Study This is how much non-compete clauses hurts employees

Study This is how much non-compete clauses hurts employeesStudy This is how much non-compete clauses hurts employeesBlinded by enthusiasm for our new jobs, too many of us do not look too closely at the language within our employment contracts. Fewer than 10% of new employees will try to negotiate their noncompete clauses, according to the U.S. Department of Treasury. But buyer beware those seemingly innocuous paragraphs can have an outsized impact on our careers.Noncompete clauses, or agreements to delay working for a competing company,can follow us long after weve left a job, limiting our options to find work in our cities and reducing our salaries for years.New research Noncompetes lead to lower wagesTraditionally, getting a new job at a competing firm or being recruited by an old coworker is one of the quickest paths toward a higher salary. But when youre under a noncompete, this path can be closed to you.Noncompete enforcement varies across states, with Florida having the among t he strictest enforcement and California having some of the lowest enforcement rates. Analyzing U.S. Census Bureau data from 30 states, new research published in the Academy of Management found that tech workers in states with stronger noncompete clauses are working at an economic disadvantage to their peers in states with less restrictive noncompetes.When you start your career in a state with strict noncompete clauses, your salary will be persistently less than your peers in less restrictive agreements for eight years, regardless of whether or not you leave the state, researchers found.Thats right, one job you took on a whim can haunt you for the rest of your employment history. Tech workers working in strict noncompete states earned about 4.4% less than their unbound peers over the first seven years.The lock-in effectResearchers called the consequences of noncompetes a lock-in effect a binding trap where employees are prevented from earning a competitive wage or working where they prefer.These noncompetes can also cause a brain drain for the states that uphold them. Workers under strict noncompete clauses were more likely to take their skills across state lines to find work, researchers found.The bottom lineThis research paints a cautionary tale for workers. Although noncompetes have been shown to protect trade secrets for employers, they can derail an employees career, reducing their bargaining power and sacrificing their right to walk away.Before you sign the dotted line of your contract, make sure to double check what exactly youre agreeing to do and for how long.

Marine Corps Physical Fitness Charts

Marine Corps Physical Fitness ChartsMarine Corps Physical Fitness ChartsIn the Marine Corps, Marines are expected to be fit and must pass two different types of fitness tests - the Physical Fitness Test and the Combat Fitness Test. Both have been upgraded for the first time in decades. As of January 2017, the United States Marine Corps updated its fitness standards adding a new exercise option (push-ups) and changing the maximum and minimum repetitions and times for scoring perfectly on the test as well as making the minimum standards harder. New age groups have also been created to reflect mora accurate changes in average age and fitness abilities. Every Marine must be physically fit, regardless of age, grade, or job (MOS). Fitness is essential to the day-to-day effectiveness and combat readiness of the Marine Corps. The habits of self-discipline required to gain and maintain a high level of physical fitness are inherent to the Marine Corps way of life and must be a part of the char acter of every Marine. Those who aspire to become Marines must first pass the Initial Strength Test (IST), and all Marines are required to pass an annual Physical Fitness Test (PFT) and Combat Fitness Test (CFT). Here is the sequence of events of the new fitness standards of the PFT Pull-up The maximum standards have changed. For the 17-20 year old male the standard to max the PFT has not changed, however from the ages of 25-35 you now have to do 23 pull-ups to max that portion of the fitness test. The goal of the pull-up event is for the Marine to execute as many accurate and complete pull-ups before dropping off the bar. This is not a timed event. The bar must be grasped with both palms facing either forward or to the rear. No kipping allowed (bringing knees up horizontal to waist).One repetition consists of raising the body with the arms until the chin is above the bar, and then lowering the body until the arms are fully extended. Push-ups - Pull-up hybrid The new chang e also allows the Marine to choose between pull-ups or push-ups. The Marine who chooses push-ups will not max the test with a 300 even if he/she can score the maximum points on the push-ups.So the push-ups are not weighted as heavily as the pull-ups. In fact to max the push-up test a 17-20 ages Marine needs to score 82 push-ups, however, instead of 100 points for maxing an event, you only get 70 points. If you choose to do push-ups the best you can do on the PFT is a 270 - maxing the crunches and run as well. One should consider what exercises are better for him/her and be strategic when taking this PFT. However, if a Marine should have a weakness in some event, all efforts should be taken to get better at that event. Abdominal Crunch There is a2-minute time limit. Marines will lie flat on their back with shoulder blades touching the deck, knees will be bent, and both feet will be flat on the deck.The arms will be folded across the chest or rib cage with no gap existing between the arms and chest/rib cage. A single repetition consists of raising the upper body from the starting ort until both forearms or elbows simultaneously touch the thighs, and then returning to the starting position with the shoulder blades touching the deck.An assistant / counter may be used to hold a Marines legs or feet. The new Marine aged 17-21 now has to score 105 crunches in 2 minutes to max the test. Three Mile Run The goal is for a Marine to complete the measured course as quickly as possible.This is a timed event.Monitors will call out the split or finishing time as appropriate, as each Marine Male passes. The run scoring has not changed. 18 minutes 3 mile timed run is the same standard.

