[ad_1] If quiet quitting was the poster child of workplace issues over the past few years, it’s not anymore.Now, a new problem employers have to watch out for is “quiet cracking,” says Frank Giampietro, EY Americas Chief Wellbeing Officer.What is quiet cracking?Quiet cracking is when workers “show up, they do their job, but they struggle in silence while they do it,” as Giampietro put it in a recent interview with Business Insider.”What we’ve seen in the market more recently is that a lot of folks are actually staying with their current employers, but they’re not actually thriving at work,” he…

[ad_1] Elvi Caperonis spent over seven years at a Magnificent 7 company, four of which were in a management role. While she was hired at $102,000 in 2017 — and also received an initial sign-on payment of $15,000, plus a second sign-on payment of $11,000 after her first year — she sometimes kicks herself about accepting the offer she did.She wishes she’d known back then what she knows now about negotiating in Big Tech because she thinks she could’ve potentially gotten at least $50,000 more in total compensation, including pay plus more equity and perks.”The total compensation I did get…

[ad_1] Meta has been making headlines for trying to poach researchers from rival AI labs with eye-popping offers as it races to build “personal superintelligence.”The effort has supercharged Silicon Valley’s talent wars, and it’s also rankling some of the AI researchers who joined Meta before its superintelligence push, according to current and former Meta employees who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation.The grumblings are particularly acute at the generative AI team within Meta, known as GenAI. This group worked on Llama 4, an AI model that got a lukewarm reception when it was released earlier this year.”Meta has really good…

[ad_1] Depending on who you ask, suburban living is either the stuff of the American dream, a desolate, alienating existence, or something in between. But there is no doubt of the grip that the white picket fences and green lawns have on the American imagination. In his 1985 book Crabgrass Frontier, the historian Kenneth T. Jackson — perhaps the dean of American suburban studies — wrote that “suburbia has become the quintessential physical achievement of the United States; it is perhaps more representative of its culture than big cars, tall buildings, or professional football.” To many urbanists, the suburbs also…

[ad_1] Elon Musk is turning to ChatGPT to adjudicate his long-running feud with Sam Altman.Musk posted a screenshot of a query to ChatGPT 5 Pro on Tuesday, asking if he or Altman was “more trustworthy.” ChatGPT chose Musk.”There you have it,” Musk wrote.Business Insider posed the same query as Musk to ChatGPT eight times, testing it across the GPT 5 Pro, GPT 5 Thinking, and GPT 5 models. ChatGPT picked Musk once, while it was set to GPT-5 Thinking. The rest of the attempts returned Altman, including when it was toggled to GPT-5 Thinking again.Musk and OpenAI did not respond…

[ad_1] If you want to get your foot in the door at these startups, take your shoes off.In an X post on Tuesday, Ben Lang, an employee at coding tool startup Cursor, posted two pictures of shoes strewn all over the hardwood floors inside what looks more like the entrance of someone’s apartment during a house party rather than the offices of a company valued at $9.9 billion.”Cursor office(s) in San Francisco,” Lang wrote in the post.In another X post from Sunday, Lang said he’s only worked at startups with a no-shoes policy and was curious if other companies had…
