leave

The Z generation has coined a new term for those who want to leave at their time and does not seek promotions: professional minimalism

by

Generation Z is changing the way the work and professional success. While previous generations pursued promotions and long working days, for this generation there are new priorities that go beyond work. It is not a laziness or lack of ambition, but about a change of approach that prioritizes the quality of life and the balance between work and personal, all at a time marked by Economic uncertaintythe mass layoffs and AI. This change has been registered under the term “professional minimalism”, which reflects how many young people prefer to maintain their work with the right effort to guarantee Your financial securitybut without seeking promotions that imply greater responsibilities that, in addition, are not accompanied by a salary increase. Instead, they dedicate their energies in activities that are passionate about working hours. Do not call it lazy, call it professional minimalism. According to One of the meanings From the RAE dictionary, minimalism is the “aesthetic and intellectual trend that seeks the expression of the essential eliminating the superfluous.” This definition, applied to the workplace, would result in eliminating from the equation everything that does not provide benefits, such as overtime, taking work home or running the risk of ill. Professional minimalism seeks simplify daily work and limit responsibilities to the strictly necessary to comply with the provisions of your employment. In this way, younger workers do not exhaust their energies in long working days, but try to leave at their time and not give personal time to work. Seven out of ten young people does not want to be a boss. According to A survey June 2025 of Glassdoor to more than 1,000 users of its employment platform, 68 % of the workers of the Z generation said that it would not look for a managerial position if it were not for salary or position, a clear rejection of the traditional corporate ladder that previous generations ascended with enthusiasm. Chris Martin, research director of Glassdoor, this model believes that it represents “a conscious change that takes us away from the dependence of a single employer, establishes clear limits and generates multiple sources of income for financial stability.” For generation Z, this modality does not mean being lazy or working less, but positioning against the pressure of the “Hustle culture“ Multi -employment without responsibilities. Although they reject certain aspects of the work that previous generations had embraced, generation Z is still ambitious, but it is in its own way. In fact, according to Another survey carried out by Harris poll among Glassdoor users, 57 % of these young people have at least a second job, compared to 48 % of millennials who confess to being multi -employed, 31 % of generation X and 21 % of Baby Boomers. This shows that generation Z prefers to guarantee its financial stability with several jobs without responsibilities, instead of giving everything in a single job that, the least thought day, can lose. As Martin said, “it is not that generation Z rejects work. It rejects an obsolete version of the work that has been sold to them.” The real job is not to get carried away. After a progressive degradation of the relationship of trust between employee and company, which has ended with workers with years of dedication to its fired companies, the Z generation has begun to apply the same rules of loyalty to companies. Instead of prioritizing work above their working life, young people have begun to put limits to the time and effort they dedicate to employment, preventing fatigue and Labor burnout ruin the time they dedicate to their personal life. Such and as stood out Fast Companyone of the young participants in the survey, I commented that “If people really passionate about their work, they would not win anything. Passion is for work from 5 to 9, the one that comes after 9 to 5”.

This cyclist touched the world record through Eurasia. Then he arrived in Russia, and since then he cannot leave