5 shows to help you through your fall Scandal withdrawal

5 shows to help you through your fall Scandal withdrawal5 shows to help you through your fall Scandal withdrawalOK, we admit it Going into September and TGIT without a new season of Scandal to look forward to feels weird, and we might be over zu siche shedding a nostalgic tear or three for one of our Shondaland faves. So whats one to do when that OPA jones hits? Drown your sorrows in another binge watch, of course.Here are five shows (all conveniently available on Netflix) to help curb your Scandal cravings this fall1. Madame Secretary (4 Seasons and Counting)Fans of Olivia Pope and badass woman alike will love CBSs Madame Secretary.Ta Leoni leads the charge as secretary of state, saving the republic and making sure she keeps her personal life in order. The drama offers up a sneak peek into the private lives of those keeping the citizens of America safe.2. The West Wing (7 Seasons)Scandal favorite Joshua Malina plays a fairly pivotal role on The West Wing... not that were biased or anything While you wont get to the Malina bits until a rainstorm and a local congressional race in season 4, youre sure to love the many episodes of Aaron Sorkin-penned political banter and democratic idealism that come before it. This political drama from the early aughts is well loved in our office - especially by Shonda herself3. White Collar (6 Seasons)Once upon a time Matt Bomer complimented me in an elevator and I did not thank him, or even look him in the eye, because he is such a beautiful creature that he must be a faerie, and Im not trying to get turned to iron or whisked away to the Unseelie Court.But it is safe to look at him through a TV, so if you would like to do that (and if you are also finding yourself missing your weekly dose of OPA banter and government scheming), then White Collar is for you.4. Queen of the South (3 Seasons With More to Come)This. Show. Is.Wild.Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) is the ex-girlfriend of a dead member of a powerful drug cartel. Seekin g refuge in America after his murder, Teresa ends up teaming up with an unlikely conspirator to take down the drug ring after her - and becomes one of the wealthiest women in the world in the process. Similarly to our friends at OPA, Teresa quickly discovers that wealth and power wont fix all her problems, and she has to think fast and act smart to survive and stay alive in the dangerous world of drugs and money. If youre dying for a show about another power-posing, whip-smart female lead, then Queen of the South is for you.5. Quantico (3 Seasons)Priyanka Chopra is one of the most famous and successful women in the world - this whole Nick Jonas thing is literally just a blip on the phenom that is Priyanka. If you cant get your hands on one of her 30+ Bollywood and Hollywood films, club singles, or music video appearances, you can at least watch her on Quantico. For three years Chopra played Alex Parrish, a former FBI recruit who becomes the main suspect in an American terror attac k. After she is arrested for treason, her story and search for innocence unwinds through a series of twisty, turny flashbacks and present day plots that combine to create a conspiracy plot worthy of any Scandal fans time.This article was originally published on Shondaland.

