By Suzie Coen Critical thinking is, well, critical. At its core, it’s a process that involves interpreting information in a logical and systematic manner. It allows individuals to engage with ideas, consider different perspectives and arrive at reasonable conclusions. It is one of the most essential skill sets you need to succeed in today's workforce to experience a thriving career.

First there was quiet quitting. Then there was quiet firing. In the last few months, loud quitting has made an appearance. Loud quitting, although not necessarily an actual resignation, happens when employees are actively and openly disengaged and dissatisfied with their jobs, often being very vocal about their issues. This may lead to more complaints, a refusal to do certain tasks, joining forces with other co-workers to demand more changes or threatening to leave unless these happen. Not only that, several loud quitters may also try explicitly to undermine company or team goals, or "name and...

Wer von einer Auszeit vom Arbeitsstress träumt, denkt vielleicht an eine erholsame Urlaubswoche oder ein langes Wochenende. Manche Menschen entscheiden sich jedoch für etwas Ambitionierteres. Diese ausgedehnten Pausen, auch Mini-Sabbaticals, Gap Years oder Gap Months genannt, reichen von der Kündigung des Arbeitsplatzes über Urlaub bis hin zur Telearbeit von einem anderen Ort aus.

Warum nehmen Arbeitnehm...

Croatian retailers are displeased with a law that prohibits shopping on most Sundays, saying it is threatening small businesses and driving layoffs in a crucial sector of the economy. The Trade Law, which was passed last year, allows retailers to choose only 16 Sundays per year when they can open their stores. While unions seem to be satisfied with it, many entrepreneurs in wholesale and retail trade are not. The five large shopping centres in Zagreb say Sunday revenue tends to be higher, and that the non-working Sundays imposed this year could hurt them to the tune of €50 million euros. Owner...

Having a side hustle earlier on was seen as a smart way of earning extra income, presumably doing something you loved and setting your own hours. Very often, it was also a way to test the waters with a new idea or passion project, with the intention of hopefully turning to it full-time, if it made enough money. However, with the cost of living having risen significantly over the last few years, side hustles have now become more of a necessity than an option, with several people relying significantly on the extra income to pay essential bills. Side hustles are also a way of insulating yourself ...
