More on Goldman vs the SEC

More on Goldman vs the SECMore on Goldman vs the SECThe Financial Times offers a version of whats going on behind the scenes in SEC case against Goldman Sachs that contradicts somewhat the one depicted by John Carney on CNBC and discussed on this blog here. The FT version is based, like Carneys, on anonymous sources. The FT version emphasizes the efforts Goldman is making to reach a settlement on a lesser chargeomission of a materie fact, rather than fraud. The prospect of a settlement being premised on Goldman neither admitting nor denying wrongdoing is treated neutrally as a plausible outcome. The piece cites Brad Hintz of Bernstein Research, who estimates that Goldman might pay a fine of $250 million and compensate investors by buying out their exposure to the notorious Abacus deal at a cost of $370 million.-posted by brian

Photographs as Creative Writing Prompts

Photographs as Creative Writing PromptsPhotographs as Creative Writing PromptsPictures and photographs implicitly convey a narrative- and that makes them ideal writing prompts for generating new short story ideas. You can use a picture as a writing prompt in a solo exerciseor with a class or writing group. If doing the exercise in a group, you can either have everyone use the same picture, or you can have a selection ofuniqueansehens foreach writer. Consider having each student or group member bring in a picture and trade with someone else. The picture can be a personal photograph, a clipping from a magazine or just about any image that that has the potential to inspire. Whether you do the exercise alone or in a group, itwill either stir your creative juices and get you to explore new themes, or, in a group, help break up the routine and build cohesion. Easy Writing Prompt Steps Choose yourimage. Whether you choose your image or trade with another member of the group, try to ens ure that the image is new to you and doesnt have any immediate personal significance (like a photo of a family member). In a group, consider using asystem for randomly trading images, so students dont know ahead of time what their prompt will be. (For example, have everyone pass their picture to the right.)Have everyone spend 10 to 15 minutes freewriting on the photograph.Choose one aspect (or theme) of your freewriting exercise as a starting point for a short story. The story does not necessarily have to explain the picture, as long as the picture has in some way inspired the resulting work. Have everyone share the stories (either that day or the next time the class meets) along with the picture, explaining how the picture resulted in the written material.For those who wish to continue developing their story, you may want to check out articles on plot, dialogue, and character. Tips When Using Images to Inspire Your Writing Dont worry about conforming to the photograph in a lite ral sense. The point of the exercise is to get you started writing and, ideally, to write about something you would not otherwise have written about.You can also do this exercise on your own by opening a magazine and randomly selecting a photograph or asking a friend to select a photograph for you. Or, select an image from something you saw that morning.Dont write about something youve written about before just because it fits the picture. The point of the exercise is to triggeryou to write something entirely new. Dont worry about needing a lot of supplies for this exercise. All youll need is an image, pen, and paper or whatever digital device you prefer.

6 ways to boost employee morale starting today

6 ways to boost employee morale starting today6 ways to boost employee morale starting todayAn unenthused team with high turnover rates should be a huge red flag to business owners and leaders, but a surprising number of bosses arent willing to go the extra mile to make sure their staff are happy and motivated.Employers who are finding that their staff are literally dragging themselves through the door every morning and can no longer recall the sound of laughter in the geschftszimmer should take heed you need to tackle low morale before it hinders your businessEmployee morale describes the overall outlook, attitude, satisfaction, and confidence that employees feel at work. It can quickly build or break a companys success, so managers have a responsibility to enlist simple and creative approaches to strengthen it before it leads to poor cooperation, low productivity and increased staff turnover.Things like giving regular praise and letting your colleagues voice their concerns are eas y to put into place, but the impact they can have is tremendous.We worked with the office experts behindLondonOffices.comwho revealed their six best tips for sparking positive change and boosting employee morale.1. Dont forget to have funWith mountains of work to get through each day and deadlines constantly looming, it can be easy to fall in to the All Work, No Play mentality but this is only going to take its toll on your employees.Ultimately, staff go to work to get a job done, but spending over 40 hours each week doing the same tasks day in, day out can get extremely dull.So, whether its a quick round of drinks on a Friday afternoon, or a big team building day out every quarter, your staff will appreciate the break in monotony.2. Be prepared to take the bulletWhen your people are facing challenges and morale is sinking, be willing to step up to the mark and tackle particularly difficult issues yourself.Whether its dealing with a challenging client or handling an awkward confron tation, showing your team that youre willing to put your neck on the line to save them hassle will undoubtedly increase morale and team spirit.3. Give praise where praise is dueEverybody loves a bit of positive recognition every now and then, so stop overlooking staff members good work.Regular positive feedback and recognition may just be the key to unlocking exceptional performance and improving employee morale and the key genau is here regular. Leaving it to yearly review meetings just wont suffice.4. Let them speakMeet with each of your team members one-on-one to allow them chance to vent any frustrations or voice any concerns privately. Take what they say seriously and make sure to act on anything within your power.Employees that trust you and feel able to talk and be listened to will be more willing to put the work in, knowing their opinions are valued.5. Authentic careWhether its a simple birthday card or a bunch of flowers for a staff member going on maternity leave, these r elatively inexpensive demonstrations show that you genuinely listen to your employees and care about their lives and not just within the office walls.This can go a long way towards making employees feel connected to their team and the business, and create a happier staff body overall.6. Make work meaningfulWhen employee morale is taking a bit of a bashing, take the time to return to the vision on which the business was built in the first place. Ask yourself why the business exists, and how the work of employees influences this purpose.Then, communicate this back to your staff. Emphasizing the importance of their work both as individuals and teams is bound to improve morale and motivation.This article was originally published on YourCoffeeBreak.co.uk.