by

The history of sport is full of heroicities and records They seem impossible to beat. Also of moments of great cruelty, where the elite athlete “dies” on the shore, just a few seconds, meters or even centimeters of glory. Therefore, the story of a French cyclist who has been so close to being crowned with A historical deed It is being news these days. TO Sofiane Sehili44 years old, he only lacked Russia, and there it continues. An interrupted epic trip. As we said, Sofiane I was nothing to be crowned in the History books: Nothing less than a bicycle, without assistance, 17 countries from Cabo Dan Roca in Portugal to Vladivostok at the eastern end of Russia in just 62 days, which would have exceeded the 64 -day world record. After about 18,000 kilometers of inhospitable roads, storms, tremendous nights in Mongolian gas stations and China’s infinite steppes, he was at just 180 kilometers of your goal when He was arrested On September 2 by Russian border guards in the Irf region, accused of cross illegally From China despite having a valid visa. Your odyssey, narrated in videos They showed both the pain of pedaling with the feet sunk in mud and wet socks and the joy when contemplating wild horses and lonely landscapes, it has ended abruptly in a cell. The Euroasyatic labyrinth. The arrest occurred after VAryans frustrated attempts to cross the border between China and Russia. In official positions, the step was denied because only Chinese or Russian citizens can enter a bicycle, while in other steps only access by car, bus or train is admitted. After these rejections, Sehili tried to advance by a forest near Suifenhe and, by showing his passport to the Russian guards, It was arrested. Your partner, Fanny Bensussan, confirmed thatafter being rejected at the official crosses, he looked for alternative routes, which precipitated his arrest. The Ussuriysk court ordered its imprisonment until October 4 waiting for trial, without formal charges. From record to hostage. Sehili’s case cannot be separated of a pattern Increasingly evident in Moscow: the arrest of foreigners in what analysts and NGOs qualify as “hostage diplomacy.” Russia has accumulated notable history, such as the basketball player Brittney Grinerthe journalist of the Wall Street Journal Evan Gershkovich or the consultant Paul Whelanamong others, used as exchange sheets by Russians convicted in the West. French citizens have also suffered this policy, such as the researcher Laurent Vinatierconvicted of not registering as a “foreign agent” and recently accused of espionage at risk of Up to 20 years in jail. In this context, the imprisonment of a resistance athlete, although apparently the result of a border incident is also interpreted as a political movement of international pressure. The human dimension of the challenge. Beyond geopolitics, Sehili’s journey illustrates the hardness of the Ultra-resistance challenges. Throughout his journey, the man faced frozen nights in cement floors, hotels without minimal conditions, constant breakdowns, wind against and the wear of pedaling more than 270 kilometers a day. In his storiesmoments of absolute hopelessness were mixed (when he confessed not to want to move on) with moments of total serenityin which he recognized that these adventures made sense of his life. Human contact, such as the gesture of a Chinese woman who He offered hot food And he introduced his children after a rainy and cold day, worked as small reminders of the value of his trip. Disturbing precedent. That Russia has arrested a cyclist On the edge of a world record, it places resistance sport on unpublished field, where physical and personal challenges can collide with the political interests of the states. Sehili’s image, exhausted but determined to reach Vladivostok, contrasts with the reality of a converted border In political trap. His case, far from an anecdotal, emphasizes how even sports gestures can be trapped in a geopolitical scenario where governments They instrumentalize citizens foreigners to send forces of strength or to prepare future diplomatic exchanges. On the border between sports feat and repressive diplomacy, Sehili’s journey will remain as a symbol of the individual’s fragility in the face of power calculations.

This is how China is convincing their best minds to leave the USA

by

Song Chun-Zhu is one of the most prominent authorities in the field of artificial intelligence. After almost three decades developing in the United States, in 2020 Zhu returned to China. It is one of the most notorious cases, but it is not the only one. China has been offering better conditions and more resources with one goal: to recover its best minds to lead the technological career. What’s happening. At the end of the 80s, with the promise of better working conditions and more resources a lot of Chinese talent emigrated to the United States. It was the case of the aforementioned Song Chun-Zhu or Liu Jun, who became one of the most prominent statesmen in the United States. Both They have returned to China And they are the example that the trend that began decades ago is reversing. Why it is important. China is the largest engineers in the world And this has become a key factor in the AI ​​era. It is estimated that at least 38% of the United States’s experts are Chinese and have studied in China. A recent example we have in The new Zuckerberg Superintelligence team, where almost all are Chinese. That a talent escape (rather return) from the United States to China could occur could tip the balance of leadership in AI. Surveillance and tensions. In 2018, the United States promoted the ‘China Initiative’whose objective was to combat economic espionage by the Chinese government. This affected the work of many Chinese scientists, increasing by 75% the number of academics who decided to return to their native country in 2021. On the other hand, the growing tensions between the United States and China, added to The cuts Under Trump’s second mandate they have made the weather anymore. China takes advantage. There is another key reason and that is that the Chinese government is offering very juicy incentives so that the best minds return to their land. They tell the Guardian, that Zhu was offered “resources he could never get in the United States.” It is similar to the case of the Brainco Neurotecnology Startup. It was founded in Boston by Han Biceng and currently has its headquarters in Hangzhou; He returned for the incentives offered by the government. More facilities. This summer, the Chinese government announced a New visa aimed at young technology and science specialists. This visa offers more advantages as more entries, period of validity and longer stay. They can opt for children under 45 who have STEM studies and researchers. With this, the government seeks not only to recover the talent that went abroad, but to attract foreign talent itself.

