“Embrace risk.” “It’s not rejection, it’s just redirection.” “Failure is an event, not a person.” If you’re in need of motivational work missives, LinkedIn might be your first destination. In among the job announcements, the newly published research papers and the requests for work or fresh talent, there is now a trend to post content with a more emotional bent: mood-boosting mantras, tales of rags to riches, intimate reveals of how to overcome mental health crises, and – in a development that is imbuing LinkedIn with shades of Facebook – increasing numbers of deeply personal announcements. Users are posting marriage photos, baby scans, coming-out announcements and tales of ill health. If the work/life merge is inevitable then it would appear LinkedIn is Ground Zero. “Personal LinkedIn posts have increased since the pandemic started,” says Rachael Rowland, who works in corporate HR, specifically diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). “The pandemic triggered a desire for human … [Read more...] about How LinkedIn became the new Facebook

Lea Turner, a 37-year-old single parent, is chatting with her six-year-old son, Dexter, while lovingly decorating her home, bought in March this year. They talk about his new private school, where he is thriving, having qualified for the rugby and football teams, doing well academically and making lots of new friends. It wasn’t always like this. This is the first place Lea has truly called home with her son. Having only ever lived in rentals until now, she had never felt secure. Enduring a slug infestation, a broken boiler that a bad landlord would not replace, and someone wanting their house back, Lea and her son had lived in five different houses before Dexter was five years old. Each time they were forced to move, incurring huge additional costs that hadn’t been budgeted for. Now closer to friends and family in Greater Manchester, having moved from Northampton where she lived for eight years, Lea tells Metro.co.uk: ‘Knowing we now have a beautiful home that’s much larger … [Read more...] about Single mum’s lockdown business coaching people on LinkedIn lets her ditch renting to buy her first home

Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas is the lone anti-abortion Democrat left in the U.S House of Representatives. He has survived challenges from the left over the years because of his strong ties to his border district, and his appeal among constituents who share his more moderate approach. But with the Supreme Court now poised to overturn Roe v. Wade , progressives feel they have their best chance yet to defeat him. Voters in the south Texas district will head to the polls Tuesday to choose between Cuellar and his liberal challenger, Jessica Cisneros . The contest is a runoff after neither candidate broke the 50% threshold needed to win outright in March. The race figures to test the strength of the abortion rights movement among more conservative Latino voters. Cuellar, who was the only House Democrat to vote against the Women's Health Protection Act, maintains support from party leadership, despite calls from Cisneros to pull their support. Days after the draft Roe decision … [Read more...] about One Democrat in the House doesn’t support abortion rights. He faces a progressive challenger Tuesday.