Working from Home Boosts Productivity and Satisfaction, Survey Indicates

Working from Home Boosts Productivity and Satisfaction, Survey Indicates Working from Home Boosts Productivity and Satisfaction, Survey Indicates Working from home may make you more satisfied and boost your productivity according to a new study by Porch. The survey included responses from 1,001 people who either work in an office, work remotely, or split their time between an office and home (“split workers”) and explored such topics as job satisfaction, work-location benefits, productivity and distractions, and downsides of remote working.Interestingly, employees who work from home are more satisfied with their jobs overall than those who work in an office by more than 8 percent. (Satisfaction between remote and split employees only differed by .7 percent.) Remote workers also reported greater satisfaction with their job opportunities and compensation than office workers and split workers. While you may think that remote workers would have the highest satisfaction in terms of work/life, it seems that split workers come out on top, reporting 78.3 percent satisfaction with work/life balance versus remote workers at 77 perce nt and office workers at 72 percent. Split workers also indicated the greatest satisfaction with their family life, while remote workers reported the lowest satisfaction. And when it comes to feeling valued by the higher ups, split workers and remote workers felt significantly more valued- 65 percent and 61.5 percent respectively- than office workers, only 51.4 percent of whom felt valued.Unsurprisingly, remote workers felt the most disconnected from their coworkers. And more than half of remote workers felt lonely during the work day. The top five aspects of office work that remote employers miss the most according to the survey are:1. Being around other people2. Office camaraderie3. Free coffee4. Office parties or social events, and5. Growth opportunitiesOf course, remote employees also noted a variety of benefits from working at home, including,1. No commute2. Flexible schedule3. Being home with kids or pets4. Less supervision, and5. Fewer interruptions.An added bonus is that rem ote workers from this survey reported greater productivity working from home, with 7 more minutes of productive time a day than office workers and 11 more minutes of productive time a day than split workers. Remote workers also reported greater efficiency, logging fewer minutes on the clock than their office- and split-worker counterparts but still achieving more productive time.When asked to compare productivity at the office versus at home, split workers gave a slighter edge to remote working, with 37.4 percent saying they are more productive at home and 33.6 percent indicating they are more productive at the office. Down the middle, 29 percent of split workers responded that they are equally productive at home and at the office.Whether it’s a productivity boost, job satisfaction, greater flexibility, or an enhanced feeling of worth, working from home- at least part time- may offer a range of benefits. And the convenience factor can’t be beat.

United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course

United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course United States Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course If you are a college student and considering military service in the Marine Corps after graduation, you can test out the process with the Marine Corps Platoon Leaders Course (PLC). Sort of a military boot camp for officer candidates and part summer camp for those thinking about joining the Marines. However, come physically prepared as your physical fitness will be tested throughout the recruitment and PLC process. This is serious training that is designed to find officers for the Marine Corps and not meeting the standard is a sure-fire way to not getting accepted into the program. What is the PLC?