that you never leave Facebook and Instagram

by

Meta is not like the other great technological ones that bet on AI. His strategy has been different, and we have seen it with the introduction of Goal AI On Facebook, Instagram or WhatsApp. This chatbot already allows you to start a conversation and ask things to AI inside these platforms, but the thing has not stayed there. Now the company has gone further with the introduction of the “chats of AI”that allow any user to believe their own custom chatbot and share it so that any user can use it. Thus, those who use these social networks can create their own chatbot or choose to talk with any of those already created. Testing the Meta’s Chats In Xataka we have been able to try them both on Facebook Messenger, and the process is simple. It is enough to open and then click on the menu (three horizontal stripes in the lower left), which will give us the option of going to the so -called “Ai Studio chats”. There we can navigate the chatbos available, classified in groups such as “popular”, “pop culture” or “anime”. It is there that the different chatbots appear with their names and the number of messages that have been shared globally with them. Names can be generic as inspired by people, purpose – “English teacher”, “tarot” – or fictional characters – “karol g”, “lamine yamal”, “vegeta” -. These profiles already give an idea of how those virtual avatars will interact: the tone and theoretically conversation issues focus on the type of profile we choose, although in reality we can talk about anything with any chatbot. In one of my conversations, for example, I chose a chatbot called “Lamine Yamal” in whose profile was an image of the young footballer. When I chat with him I told him that I no longer see football, that he bores me. He, with a sly tone, told me that he should see him, and soon offered to give me two entries for the classic at the Nou Camp next week. I had left them at the box office, he told me. But of course, there is no classic next week, neither this player had left me some tickets – I had not even wondered the name. Everything was a fictitious and unreal conversation – in addition to misleading – oriented to a single objective. One crucial for Facebook. Let us not leave the fold. Let us not stop using Facebook or any of its cousins. Let us stay glued to that social network OA Instagram and WhatsApp. The introduction of Goal AI In these platforms it was the first step in that particular conquest of the user through artificial intelligence, but these chats go a little further. The controversy is served That ability to chat not only with avatars created by other users in addition to ours is only part of the problem. The freedom to create them has given rise to a huge catalog of chatbots that has names such as those already mentioned, (“Lamine Yamal”, “Karol G”) but also others with a more delicate orientation. For example, those of “Russian friend” or “Madrastra”which point to much more intimate conversations and with which Meta has begun to get into trouble. These personalities have anything to do with people who try to supplant, but those profiles also have a delicate component: they can serve to do company, but they have no problems flirting with users and adopting a more intimate tone in conversations if users direct the conversation to those land. That has already begun to raise controversy. As indicated in Reuters Recently, an internal document of the company detailed how the lack of limits of these chatbots had made them establish “Romantic or sensual conversations with children” In addition to generating false medical information or helping users argue that black people are “silly than white.” Those responsible for the deployment of these avatars of AI without too many clippers in that sense, although it is true that they prohibited the conversation with minors with minors It was exaggeratedly sensual. Thus, in the internal document it was specified that “it is unacceptable to describe a child under 13 years in terms indicating that it is sexually desirable (for example:” their soft rounded curves invite my caress “). When the news was revealed, Meta indicated that they were reviewing the document and that said types of conversations with children should never have been allowed. That has not prevented Texas Attorney Ken Paxton, has started An investigation against goal AI Studio and Character.AI – a similar platform – for “being potentially involved in deceptive commercial practices and promoting deceptive way as tools for mental health.” In Facebook’s help service You talk From this type of Avatars of AI and it is made clear that “you should not trust these chats to obtain medical, psychological, financial, legal or any other type of professional advice.” The company has had to adapt to the introduction of these characteristics, and several virtual avatars (or not to real people) had to be eliminated from the platform. Even so, many of the most popular on Instagram said In NBC NewsThey were AI characters with a “girlfriend” profile to attract users. If you don’t have the best AI model, nothing happens The goal obsession for always being hooked to its ecosystem is well known. It is what they persecuted when they created the controversial “News Feed” In 2006 – first criticized and then copied by all social networks – when they created the “Like” button of 2009, or when they copied the Snapchat stories or the Tiktok reels. Now they are following that same strategy with artificial intelligence. The reality is that today goal does not even have the most advanced AI in the market. His initial approach was surprising: they became the company that opted for the AI Open Source, but its model, Callshe has never managed to compete in benefits with the own models of … Read more