This is how to recover from tragedy 4 secrets from research

This is how to recover from tragedy 4 secrets from researchThis is how to recover from tragedy 4 secrets from researchId love to start with witty jokes, but were talking tragedy here, so brace yourself. This story isnt comforting.On May 1st, 2015, while vacationing in Mexico, Sheryl Sandberg found her husband Dave dead in the hotel gym.He welches only in his 40s. He had not been ill. It welches totally unexpected. They had 2 children together.When the greatest of tragedies strikes, how do you keep going? Sheryl didnt know.She turned to her friend, Wharton professor Adam Grant, who told her about the research regarding resilience and overcoming lifes greatest struggles.There was no quick answer to verstndigung im strafverfahrening with the pain - but there were things she could do to get past it faster and come out stronger.Her journey, and the lessons from the research, are explained in the book the two have co-authoredOption B Facing Adversity, Building Resilience, and Finding Joy. And ansicht answers can help you. Whether youre dealing with loss, failure, or any of the other great challenges of life, there are things you can do to improve your situation.If you need this information now, you have my sympathy. And if you dont need this now, its a good idea to learn these lessons anyway, because we will all face pain at some point.1) Avoid the 3 things that make it worseThere are three mistakes people commonly make that slow down the process of bouncing backpersonalization, pervasiveness and permanence.FromOption BAfter spending decades studying how people deal with setbacks, psychologist Martin Seligman found that three Ps can stunt recovery (1) personalization - the belief that we are at fault (2) pervasiveness - the belief that an event will affect all areas of our life and (3) permanence - the belief that the aftershocks of the event will last forever Hundreds of studies have shown that children and adults recover more quickly when they realize that hards hips arent entirely their fault, dont affect every aspect of their lives, and wont follow them everywhere forever.The big one that we all usually deal with is permanence. It feels like your pain is going to last forever. Im here to tell you its not.FromOption BStudies of affective forecasting - our predictions of how well feel in the future - reveal that we tend to overestimate how long negative events will affect us.Youve had terrible things happen to you in the past and you got over them. This is no different, despite how fresh and raw the feelings may be.So how do you stop the 3 Ps? Write down the belief underlying the feeling (Its all my fault) and then challenge it. Tell yourself why its not true.FromOption BI also tried a cognitive behavioral therapy technique where you write down a belief thats causing you anguish and then follow it with proof that the belief is false. I started with my biggest fear My children will never have a happy childhood. Staring at that sentence on paper made my stomach turn but also made me realize that I had spoken with many people who had lost parents at a young age and went on to prove that prediction wrong.(To learn the 8 things the most resilient people do, clickhere.)Alright, so you realize its not all your fault, that it wont affect every area of your life, and that the pain wont last forever.But what can you do to make things better? Well, first you need to think about how they could beworse2) Ask how much worse could it have been?The pessimists say, Things can always get worse. Theyre right. And in times of tragedy, knowing that can be a very good thing.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy calls it decatastrophizing. Thats a fancy aber ja for realizing its not the end of the world.FromOption BShockingly, one of the things that helped me the most was focusing on worst-case scenarios during the early days of despair, my instinct was to try to find positive thoughts. Adam told me the opposite that it was a good idea to think ab out how much worse things could be. Worse? I asked him. Are you kidding me? How could this be worse? His answer cut through me Dave could have had that same cardiac arrhythmia driving your children. Wow. The thought that I could have lost all three of them had never occurred to me. I instantly felt overwhelmingly grateful that my children were alive and healthy - and that gratitude overtook some of the grief.Andgratitudeis arguably the king of happiness. Whats the research say? Cant be more clearthan thisthe more a person is inclined to gratitude, the less likely he or she is to be depressed, anxious, lonely, envious, or neurotic.It can always be worse. Be grateful it wasnt and youll feel better.