Those who enroll as freshmen or sophomores attend two 6 six-week summer training programs at the Marine Corps Officer Candidate School, located at Quantico, Virginia. Students who enroll in the program as juniors attend one 10-week summer course at OCS. PLC summer class sizes are typically 250 to 300 students, broken into four to six platoons. The platoons train in a physically demanding environment where sleep deprivation, military tasks, and memorization are constantly forced on candidates to test their ability to handle stress. The course of instruction is much the same as Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. Travel costs, meals, textbooks, uniforms and lodging, during the summer training sessions are provided by the Marine Corps, and students are paid for their time. Additional financial assistance may be obtained for participation in active duty. Participants may receive tax-free financial assistance of up to $9,400 for Platoon Leaders Class participation. In addition, participants earn up to $5,200 during the training. Most colleges will grant academic credit for the summer training. PLC Candidate are eligible to receive $2600 per semester in exchange for additional active duty. This is payable for the school year only, not to exceed three years.   For those who accept tuition assistance (up to $15,600 over three consecutive years), there is a military service obligation of four years. However, there is no obligation if you do not accept tuition assistance. A member of the PLC-Aviation option or PLC-Ground option (including a Selected Marine Corps Reservist) who receives tuition assistance may be ordered to active duty as an enlisted Marine for not more than four years, if the member: Completes all PLC program requirements but refuses to accept an appointment as a commissioned officer in the Marine Corps Reserve;Fails to complete program requirements; orIs disenrolled from the PLC program for failure to maintain eligibility for appointment under 10 U.S.C. 532.

Aviation Aviation guarantees are available in PLC. Those who qualify receive up to 25 hours of flight training while still in college, in order to familiarize themselves with general flight before going to military flight school, following commission. In addition to the other requirements for PLC, applicants must achieve a passing score on the United States Navy and Marine Corps Flight Aptitude Battery. Additionally, applicants must be able to pass the  United States Navy Flight Class Physical. Law School Those interested in becoming a lawyer may be interested in the PLC law program.

7 Top Trends for Women in the Workplace in 2018

7 Top Trends for Women in the Workplace in 2018 7 Top Trends for Women in the Workplace in 2018 2017 was a pretty amazing year for women in the workplace. We have taken huge strides towards eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace , and it looks like 2018 is going to be a continuation of 2017, with things getting even better. Companies are taking entirely new approaches in how they treat their employees, particularly women, and are taking steps to make it easier for all employees to balance their personal lives and their careers. Today we are going to be looking at seven of the top trends for women in the workplace in 2018, and what women can expect in the future from a growing amount of companies. Looking at Non-Traditional Credentials These days, many employers are looking at credentials that they did not look at as recently as 10 years ago. For instance, they put less focus on certain traditional degrees, and are more open to candidates who have other credentials that show they have the skills needed to do the jobs they are applying for. So, even if you don’t have a degree in computer science, if you have taken courses in coding, or even if you have taught yourself, if you can demonstrate the right knowledge and skills, you may just get the job over someone who has four or more years of university under their belt. Employers are understanding that not all learning is done in school. Use of a Standardized Interview Process Using a standardized interview process is something that is becoming more and more the norm with many employers. This system involves asking each candidate the same questions, and then rating each of their answers on a scale. This is a great way to eliminate objectivity, and find the person who is the best candidate for the job. Of course, the interviewer can still take part in small talk during the interview to make a personal connection, but their ultimate decisions are only going to be based on the answers to the interview questions . This helps to stop interviewers from rejecting potential employees just because of their first impressions. There are many things that can cause stress in the workplace , and nearly 60 percent of adults say that one of the biggest causes of workplace stress is social divisiveness, even more so than the economic climate. This information comes from a survey from the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America™: The State of Our Nation survey. This survey shows that workplace stress is rising, and companies are discovering that when their employees are stressed out, they are not giving everything they can to their jobs. This year, you will see many employers looking at ways that they can reduce employee stress, and help their employees to be better able to deal with stress, because let’s face it, stress is always going to be a fact of life. Many people are at risk of not being hired, promoted, etc. because of bias on the part of the interviewer. This is slowly becoming a thing of the past, thanks to AI technology . “By using this technology, a person will not be turned down based on their names, and when they held other positions. AI technology can be tested to ensure that there is no bias by looking at the demographic breakdown of job applicants that are sourced and screened. So, the practice of using demographic information when screening candidates is going to end, and if any group of people is excluded by mistake, the problem can easily be corrected,” says an expert from GadgetSalvation . Acts of mismanagement on the behalf of some very well-known companies, including Wells Fargo and Equifax, have led to a lot of mistrust between employers and employees. This is something that many companies are looking to change this year, and continue changing in the future. This is a slow process, but it begins with employers showing that they care about the concerns of their employees. Employers are starting to be seen as more open, by doing things like encouraging employees to message them with any questions or concerns they have about the workplace and their jobs, and making sure that they are actually responding to those messages in a timely manner. Basically, leaders are taking steps to find ways to build bridges with their employees . There seems to be a new focus on making work more meaningful , so employees are feeling a lot better about what they do every day. Employers are taking steps to help their employees find a meaning or purpose in the work that they do, and to help them become more connected with their work. Studies have shown that the more connected a person is with their job, the happier they are going to be in their job. They will work harder, and be a lot more creative, and in turn, be more productive. They are able to see that their work actually means something to the company, and they are going to be proud of what they are accomplishing. For companies, this means that the turnover rates are going to be much lower, and productivity is going to be higher. In 2017, we saw the #MeToo movement , which brought awareness to sexual harassment in Hollywood. That movement took off, and moved into the mainstream, with women in many workplaces and industries stepping up with their own personal stories of sexual harassment in the workplace . Thanks to this movement and those brave women, more and more companies are taking strides towards eliminating sexual harassment. We will start to see some major changes in workplace policies in 2018 and beyond, and no longer will cases of sexual harassment be swept under the rug. We can expect to hear many more stories from women who have experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, which is only going to fuel the fire to end this practice once and for all.