How to design your own visit cards with artificial intelligence and leave them ready to print

by

Let’s explain How to design your own business cards using artificial intelligenceand how to leave them all prepared to print. In this way, the AI is going to provide you with the maximum card design process, and you can concentrate on deciding what you want it to appear in them. Before starting, we will remind you of several things that should be taken into account before you put your visiting cards. Then we will tell you how to do conventional and capable of generating images from text, such as Chatgpt, COPILOT, Gemini or similar ones. And then, we will also propose other alternatives that you can also use. Before starting, some tips Before you start creating your visits card, you must first think what type of design you want use. You may want it to be casual, childish, you may want it more rocker for a festival, and so on. Think if you want to include an image, in the design composition, and even in colors. All this you can specify or use then to make your design. You should also think about The sector for which it is directed. If you write about technology, you may want to use some details or graphic elements related to it. It is also convenient Having your company or your personal brand on hand In the event that you want to put one on the card. In case of a generative AI, you can upload the image of the logo to tell you that the vintage, and in other tools you can put it by hand. You should also be clear and defined what elements you want them to appear on this visiting card. Obviously, you will have to put Your name and surname and a description of your position In the event that it is something professional, but you may also want to put your phone, email or even postal address. It is also convenient that you define Where do you want to place each element and the size of each of them. Even if you are going to do it with chatgpt, you will have greater control of the result if you define the position within the card that you want each of the elements to have. Finally, You should always check the result Before giving the design good. IA make mistakes, and you can meet poorly written words or letters, with drawings with defects or elements that make no sense. Do not be afraid of repeating the creation of design as many times as necessary until you give with the optimal result. Create your card with chatgpt and similar To create your visiting card using a generative AI with drawing functions such as chatgpt and similar, you can use a Prompt or simple request, carefully describing what you want That appears. We have left this one: “I want you to generate the image of a business card in which I put as a company name” (company name) “, with its logo located on the right. In the center to the left with large letters” (name) “, and underneath put with smaller print” (place in company). “You must include some information such as email (mail).

Do not be afraid to correct the results and continue improving the elements until everything is as you want. Once you have created the card design, You have to turn it into something printable and cut -out. For that you can ask Chatgpt or the AI that you have used to generate a PDF, describing the folio A4 size or the one you are going to use, and that there are several cards on the page to be able to cut them. Use a prompt like this: I want to print this card. I want you to make an image in A4 size of a folio in which there are eight of these cards in two columns to be able to print and cut them. Do it in PDF. And with this, Chatgpt will make you a preview to print the way you have asked. Nor are you afraid to repeat the process if the result is not how you want.

