Happy Sunday!
Hope everyone is having a great week-end! The weather was gorgeous on this side of the blogosphere, there’s just something about Fall in New England that leaves you breathless. Hopefully, you also are enjoying the stillness of the morning, as you’re reading about the news that made me smile, raise my eyebrows or flat-out cringe this week:
- This week, iconic designed Oscar de la Renta bowed out, passing away at 82 and leaving us a precious legacy of style, along with, according to Entrepreneur, 5 lessons entrepreneurs can learn from Oscar de la Renta;
- Business Insider lists the 50 things you must stop saying at work (some of these will make you smile…);
- Speaking go things not to say or do, CNN seriously questions (and so do I) the decision of an Atlanta judge to reprimand an immigration attorney for bring her 4-week-old infant to court, because apparently maternity leave is not an excuse. Really though?
- And while we’re at it, did you hear about this Fox headline that “young women on juries are not a good idea” because they ” just don’t get it”…Ahem;
- Speaking of flexibility at work, last Tuesday was declared National Flex Day by Workingmother.com, and Take The Lead Women argues flextime is the #2 most important benefit for women at work, after quality child care, while the Washington Post reveals most men also want flexible work;
- The Washington Post is asking the very pertinent question: “Is your boss making you sick?”.
- We’ve all heard all the brouhaha around Facebook and Apple offering to pay for women freezing their eggs,yet Forbes is provocatively looks at the true impetus behind egg freezing;
- Inc looks about the most common mistakes women make at work;
- The Boston Globe questions why women CEOs get fired more than men CEOs (and coins a new term: the Glass Cliff), while Fortune magazine reveals the best company perk to retain female talent (and it’s not pregnancy parking);
- Last but not least, this week, I wrote about the lazy way of getting organized at work, how to tell your co-workers to keep their hands to themselves, and my week-end fashion pick, among other ramblings…
Happy Sunday, and happy reading!
The Corporate Sis.