(To learn the 8 things the happiest people do every day, clickhere.)So thinking about how it could be worse will make it better. But its hard to do these things when youre suffering. What do you do when you feel you cant manage it yourself?Dont.3) Get supportYeah, its obvious - but its vit al. Talk to others about what youre dealing with. If you have your pick, who are the best people to talk to? Those who have been there.FromOption BMilitary veterans, rape victims, and parents whose children have died all report that the most helpful support usually comes from those who have suffered similar losses.If youre saying to yourself, I dont have anyone I can talk to about my problems then you want to spend more time working on your relationships.Some might think that others cant solve your emotional problems - and that might very well be true. But justknowingthat others are there can make all the difference.What does University of Pennsylvania professor Martin Seligman say is the question that is most likely to predict whether youll be alive and happy at age 80?Is there someone in your life whom you would feel comfortable phoning at four in the morning to tell your troubles to?ViaFlourish A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-beingIs there someone in your lif e whom you would feel comfortable phoning at four in the morning to tell your troubles to? If your answer is yes, you will likely live longer than someone whose answer is no. For George Vaillant, the Harvard psychiatrist who discovered this fact, the master strength is the capacity to be loved.When I dealt with an all-too-recent tragedy of my own, knowing my friend Jason was there made all the difference. And he did get some late phone calls Okay, alotof late phone calls. And he always picked up.But I was even luckier than that. Because when Jason mentioned to his wife what was going on she didnt just empathize. Lisa said, As far as Im concerned, Eric is family. Tell him to come here.I stayed at their house for three days.We all fear burdening others with our problems. But if you cant, should you really call them friends?(To learn how to strengthen your friendships, clickhere.)Maybe you need someone to talk to now and you dont have anyone. Or the problem is something youre just not comfortable sharing. Im sorry to hear that.But even in those situations, you can still get some of the benefits of opening up to someone - without the someone.4) Write about itThinking about your problems is usually just ruminating - and the research shows rumination is a major cause of depression.But writing is different. It forces you to structure your thoughts. And it helps you get those feelings out in a constructive way. And that can produce powerful results.FromOption BDecades ago, health psychologist Jamie Pennebaker had two groups of college students journal for 15 minutes a day for just four days - some about nonemotional topics and others about the most traumatic experiences of their lives, which included rape, attempted suicide, and child abuse. After the first day of writing, the second group was less happy and had higher blood pressure. This made sense, since confronting trauma is painful. But when Pennebaker followed up six months later, the effects reversed and tho se who wrote about their traumas were significantly better off emotionally and physically.Talking about your problems can mean feeling judged. Youre putting yourselfon the line when youre most vulnerable.But writing lets you get many of the benefitsof talking about your problems without the risk.When I spoke toJamie Pennebaker, he explained to mein anideal world, it works very similar to talking to a friend. The killer problem is when you talk to a friend oreven a therapist, youre putting yourself on the line.For it to work that other person has to be completely accepting, and the reality is we dont tell our friends a lot of really deep and personal things because we think it might hurt the relationship. Thats the beauty of writing. You dont have to worry about other people looking down on you or feeling nervous about putting yourself out there.(To learn the best way to use writing to deal with problems, clickhere.)Okay, weve learned a lot. Lets round it up and learn the upside(yes, theres an upside) to the biggest tragedies in lifeSum upHeres how to recover from tragedyAvoid personalization, pervasiveness and permanence Its not all your fault, it wont affect every area of your life, and the pain will subside with time.Ask How much worse could it have been? Sheryl lost her husband. Adam reminded her that she could have lost her children too. It can always be worse. Its not. Be grateful.Get support Talk to someone, preferably someone who has dealt with a similar problem.Write about it Thinking about it makes it worse. Writing about it makes it better.So how can a terrible thing be a wonderful thing?In the past, researchers thought people who came out of tragedy fell into two categories those who suffered PTSD and those who recovered. They were wrong.There were actuallythreecategories. Some people experienced post-traumatic growth. After tragedy they came out evenstrongerthan they had been.FromOption Bpost-traumatic growth could take five different forms finding personal strength, gaining appreciation, forming deeper relationships, discovering more meaning in life, and seeing new possibilities.What seems to be the key to experiencing post-traumatic growth? As Adam told Sheryl you have to look for it.Did you end up coping better than you expected? Did you learn something because of it? Did you realize your friends cared more than you thought?These are all forms of growth.