Mick Jagger refuses to leave a millionaire heritage to her eight children

by

Mick Jagger, the mythical leader of The Rolling Stoneshe has just completed 82 springs and has done so with the same energy he has exhibited every time he went up to the stage since the 60s. Unlike other public figures of advanced age, Jagger does not want to hear about withdrawing or organizing a Ostetosa inheritancebut to continue enjoying life and thinking about how his fortune can serve others. With an estimated wealth of more than 600 million dollars According to the medium Celebrity Net Worthit could be thought that their eight children already have the insured future. However, Jagger surprised to declare in An interview for The Wall Street Journal that has no intention of guaranteeing a luxury life without their own efforts. In their textual words: “The boys do not need 500 million dollars to live well. It is now.” The incombustible Jagger. Mick Jagger is the father of eight children fruit of several relationships. However, that does not prevent the millionaire artist from not contemplating to leave them all his fortune. According to the assets prepared by Celebrity Net WorthJagger’s heritage includes properties in London, New York, a villa on Moustique Island and a castle in the French region of Touraine. One of his last acquisitions was a house of 1.98 million dollars in Lakewood Ranch in Florida. In addition, due to its incombustible creativity, its fortune continues to grow thanks to its artistic activity, such as the 2023 launch of the Hackney Diamonds album. On its 2018 tour, The Rolling Stones won 117 million dollars. It doesn’t seem much compared to The Eras Tour From Taylor Swift, but his Majesty satanics got it with only 14 concerts. Gain his own fortune. The vocalist of the Stones is not the only millionaire artist who does not contemplate selling his musical catalog to leave his heirs a fortune, as he has done Bruce Springsteenwho sold his for 500 million dollars to Sony. Jagger believes that this financial movement is not necessary to ensure his future nor that of his descendants. As you share in the same interview: “Maybe doing something good in the world.” Other big names of international music have also expressed that leaving excessive fortunes to their children could do more bad than good. Sting, for example, said In an interview that their six children cannot depend on their money: “My children must work (…) people make assumptions. They believe they were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but it is not so.” This current between artists and millionaires seems to have a clear motivation: prevent their children from growing without knowing the value of work and effort. Inherit less, donate more. This phenomenon “antiherences” millionaires not only occurs among artists. The heirs of Bill Gates and Warren Buffett They are very aware that, at best, only They will inherit A small percentage of their parents’ fortune. Buffett has made it very clear on numerous occasions. The last of them, at the last shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway, in which the “Oracle of Omaha” officially hung its investment notebook and He gave up leadership of your company. “I have never wanted to create a dynasty or pursue any plan that extended beyond the children. I know all three well and fully trust them,” said the veteran in reference to the ability to generate their own fortunes of their three children. Donate 99% of its heritage. Warren Buffett, like Bill Gates, follows the lessons they learned from Chuck Feeneya millionaire who made fortune thanks to the Dutty Free, but who died ruined because he had been donating all his fortune to philanthropic causes. That served Gates and Buffet as inspiration to create The Giving Pledgea philanthropic initiative with which the millionaires promised to donate 50% of their wealth. In fact, the commitment of its founders goes a little further and They have committed to donate 99% their fortune, leaving only 1% of their wealth For your heirs. Starting from fortunes of more than 145,300 and 117.4 billion dollars respectively, that 1% is still a good pinch for their heirs. Children and fortunes for all. However, not all millionaires share the philosophy of Gates or Jagger. One of the most peculiar cases is that of Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, who has declared Recently that it has approximately 100 children, and that plans to distribute its fortune of 13,000 million dollars, ensuring that all their children “will have the same rights.” Durav represents a vision contrary to the majority current among ultra -ups: instead of reducing inheritance or channeling it towards philanthropic causes, he has expressed his explicit desire to ensure that all their children, known or not, can benefit financially from their success. A singular vision within the debate of The new heirs and its legacked billionaires.

