Why More Companies Are Providing Extended Sabbaticals In 2022

Image
More and more people are getting into the conversations of burnout and the “Great Resignation” as it’s being called. With increased pressure in the workplace, people are realizing how exhausting the current system is and how it pushes people to their limits. Most people spend a considerable amount of their entire lives at work, and it is simply proving to be too much. People are quitting their jobs because of burnout. In such a time, as an employer, it can be very difficult to keep your workers happy. Even increased pay cannot in some cases help. In this era of burnout, some companies are experimenting with a sabbatical or an extended period of break where the employee can take some well-earned time off. The idea of a sabbatical is nothing new and has been around for a while. But it is only now that companies are beginning to take this thing seriously.

Disruption Report #43 ? Customer Returns Up 6%, a Cardboard Box Shortage and Wages Increase 4%

Image
And Now There’s a Cardboard Box Shortage Yes, there is a shortage of one of those elements in the supply-chain that we take for granted – cardboard boxes. According to “ The History of the Cardboard Box :” The first corrugated cardboard box manufactured in the US was in 1895. By the early 1900s, wooden crates and boxes were being replaced by corrugated paper shipping cartons. Cardboard boxes were much lighter and much easier to handle. We won’t have to go back to crates or barrels (at least I hope not), but there will be a shortage through the first quarter of the year. Here is how Jenn Skerritt put it in her Bloomberg article, “ Cardboard-Box Shortage Is Latest Disruption to Global Shipping :” While e-commerce has fueled demand for packaging, pandemic-related labor shortages and shipping constraints are also making it harder to make and deliver the boxes used to carry everything from food to consumer goods. Ms. Serrittt quotes International Paper Chief Executive Officer Mar

Pharmacies show no profit so chains closing them

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Junction City , OR Veneta’s only pharmacy closed on January 5th, leaving the township of over 5,000 without a convenient way to fill their prescriptions. 91-year-old Derek Humphry has nine prescriptions he needs to fill regularly, including heart medication. He’s been a resident of Veneta for 32 years. Last year, when Bi-Mart’s pharmacy was acquired by Walgreens, 56 counters closed in three states, including the only pharmacy in Veneta. Humphry tried several others in the area and was turned away without explanation. He was within two days of running out of his blood-thinning medication when his doctor directed him to a Walmart in Eugene, significantly further away. “A person like me doesn’t drive,” Humphry said. “I have to get other people to take me to the pharmacy. So it’s quite inconvenient.” Bi-Mart spokesperson Don Leber attributes their exit from the pharmacy business to Oregon taxes on pharmaceuticals and increased fees implemented by

The Benefits of Patience

Image
The more stressed people are, the more impatient they become. When impatient people congregate, mood and morale gets worse…and bad feelings accelerate. Leaders know the value of patience. Those who exercise it regularly are rewarded by everything from diffusing people’s anxiety and bad moods to making better decisions. You may not see yourself as patient, but it’s an attribute that will take you farther as a leader. In the scope of emotional intelligence, patience is a key component to managing self-regulation, which is the ability to control disruptive moods and emotions, both externally to others and internally with yourself. People who express volatile emotions lead their people on a roller coaster. Is she going to explode at today’s staff meeting? Will he terrify his team to the point where someone just won’t deal with it anymore and walks out? It’s highly unlikely that an impatient person will change overnight. When people see the benefit, though, they will be more motivated
