当前是更换职业的好时机。据“华尔街日报”报道，雇主正变得不那么挑剔，为了吸引更多的求职者 - 特别是在失业率最低的城市，如达拉斯或路易斯维尔，降低了技能和学位要求。去年向候选人开放了额外的100万个“无须工作经验”的工作岗位。
It’s a good time to switch careers. Employers are becoming less picky, reports The Wall Street Journal, dropping skill and degree requirements in order to attract a larger pool of job candidates — especially in cities with the lowest levels of unemployment, such as Dallas or Louisville. An extra 1 million jobs were opened up to candidates last year with "no experience necessary.”
哥伦比亚广播公司董事会今天将举行会议，讨论针对首席执行官Leslie Moonves的性骚扰指控。董事会周五表示将组建一个特别委员会调查举报，上周在纽约客首次报道并“采取适当行动”。Moonves和CBS目前正在与控股股东Shari Redstone展开法律斗争，因为她希望重新加入维亚康姆的网络。

依据“背离联邦标准”，加利福尼亚州最高法院判定星巴克必须按支付小时工的打烊花费时间。这项裁决始于一名员工对星巴克提起的诉讼，该员工在完成任务后花了四到十分钟来收拾，但是没有得到任何补偿。商业团体已经回击这一决定，称这将造成无聊诉讼的先例，可能给公司带来资金损失。
In a “departure from a federal standard,” California’s Supreme Court ruled that companies must pay hourly workers for off-the-clock tasks. The ruling caps a lawsuit brought against Starbucks by an employee who had not been compensated for closing tasks he said took four to 10 minutes after clocking out. Business groups have hit back at the decision, saying it will open the door to frivolous lawsuits likely to cost companies money
据路透社报道，沃尔玛结束了其“最后一英里”员工派送计划，员工可以在下班后提供在线订单。一月份沃尔玛已经结束了在新泽西州和阿肯色州的试验；零售商现在只在一家拥有四名员工的乔治亚商店测试员工派送。电子商务主管马克·洛尔（Marc Lore）在2017年的年会上标志着利用沃尔玛庞大的员工来派送货物的想法 - 这可能有助于反击来自亚马逊的竞争。
Walmart ended its “last mile” employee delivery program, reports Reuters, in which employees could deliver online orders after completing regular shifts. The pilot, which took place in New Jersey and Arkansas, ended in January; the retailer is now testing staff delivery in just one Georgia store with four employees.