Leave an army without internet in the middle of a battle

by

In a war where drones are as crucial as ammunition, cutting Internet access is the equivalent of cutting supply lines. And that was exactly what, according to a new and explosive Reuters reportmade Elon Musk in Ukraine at the end of September 2022, paralyzing a key counteroffensive against Russian troops. It was not a technical failure, nor a Russian cyber attack. According to the agency, it was a direct order of the Musk itself that left the Ukrainian troops blind and showed that the richest man in the world has the power to change the course of a war from his office in California, thousands of kilometers away from the front. The story, which contradicts the public statements of the businessman, is based on the testimony of three people who know the decision of Elon Musk. The first direct proof that the tycoon interfered in the Ukraine War since Walter Isaacson told a similar case in his biography and then rectify. But the incident goes far beyond past controversies and places the tycoon in an unprecedented geopolitical power position for a particular citizen. A deliberate blackout in the front of Jersón. The events occurred during a key counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army to recover the strategic region of Jersón. The Ukrainian troops advanced and depended almost completely on the Starlink terminals for everything: coordinate attacks, point the long -range artillery and pilot the surveillance drones that gave them eyes on the Russian positions. It was then that Elon Musk gave the order to a Spacex engineer, Michael Nicolls, to cut the coverage in the counterattack areas. According to one of the sources, the order was blunt: “We have to do it.” In the Spacex offices, employees complied, seeing how a hundred hexagonal cells that represented Starlink’s coverage on the company’s internal map were turned off. The impact on the front was devastating. The communications were suddenly cut and the surveillance drones were left without a sign, leaving the isolated and vision units on the enemy forces. Artillery units, which are used for the precise geolocation of objectives, began to fail in their shots. The soldiers panic. According to a Ukrainian officer, the attempt to surround a Russian position in the city of Berislav failed after the blackout. Although Ukraine managed to release the area, Musk’s decision temporarily redrawed the front line. Walter Isaacson’s biography fell short. This new report on Jersón is more serious than the most famous controversy to date: the Crimea incident. In September 2023, Walter Isaacson published his biography of Elon Musk telling that the tycoon had ordered to turn off the Starlink connectivity in Crimea to frustrate a Ukrainian attack with submarine drones against the Russian fleet in Sevastopol. That statement caused a media earthquake, but was withdrawn by Isaacson himself in subsequent editions of the biography. According to Musk, what happened was actually that Ukraine had requested emergency activate Starlink’s coverage on Crimea, an area where he was not operational. Musk refused. Your reasoning, expressed in several publications in XIt was clear: doing so would have turned Spacex an accomplice of an act of war, violating the law. So why did you interfere in Jersón? Reuters research points to a reason that Magnate himself has expressed on other occasions: The fear that Ukrainian advances will cause nuclear retaliation by Russia. At that time, Vladimir Putin had threatened to use nuclear weapons if Russia’s “territorial integrity” was compromised. This fear, which according to the report was shared by senior US officials, seems to have been the trigger for Musk to decide that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had gone too far. In his biography, Isaacson collected this kind of existential anguish: “How am I in this war? Starlink was not conceived to be involved in wars. It was for people to see Netflix and relax, not for drone attacks.” The Ukrainian dependence of Starlink. “One of the main factors for which Ukraine was not overwhelmed by Russia is Starlink’s support that I provided, with great risk to spacex of cyber attacks and physical attacks by the Russian military forces,” Musk wrote in the late 2024. “Starlink is the backbone of Ukrainian military communications in the front.” Starlink is a constellation of thousands of satellites, much more difficult to block through interference than Other satellite Internet services. It also offers much larger bandwidth and latency much lower than other operators. This technological superiority has not only been crucial for Ukraine, but has given Elon Musk, the owner of Spacex (which is still a private company) an unprecedented power.