6 tips for quitting your job on a high note

6 tips for quitting your job on a high note 6 tips for quitting your job on a high note We’ve all had that wanderlust thought: “Man, I really wish I could just quit my job.” Regardless of whether you were offered a position at another company, you’re leaving to start your own business, or you’re going on a much-needed sabbatical from everyday life, resigning can be tricky business. You might fantasize about a dramatic exit after a difficult conversation with your boss, but if you’re really about to make a move, it’s important to leave on the best note possible.Take a note from these successful entrepreneurs who took that leap of faith, while still keeping their professional reputation healthy.1. Make sure you’re ready to leaveNo matter how long you mull over the decision or how confident you are with it, leaving a steady paycheck and working environment can give you anxiety.When Regan Walsh left her job as the head of branding and culture development at a non-profit after four years, she said it was a stressful endeavor. To ease her worries as she transi tioned into a full-time executive coach, she created a plan B to make that step off the ledge into the unknown easier to navigate. “As the frustration and weariness of my job set in, I immediately began evaluating what it would look like for me to step away,” she said. “I had a safety net- savings, a supportive partner and a detailed business plan- while I transitioned to a new career. Feeling a sense of security during this ‘in-between’ period was important to me.”  Especially if you don’t have another gig to hop to, make a list of everything you need - from the number of zeros in your banking account to how you’ll handle health care - to ensure you don’t spiral before you even get started.2. Be professional with your exitThough quitting might seem like the last part of a long process, Susan Bratton, the founder and CEO of Savor Health argues it’s the most important one. She left a 20-year career on Wall Street to start Savor, which is a company dedicated to t he nutritional needs of cancer patients. But when she decided it was time to head out, she knew how essential it was to be professional. Instead of two weeks’ notice, she gave a month. “If you are leaving because you are unhappy or you don’t like the culture, be honest but also professional,” she said. “Say something to the effect of ‘While I love the X, Y, Z of this company, I have found that A, B, C are not suitable for my personality/desires/objectives etc.’ In other words, focus on how you are not a good fit rather than saying ‘I hate this place.’”She added that it’s important to not throw anyone under the bus. “I am a big believer that there is a place for everyone and sometimes when things don’t work in a job it is because of  â€˜fit’ more than anything,” she said.3. Don’t look behind youA year ago, James Aschehoug left his job as a financial consultant to start the social media platform, Uriji Jami.  While he was ready to plunge into the entre preneur life, he knew that focusing on the past or worrying about the future wouldn’t serve him professionally - or emotionally. When you’re putting in your notice, you don’t want to harp too much on what happened, he said. Focus instead on the reasons you’re moving forward.“Rather than brood over the past and the reasons that might have led you to quit, try focusing on your next step and the exciting times ahead,” he said. “There is nothing worse than being bitter as you will be remembered as a loser. Instead, impersonate this inspiring, high-potential person leaving for something better. And then be that person.”4. Do it on a FridayAfter working in investment banking for several decades, Catherine Tan decided to leave to create a  company, Notey.com, that curates recommendations for travelers. When she made her move, she put in her notice on a Friday. While the day of the week might not seem important, it sets the tone for your exit, she said.“The worst thing is showing up to work the next day and your boss is still angry,” she said. “Give them a weekend to calm down so that Monday you can proactively start working on a transition plan.”5. Tie up loose endsCo-founder and CEO of Bombas, David Heath, left his job to work-full time for his company, just a few months before it officially launched. Making the move was an important one for Heath - not just because he was passionate about his company’s mission, but also because he knew it was essential to leave on a high note, instead of a messy one. Make sure you tie up all loose ends, clean out your inbox, and leave your coworkers and employers in a secure place before leaving, he said. “Arm your team and your managers with the tools to pick up where you leave off,” he said. “Be understanding, too. While you may be leaving, your colleagues and managers still have the work to do. So make sure you help make the transition as easy as possible on your way out.”6. Be sure you want y our passion to become your jobIf your motivation to leave is centered around a thirst to become an entrepreneur, remember that when your passion becomes your job, that inspiration may change. Cate Brinch, the owner of Recycle Studio in Boston, learned this first hand. “I drew a line and realized early on that the best way for me to run this business was to be owner and operator, not instructor because I couldn’t wear all hats,” she said. “I think it is important to identify the best ways for you to work with your passion if you chose to do so.”

