In a poetic obituary posted on LinkedIn by Vishnu Vardhan, former Executive Director at Morgan Stanley, the spirit of Bengaluru has been declared dead — not in a literal sense, but in soul and substance. In a post that has resonated widely, Vardhan’s eulogy is not just a lament — it is a scathing societal critique, a love letter, and a wake-up call rolled into one. Titled “Obituary Notice: Mother is Murdered”, the post uses the metaphor of a nurturing, giving and quietly enduring mother to personify Bengaluru — a city once synonymous with garden walks, filter coffee musings and a harmonious blend of intellect and intimacy. But in Vardhan’s rendition, this mother has died. Not suddenly, but slowly, silently — as her 1.6 crore children watched, unaware or perhaps unwilling to act. A green dream turned grey Bengaluru, once dubbed India’s “Garden City”, is now better known for its tech corridors, glass towers and gridlocked traffic. In Vardhan’s words, she was once “draped in green, cooled by soft winds & warmed by human connection.” But today, that pastoral promise has been replaced by “5 minutes of rain, 4 hours of gridlock,” and a suffocating urban sprawl.

Powered byMarseille president Pablo Longoria spent ‘sleepless night’ writing LinkedIn postMarseille club president Pablo Longoria made a lengthy statement on LinkedIn earlier this week hoping to show a united front at the club before facing bottom side Montpellier this weekend. “I don’t usually speak out publicly during tense periods. But I feel this is the right moment. Soberly. Simply,” Longoria wrote. “We’re not here to assign blame. Nor to feed the noise around us.” Longoria also took the time to address Marseille’s supporters, particularly those who made the trip to Monaco. “I understand the frustration. And I understand the anger.”The Spaniard called for unity at the club ahead of the last five games of the season, where UEFA Champions League qualification will be vital for Les Olympiens to avoid disaster by the end of the season. According to a report from L’Équipe, Longoria spent a sleepless night writing the lengthy statement on LinkedIn. Marseille’s current third place Champions League spot currently hands by a thread, with Lyon trailing one point behind and LOSC as well as Strasbourg chasing just behind on 50 points. Les Olympiens face bottom side Montpellier this evening at the Vélodrome (21:05 CET).GFFN | George Boxall

The Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023 comes into force in April, providing new rights for staff who care for newborns. Here’s what HR and employers need to know. Following the passing of the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Act 2023, the government has now confirmed that the new rights for employees with newborns requiring neonatal care will come into force on 6 April 2025. The Act is intended to support new parents during a particularly vulnerable stage of their working lives. Unlike most parental leave, the need for neonatal leave is unexpected and urgent, often requiring parents to make an impossible choice between financial security and caring for their child. The Act is set to provide statutory leave from day one of employment, allowing employees to stay with their newborns during a critical period of medical or palliative care, if admitted into hospital for a continuous period of seven days within the first 28 days after birth.

Jobs Elaine Varelas provides guidance on how posting political content on LinkedIn could potentially have a negative impact on both a company’s recruiting efforts and reputation. Ask the Job Doc. Boston.com Q.  I’m in HR and one of our recruiters posts pro-Trump content almost every day. This does not represent the company’s viewpoint, and we remain apolitical for obvious reasons. We are a global company. Can we tell people what they are allowed to post on LinkedIn?A. This is a great question as there are varying viewpoints on who owns LinkedIn content. Is it the individual? Is it the company? Is it some combination of the two? If you’re a recruiter, your organization is most likely paying for you to have an advanced LinkedIn account, such as LinkedIn Recruiter.A company’s Employee Handbook and Guidelines should include guidance on how the organization’s equipment is not to be used for political comments or solicitations of a personal nature.