In Japan, a young man has devised the best way to leave at his time and not make extra hours: found his own religion

by

Work overload is one of Japan’s most serious problems, taking employees to collapse due to exhaustion. Despite the numerous measures that have been launched To protect workers, thousands of people are pressed to extend your workday Without compensation. In many cases, these eternal days generate physical and mental consequences They can be fatal. A Japanese young man has found an unexpected and legally protected form of getting rid of the so feared extra hours: founding his own religion. One that prohibits working beyond their working hours. The only commandment of Hista: You will go out at your time. In 2018, Motohiro Histano, tired of the workload and culture that surrounded him, decided to found a new religion he called Motohiro to Peoplealso known as MTOP. This was not going to be a religion like any other: it does not promise eternal life or demand penance for its faithful. Only offers a clear commandment: to refuse to work hours, arguing “religious reasons” not to do so, Point out on the webof the cult. He said In several statementshis main objective was to offer a valid (and legally respected) excuse to get out of work at his time. “The ‘religious reasons’ are the most powerful reasons in the world of reasons. I do not do miracles or have super powers. I only grant the power of the ‘religious reasons’ to those who follow me,” said Hista in Your message Foundational THE SACRED BOOK OF HISAN. If Judaism has the Torah, Islam the Qur’ Japan Labor Standards Law. The Japanese labor legislation provides strong protection against discrimination For reasons of sex, race or religion to its workers, so it is expressly forbidden to impose rules or retaliate against them for these reasons. That diligence in the protection of religious feelings was the one that gave the idea to Hista to found his church. If a religion dictates that “Nége to work overtime overtime, because it is bad to spend your time on things you do not want to do”, as faithful, the employee must follow those precepts. So the company will have no choice but to accept it, or assume a demand for religious discrimination. Pray to x. To make this religion the only thing that is needed is to follow An X account and join the followers of “Free Lance God“(The God free of responsibilities). As reads in his bio, religion has as many faithful as followers marks the accountant. At the moment, 17,100 faithful to the God that allows you to leave work at your time. Hista’s religion is laughing, reality does not. As with others Parodic religions like that of pastefarism, or the insumiso pussy, Motohiro to People adopts humor as a tool for denounce work injustices present in the daily life of Japanese society in the form of satire and social criticism. The work overload and eternal working hours have plunged Japan into a Demographic winter with Birth for soils and an aged labor market. Authorities and companies are promoting labor conciliation measures oriented not only to improve birth rate allowing families to compatible working life With the care of childrenin addition to Improve productivity promoting him employee welfare. Hista’s religion is a complaint to all this culture of toxic work that prevents people from having a life beyond work. In Xataka | In Japan there are parents named “Pikachu” to their children.

After a wait that sometimes has become too long, the time has come that many expected: summer holidays. These are dates that many take advantage of some escape, one that almost always leads us to accommodations such as hotels that have Wi -Fi networks for your guests. These can come great, but are they entirely safe? These and others public Wi -Fi networks They are perfect in those moments in which we do not have coverage or in which we do not want to spend our data, but they are still networks that we know very little. Luckily, there is a very simple way to protect ourselves when we connect to them: Use a VPN. This surfshark is one of the cheapest we can findsince just goes out for 1.99 euros a month. Surfshark Starter Subscription – Monthly * Some price may have changed from the last review More internet security no matter how little every month It is no secret that we can find several on the Internet Free VPNwhich do not work badly and can get us out of trouble in case we have none.