Women at Audible

Women at Audible International Womens Day is an opportunity to celebrate the achievements of women around the globe. Pledge for Parity was the theme for the 2016 celebration, and some of Audibles female leadership shared their favorite books - the ones that helped them along their career paths - as well as tips on how we can foster parity in every workplace. Audible is hiring, and they want you on their team. Click here to see all of their available opportunities, and dont forget to click Follow One of the biggest challenges in almost all industries today is achieving gender parity. Gender diversity provides huge benefits in the workplace. pWhile some industries have made significant advancements in gender diversity, some industries lag further behind... and the construction industry is well-known for being in the latter category. If someone says, construction workers, youll likely picture a group of men in yellow hard hats analyzing an a rchitects plans or laying bricks on top of a scaffold. And men at work signs only help to reinforce this image.pThis stereotype is rooted in reality. When was the last time you actually spotted a woman on a construction site? Or hired a female plumber or carpenter? Your answer is most likely never. In fact, the Bureau of Labor Statisticsreports that only 3.4% of the total of 8.3 million construction employees are women.pBut the construction industry has a lot mora to offer than steel-toed boots and hard hats, and it needs women to help advance the industry in this era of rapid change. Here are 5 reasons why women joining the workforce or looking to make a pivot should consider a career in construction.h21. Fuel Innovation/h2pNot only is diversity the socially and morally right thing to do, but it is also actually an excellent business strategy. pResearch presented in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that diverse teams develop more innovative ideas. This is further supported by a stu dy conducted by Gallupon the performance of gender-diverse teams versus single-gender teams, which found that the difference in backgrounds and perspectives led to better business performance and problem-solving. h22. Capitalize on Demand/h2pThe construction industry is currently experiencing a labor shortage. The industry itself is booming and projected to be one of the fastest-growing industries, with total spending projected to exceed $1.45 trillion in 2023/a. However, most construction companies are unable to meet the rising demand. pAccording to the Associated General Contractors of America/a, more than 80% of contractors are experiencing difficulties filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce.pAnd demand isnt limited to individual contributor roles. Given the industry boom, there are a number of open stable and high-paying roles (any project managers out there?) waiting for the right candidateh23. Leadership Opportunities/h2pAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics/a, women compose only 7.7% of the total 1 million managerial positions in construction.br/pBut given the highly collaborative nature of construction work, more women in leadership roles would help drive neuschpfung and enhance productivity.Furthermore, as a woman in construction in a leadership position, youd have the unique opportunity to drive change for the industry and make it a more attractive option for other women.h24. High-Income Potential/h2pSalaries for many skilled positions in construction are on the rise, making a construction career a prime choice for women looking for a high-paying job,pThe 2018 Construction Craft Salary Surveyconducted by the National Center for Construction Education and Research revealed that salaries for many skilled craft areas are increasing. Project managers and project supervisors topped the list at $92,523 and $88,355, respectively. The next set of highest-paying jobs include those of combo welders ($71,067), instrumentation technicians ($70,080), pipe welders ($69,222), power line workers ($68,262) and industrial electricians ($67,269). Of the 32 categories of workers in the survey, 19 positions earned an average salary of $60,000 or higher.h25. Sense of accomplishment/h2p The construction industry can give employees a unique sense of achievement. Yes, the job is stressful and the work can be demanding, but nothing beats the feeling of being able to build something from the ground up. pHow many professionals in other industries can point at a school, a hospital, or a skyscraper and say I helped build that?pThe construction industry has a long way to go in combating gender bias and supporting women in the workforce, but given the current demand for workers, theres no better time to pick up a sledgehammer (figurative or literal) and smash the gender stereotypes plaguing the construction industry.
