Home Nintendo Switch Adventure Detective Pikachu (Image credit: The Pokemon Company) The Detective Pikachu sequel is apparently "nearing release," according to one developer's LinkedIn profile.As first picked up on by FamiBoards (opens in new tab) earlier this week, one developer at The Pokemon Company might've shed new light on plans for Detective Pikachu 2. This developer's 'Experience' section of their LinkedIn profile reveals that one project they worked on, namely Detective Pikachu 2, is "nearing release."This is the first we've heard of Detective Pikachu 2 in a long while. Earlier this year in February, collaborating developer Creatures revealed that they were still working on the game, with it being in active development, via a section on its website. This simple admission was newsworthy because we hadn't heard anything about Detective Pikachu 2 in the three years prior. After announcing the sequel in 2019, both The Pokemon Company and Creatures have gone completely silent on the sequel, never mentioning it in countless Pokemon Presents showcases since then.Considering this, it'd be easy to see why fans naturally assumed the sequel had been cancelled. We're still at a loss for when Detective Pikachu 2 could be launching, but here's hoping it is "nearing release."Check…

Organizations and business leaders need to think about using learning as a retention lever. Because if people are learning and growing, let's face it — they'll stay.Colette StallbaumerGM, Microsoft 365 and Future of WorkEarlier this year, Microsoft found that 52% of young people polled, namely Gen Z and millennial workers, said they were likely to consider changing employers this year.But for companies hoping to retain these employees, not all hope is lost. According to Microsoft, 73% of Gen Z and Millennials said they would stay longer at their jobs if it's easier to change roles internally. Younger workers are also more likely to stay if their companies give them the flexibility to pursue "side hustles" or businesses for additional income, said Microsoft. Microsoft defines Gen Z as those who are between the ages of 18 and 26, and millennials as those between 27 and 41."With the Great Reshuffle, companies have been trying to hang on to the people that they have," Colette Stallbaumer, the general manager for Microsoft 365 and "future of work," told CNBC Make It in a virtual interview. The Great Resignation — also known as the "Great Reshuffle" — refers to the exodus of workers during the pandemic. Employees left their jobs for higher…

Figma CEO Dylan Field will have one billion added reasons to stick around Adobe for a while.Gabriela Hasbun/The Forbes Collection Figma’s cofounder and some employees are set to make billions more in a historic retention package following its acquisition by the software giant. Adobe caused a stir on Wall Street and in Silicon Valley when it announced on Thursday that it was buying design software startup Figma for $20 billion. But the deal is far more expensive for Adobe, due to a historic retention package for CEO Dylan Field and employees worth $2.3 billion at the time of announcement — more than $1 billion of that for Field alone. The additional compensation comes in the form of six million restricted stock units, or RSUs, that vest over four years, Adobe disclosed in its deal announcement. But half of that is earmarked specifically for Field alone, two sources with knowledge tell Forbes. And Adobe initially offered Field more, the sources add, before the CEO settled upon a roughly even split with staff. Adobe did not respond to a request for comment on Field’s retention package. A Figma spokesperson declined to comment on Field’s and Figma’s behalf. At Adobe’s announced acquisition price…

One of the most frequent questions I get asked is, “I have a LinkedIn profile, now what?” Having a profile is not enough to highlight your professional self. You need to actively engage (beyond liking a post) to help position yourself as an expert and leader in the field. You might be thinking, “Am I an expert?” or “I don’t have a formal leadership title or manager role, so I am not a leader.” This is not true: You can be an expert and a leader in your field, regardless of time in role or your formal role and responsibilities.  Maggie Becker is senior advisor, sales training for Dell Technologies and is based out of Auburn. Find her on LinkedIn at www.linkedin.com/in/maggiebecker. Being an expert and leader is about positioning yourself to be active and engaged in conversations on topics of interest aligning with your career passions. When recruiters are evaluating candidates, or when someone is determining who to reach out to for an informational conversation, those who are engaged and facilitating conversations, are the ones who stand out the best. Use the strategies below on how to move from passive to active and engaged on LinkedIn. Maximize your profile.…

Over the past couple years, LinkedIn has been trying to encourage content that will keep users engaged on the site (Image Source: Reuters) Lora KelleyAbout three years ago, Joel Lalgee started posting on LinkedIn. He works in recruiting, so naturally, he spent a lot of time on the site, where people list their work experience and job seekers look for their next gig. But he didn’t just write about work. He wrote about his personal life: the mental health challenges he faced as a teenager, and his life since. “Being able to share my story, I saw it as a way to connect with people and show you’re not alone,” he said.Something else happened, too. “Six months in, I started seeing a big increase in engagement, followers, inbound business leads,” said Lalgee, 35. He now has more than 140,000 followers on LinkedIn, up from the 9,000 he had before he started posting.“The way you can go viral is to be really vulnerable,” he said, adding, “Old school LinkedIn was definitely not like this.”LinkedIn, which was started in 2003, was first known primarily as a place to share résumés and connect with co-workers. It later added a newsfeed and introduced ways…
