In a post entitled, “ A Hard Day’s Work Deserves a Fair Day’s Pay ,” the President wrote: Right now, too many Americans are working long days for less pay than they deserve. That’s partly because we’ve failed to update overtime regulations for years—and an exemption meant for highly paid, white collar employees now leaves out workers making as little as $23,660 a year—no matter how many hours they work. So, what do we know about these new regulations?

While your company should strive to create a culture where everyone feels comfortable sharing their thoughts, ideas, and opinions, it can be scary for employees to take that leap, especially if their opinions include constructive criticism.

Fifty-three percent of Americans feel overwhelmed at work, but 86 percent are still happy and motivated. Why are those numbers not compatible? It seems that working hard can help towards happiness. Too much free time can make you bored and unmotivated. Have you ever had a job where you had too little to do? Burnout still happens, and too much work can lead to that.
