According to research recently published by the Harvard Business Review, vacations are not the most effective way to reduce burnout. But that doesn't mean less time off is the answer. In fact, more time off is.⁠ ⁠ What the Harvard researchers found is that employees need an extended period of time off in order to recharge and return to work with a rejuvenated perspective and renewed motivation. ⁠ ⁠ The solution to burnout is a sabbatical. But the traditional sabbatical as we know it is not the sole antidote for a modern workplace. Link in bio. (Reporting by Kelly Main)

● Though it’s not unusual for drivers to carry negative equity, some dealers say more people are arriving at their lots up to $10,000 underwater, or “upside down,” on their trade-ins. They’re buying at still-sky-high prices and rolling debt from one car to another and even onto a third. Loans are commonly stretching to seven years. ● “As trade-in values begin to cool, each month more and more consumers will find themselves falling from positive to negative equity,” said Ivan Drury, director of insights at auto-market researcher Edmunds. ● Even if the US economy avoids a recession this year, consumers will likely struggle to make payments on their auto loans, especially with the Federal Reserve planning to keep raising interest rates. With car prices still elevated, demand high and inventory levels relatively low, Ford, General Motors and other automakers continue to rake in sizable profits. ● Tap the link in our bio for more.

Philanthropic contributions made by India’s ultra high networth individuals (net wealth of over Rs 1,000 crore), also known as UHNIs, have fallen sharply to Rs 4,230 crore in FY22, from Rs 11,821 crore the previous financial year, according to the India Philanthropy Report 2023 by Dasra and Bain & Co, which was released on Wednesday. The report says that the dramatic fall, almost by a third, was due to the fact that contributions by the Azim Premji Foundation dropped by Rs 9,000 crore due to a share buyback of Wipro, which helped the foundation to access liquidity directly. #philanthropy #india #superrich #rich #wealth #economy

Jose Herrera, 34, had always wanted to be an entrepreneur, but was afraid of giving up his perfectly sweet career in investment banking. When he entered Columbia Business School in 2017, he was, in fact, going for his MBA to boost his standing back at Morgan Stanley. Instead, he wound up wrangling classmates Alex Ross, 33, and Jared Karson, 31, into becoming seed investors with him in a direct-to-consumer, ecofriendly cleaning company called Cleancult. In doing so, the three friends learned of one of the startup's pain points. Cleancult's founders wanted to build a robust customer support system, but were struggling to find talent. Herrera sensed a new opportunity. His inspiration to provide call center outsourcing specifically for startups came from an unlike­ly experience--a miserable high school job that appeared ­nowhere on his résumé.
