide whether federally mandated warnings on cigarette packs that graphically illustrate the health risks of smoking violate the free speech rights of tobacco companies opposed to the labels. The justices turned away an appeal by RJ Reynolds and other tobacco companies of a lower court's ruling that found that a set of health warnings required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not violate the rights of the companies under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment. The action by the justices means the lower court's ruling stands. TOPIC 3- DISNEY SETTLES SUIT OVER WOMEN'S PAY FOR 43 MILLION DOLLARS Walt Disney (DIS.N), opens new tab has agreed to pay $43.3 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its female employees in California earned $150 million less than their male counterparts over an eight-year period, the plaintiffs' lawyers said in a statement on Monday. As part of the settlement, Disney has agreed to retain a labour economist for three years to analyse pay equity among full-time, non-union California employees below the vice president level, and address differences, the three law firms representing the plaintiffs said. The suit was originally filed by LaRonda Rasmussen in 2019, after she learned that six men with the same job title earned substantially more than her, including one man with several years less experience, who was earning $20,000 a year more than she did. Some 9,000 current and former female employees of the entertainment company eventually joined the suit. Disney attempted to stop the class action, but a judge ruled last December that it could proceed, Andrus Anderson, one of the law firms, said at the time.

Brenda Siri - Bait & Switch Jobs

MORE THAN HALF OF WORKERS SAY THEY’VE FACED A ‘BAIT-AND-SWITCH’ IN THE HIRING PROCESS: ‘THIS IS A FLAMING RED FLAG’
In a tough job market where candidates are exhausted by competition, AI systems and return-to-office battles, it’s becoming more common for people to start a new job only to realize it’s not quite the one they agreed to.  More than half, 53%, of U.S. workers said they faced “bait-and-switch” tactics while being hired for a new job, where the job responsibilities advertised during the interview process “differed significantly” once they started their role, according to a survey of 2,900 global workers from Greenhouse, the hiring platform.  And despite increasing pay transparency efforts, some 42% of U.S. job-seekers say the originally advertised salary for a job opening changed after multiple rounds of interviews, according to the report. Brenda is a hiring expert. She is the President and CEO of Corporate Connections and has over 20 years of industry experience in talent acquisition
