Are you ready to put out your shingle?

Are you ready to put out your shingle?

No shingle, and ready to mingle

I'll use this as the cartoon thread and hope CJ and maybe Heye appreciate this

I've spotted an error. It seems late to change the standings, but fair is fair

waiting for Door Dash (Mrs. Slasher) to come home with some food. This is excruciating.

what was the final standings? I'm certain I've never won one of these

[The Feral Slasher]

Congrats to CJ for finally winning one! Long time coming, and much deserved.



Also, big ups to El Bene, looked for a while like he might take the crown.

I would have won by 5 1/1000ths of a point if one pick had've went another way! 183.737 to 183.732. That would have been cruel on CJ! Not so on Feral or Pogues however, they would have deserved it.

Bump....

To help employees avoid burn-out, Merck concentrated on listening to its people. It conducted surveys and focus groups to understand their feelings, challenges and needs, Celeste says.
In doing so, Merck took a wise step to increasing employee trust and wellbeing. Overall, organizations that scored best on Great Place to Work’s ranking regularly gathered data on employees’ experience amid the pandemic using our Trust Index survey.
Merck’s efforts to take the pulse of its people paid off with insights, Celeste says.
“It quickly became clear that balancing work and family responsibilities as well as maintaining physical, mental and financial health were the major issues,” she says.
In response, Merck moved onsite exercise and yoga classes online, offered daily mindfulness calls, ran campaigns focused on resilience and burnout, and offered global webcasts by world-class speakers on resilience, men’s mental health and happiness.
