What Cheeto could be worth more than a unicorn-shaped one? This 1.5-inch long Cheeto that looks like Harambe the gorilla. It sold for $99,900 on eBay.

In a recent all-hands meeting, Okta's CEO Todd McKinnon shared his plans for a family vacation. Then he asked everyone to email him their own vacation plans. The goal: encourage employees to take time off. "We don’t want to grind you down. It’s not in anyone’s interest.”

If only more leaders did this! In a survey from Robert Half, 44% of employees feel more burned out from work today compared to 34% last year. A survey from Indeed also shows more burnout across all generations.

How can companies help prevent employee burnout? • Enable flexible work schedules • Give more PTO, or at least encourage time off • Have leaders model taking time off, as Okta's CEO did • Adjust employee perks/benefits, e.g., more casual dress codes, telecommuting options
Would you stay in this pinecone treehouse? • 35' above ground on the uphill side, 60' on the downhill side • Almost entirely made of windows • Open-air bathroom with a composting toilet on ground level • Access via steep step ladder • Cost: $450/night

Why women are still falling off the glass cliff

Very few women make it to the levels of upper management, and too often those who do are put into near-impossible positions. On this episode of "The New Way We Work," we look at why the glass cliff...

Apparently there's a nearby city where vaccines are available because its willing residents have already gotten it. A surplus exists because others are simply not willing. Setting up a vaccination appointment requires being dishonest about being high-risk. Would you do it?

On Tuesday afternoon, after more than 30 hours without electricity, power returned. We charged everything: phones, power banks, rechargeable camping lanterns, etc. Power flickered out briefly at night, and was out again when we woke up yesterday.

Fortunately, throughout Weds, it was mostly on. We spent another night in our fort and woke to electricity this morning. So far it's been stable. Water pressure has also improved somewhat.