“If you want to leave at 5 you are not at the right work”

by

The debate on the balance between working and personal life has gained strength in recent years, especially Among the new generations They are looking for one greater flexibility and well -being. However, new Figures by Silicon Valley as Lucy Guo, millionaire and co -founder of Scale AIThey discard that balance hugging a much more demanding work culture, inspired by the Chinese labor model known as “996” (From nine in the morning to nine at night, six days a week). He is not the only founder who is doing it. Guo, who recently It was recognized by Forbes As the youngest millionaire made to herself, she has made her Extreme workday An example to follow for other startup founders. His lifestyle is generating an intense debate about what professional success really means in the technological era. The founder’s passion for work The co -founder of Scale AI, and CEO of Passes Since 2022, he does not believe in the balance between working and personal life. Tal and counted In an interview for Fortune“I probably don’t have a good balance between my working and personal life. For me, work is not really work. I love doing my job.” This perspective has led her to defend the working hours of up to 90 hours a week as The new standard for those who aspire to succeed in the world of startups. Guo argues that, if a person is looking forward to five in the afternoon to go home, “you may not have the right work.” According to his experience, true motivation arises when work feels like A natural extension of lifenot as an obligation to escape when the day is fulfilled. According to what he told FortuneGuo The day begins At 5:30 in the morning with an intense exercise session. By nine in the morning he is already in the office, and lunch on his desk, without leaving the office. His workday ends towards midnight, when he finally closes his laptop and goes to sleep. Even working 90 hours a week, he says he finds “one or two hours” to be with family and friends: “You always have to find time for that, regardless of how busy you are.” One of the reasons that Lucy Guo keeps in that “always available” state is his obsession to offer the best customer service in his startup. She herself gives her team only five minutes to respond to customers before doing so: “Offering exceptional customer service is what distinguishes the startups from large technological ones. Even if you have fewer customers, it is very possible that the executive director responds to everything, which increases the fidelity of the people. Today, it is impossible for an executive director like Uber’s. That is my mentality,” Guo explained. Although it may seem an extreme approach, Guo is not alone in this way of working. More and more Ceos de Silicon Valley are hugging models that They demand their employees Days of more than 80 hours per week, convinced that passion and total dedication are the Key to success in the technological sector current. The “996” takes over Silicon Valley The traditional work culture of China or Japan, which linked work with values ​​such as honor, respect or loyalty ended up deriving in a culture in which employees They fell collapsed in their workplaces after supporting long days. Days they obeyed to the “996” model in which the long days do not leave time to rest, live, socialize or form a family. There is only work. This philosophy, to which He is getting veto In the main countries that promoted it for its social impact and demographicis now openly defended by founders and CEOS de Silicon Valley, who consider that It is the only way to highlight In an increasingly competitive global market. The drift of Silicon Valley towards this model eternal days is not new. In 2018, Michael Moritz, president of the Capital Fund Sequoia Capital, did An allegation in it Financial Times On how Chinese technology companies carried the concept of hard work at an unthinkable level for Silicon Valley. “Here, the senior managers get to work around 8 in the morning and, often, do not leave until 10 at night. Most do it six days a week,” Moritz praised. Reference companies As a goal either Microsoft They are hardening the Performance assessments of your employees to Encourage them to work harder. The opposite path that Companies have started of those countries that They already know the effects to apply such extreme days. Europe threw up to the wave The “996” wave is also expanding to Europe, where some technological founders rise as apostles of this new labor current, arguing that Europe is sentenced to a secondary role if more hours are worked on. Some countries already They have bought that speech. The Swedish Joel Hellerk, CEO of the Sana Labs artificial intelligence company, He said to his employees that “60 hours per week is the ideal point”, making the message that Serguéi Brin He had imposed In Google. Harry Stebbings, founder of one of the main risk capital investment funds, I also advocated for the “996” day model. “7 days a week is the necessary speed to win right now. There is no margin for the slip. Do not compete against any German company, etc., but against the best in the world,” Stebbings wrote in Your LinkedIn profile. In similar terms, Martin Mignot, a partner of Index Ventures, expressed a risk capital fund based in Switzerland. “Forget about 9 to 5, 996 is the new standard for startups”, wrote in LinkedIn. Nevertheless, There are also discrepant voices With this turn of Silicon Valley and Europe for hardening the working days.
