technical skills don't cut it.

Losing your job doesn't mean you suck.

In today's evolving workplace, leaders have a powerful opportunity to attract and inspire the next generation of talent by embracing a strategy that's both timeless and essential: mentorship. Once relegated to the realm of "nice-to-have" Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, mentorship has emerged as a core business strategy and a lever for growth, employee retention, and technological innovation. When done right, it doesn't just change lives, it drives organizational ROI.

My first boss told me, "Don't make the client's problem your problem." I think about that a lot. Come early to work. Gives you time to settle in for the day. Every morning, skim your calendar for the week. Once a week, check your calendar for the month. Double-check all your events and deadlines are properly calendared. The cases are yours, not your legal assistant's.

What if, instead of "work-life balance," you had no balance at all-your life was your work... and work happened seven days a week? Did I say days? I actually meant days and nights, because the job I'm talking about wants you to know that you will also work weekends and evenings, and that "it's ok to send messages at 3am."

Fifth-generation fighter jets are the most advanced in the skies, boasting low observability, or stealth, as well as advanced sensors and avionics. Some also feature advanced networking. The American F-22 Raptor entered service in the early 2000s. The newest US fifth-gen fighter is the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter, another Lockheed Martin aircraft that is operated by both the US and its allies and partners. Russia is developing the Su-57, and China has the J-20 and J-35, the latter supporting new carrier advancements.

Ukraine's internal security agency has unveiled new variants of its "Sea Baby" naval drone, giving the boats an extended range and arming them with automated machine guns and rocket launchers. The modifications highlight Ukraine's continued efforts and investment in the development of its naval drone programs, which are among the country's most important innovations of the war.

I immigrated to Canada from South Korea when I was in fourth grade, and then to the US in high school, and my parents didn't have firsthand experience with how the corporate world works here. My friends meant well, too, but we were all fresh out of college and figuring things out. None of us really knew how the industry worked yet, and we repeated what sounded "safe."

It goes without saying: Getting fired sucks. The moments before are excruciating, especially if you get invited to a last-minute meeting with HR and know exactly what's coming. The aftermath is even worse: losing a steady paycheck and health insurance, diving into a daunting job market, and taking a massive hit to your self-esteem. It's a true walk-in-the-rain-and-feel-sorry-for-yourself moment. Being laid off is hardly any easier.

Workplace experts can't decide what's the optimal number of working hours for Gen Z workers-but they know it's not "every waking minute" of the day like Cerebras' CEO suggested, or the 60 hour "sweet spot" Google's Sergey Brin recommended earlier this year. That schedule is unsustainable, but 40-hour workweeks aren't enough for the young and hungry. The CEO of $8.1 billion AI chips company Cerebras recently hit back at the idea entrepreneurs can launch an innovative business working "30, 40, 50 hours a week."

Thanks for being so thoughtful about work crushes. They're so common but so complicated! In general, the most important consideration is whether there's a power imbalance. In your case, you describe the potential relationship as employee-employee, but from the university's perspective, your crush's status as a student is more important than his role as an employee. As a staffer with a potentially permanent position, you have more institutional power, and the student-employee has more institutional protection.

Initially, we had taken the tactic like 'hey, we just got to get this business turned around and then we'll start talking about what's going on,' and the reality is we needed to get into conversation from day one so people understood, transparently, what we are trying to do with Starbucks,

Employers are rebalancing entry-level recruitment to meet skills demands, reducing graduate vacancies while increasing investment in apprenticeship roles, reports Institute of Student Employers (ISE). The Student Recruitment Survey 2025 of ISE members - large employers offering formal graduate and apprenticeship programmes - found that graduate hiring had fallen by 8% year-on-year, yet apprentice hiring increased by 8%. Graduates still outnumber apprentices and therefore the overall entry-level job market is down 5%.

Many of us are seeking ways to work from home these days. But if you're not that computer savvy, the typical work-from-home jobs, like customer support or virtual assisting, don't appeal much. The great news is that working from home doesn't necessarily have to be in front of a screen. If you're looking to tap into a new source of income that doesn't involve the stress of navigating new computer programs, here are a few ideas to consider.

"I don't love the word 'balance' because it implies a tradeoff," Bezos said recently at Italian Tech Week. "I've often had people ask me, 'How do you deal with work-life balance?' And I'll say 'I like work-life harmony because if you're happy at home, you'll be better at work. If you're better at work, you'll be better at home.' These things go together. It's not a strict tradeoff."

Located in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole, the town has regular modern amenities like schools, restaurants, and stores. However, it's unlike anywhere else on Earth. For starters, it's dark four months a year and perpetually light for another four months. Secondly, it's suggested residents carry a rifle when traveling outside the town borders - in case they run into a polar bear.

The original poster, who did not name the company, described being contacted by a recruiter for a "mostly remote" job at a SaaS company. The role required coming into an office located four hours away just two days a month, a condition the candidate said they were "completely fine with." Don't Miss: What followed was a grueling process of six interview stages and a five-hour take-home project.

Before overseeing products at the tech giant, which has a market cap of about $270 billion, he spent his early 20s waiting tables at Sizzler, a steak house chain, making just $4 an hour. Far from something to hide, he says the experience shaped his work ethic and people skills-and ultimately helped him climb Silicon Valley's corporate ladder. "I think everyone in the early part of their career should work in the service industry somewhere," Patel tells Fortune.

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity. We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers - but in a safe environment.