Like an Instagram meets meme combo, users can create pictures displaying their confessions under a “nickname.” According to a Yahoo story, here’s how it works: Log into the app and type a confession and hit “NEXT” The app automatically suggests a picture (it offers multiple suggestions) to go with your text or you can upload a photo. (If this is supposed to be anonymous, I think it’d be wise to avoid photos that people can relate you to, i.e. your face.) Change the font (if you’d like) Tag the photo with keywords and you’re done Like Instagram and Facebook, users can like your “whispers” but unlike most social apps one cannot add or gain followers or friends. Again, it’s supposed to be anonymous. I looked at the app’s website for an example, and people certainly post a range of things. One photo talks about how a man returned home from the military only for his wife to cheat on him and leave him to be a single dad. Another post is from a pastry chef who says his/her best ideas come when the person is high. It ends with saying, “My boss just promoted me for being so creative. If she only knew.” And yet another “whisper” talks about how the person hates how his/her sister takes advantage of the person’s disabled father and family. This confession is accompanied by an image of the Kardashian family; I see the app has a sense of humor. As I researched this popular app, which gets more than 3 billion page views each month, I wondered what would happen if something like this was implemented in the workplace. Could having a company Whisper app and exposing office secrets actually benefit workers and office communicaton? I think creating an employee-style confessional in the workplace could produce both positive and negative consequences. Those include: The Good Releasing emotions Work causes stress; that’s no secret. But, oftentimes, workers walk around with a lot of pent up emotions, which is unhealthy. Having an outlet to express themselves anonymously (and without consequences) could help offer a release for stressed employees who may need to get some things off their chests during the work day. Avoid confrontation When an employee has an issue with another worker or management, sometimes things can escalate and get out of control, especially if (as stated above) he or she has pent up emotions. Having a company whisper app where employees can openly express how they feel can help avoid office confrontations as workers direct their emotions to the tool instead of colleagues and/or management. Valuable feedback What if a worker felt like he or she was being treated unfairly in the workplace? Or had trouble under a manager’s leadership style but was too afraid to speak up? An “employee confessional” could help with this. As workers anonymously express their opinions and concerns about a company, this can offer valuable feedback for the business showing management the company’s strengths and weakness. It will also help with retention strategies as the business will have a better understanding of the common concerns of workers, which may be a cause of turnover. As with all things in life, there can be a good and bad side. And implementing a company Whisper app is no different. The Bad Increase conflict Although this app could help avoid office confrontations, it could also initiate them. People are being open and honest with this tool, and not everything they have to say is pretty. If someone reads a post about him or her, this could cause tension in the workplace, especially if he or she then tries to discover the “perpetrator.” It could also cause tension between employees and management if a supervisor sees that his or her name keeps popping up followed by negative comments. The person may assume that the confessions are from his or her employees and resent them. Reduce productivity Like all social media, having this app in the workplace could reduce productivity if workers spend too much time 1) making confessions and 2) reading and “liking” them. Damage work environment If there are ill feelings between employees and management and tension in the wok atmosphere, this can drastically affect employee morale. And a low morale can damage a company’s work environment, as workers will feel uncomfortable and/or hostile in the office. And no one wants to work in a toxic environment.
