SAN FRANCISCO: The career-networking service LinkedIn has agreed to pay USD 1.8 million in back wages to hundreds of female workers to settle a pay discrimination complaint brought by US labour investigators. The US Labour Department announced Tuesday that it has reached a settlement agreement with LinkedIn to resolve allegations of "systemic, gender-based pay discrimination" in which women were paid less than men in comparable job roles. The settlement affects nearly 700 women who worked in engineering, product or marketing roles from 2015 to 2017 at the company's offices in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, California. It includes the time before and after Microsoft's USD 26.2 billion acquisition of LinkedIn in 2016. The settlement agreement says LinkedIn has denied the pay discrimination and argued that its statistical models didn't identify pay disparities. The government said its own analysis found significant pay disparities even after controlling for "legitimate explanatory factors." The agency said the case was sparked by a routine evaluation by its Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programmes. Federal laws ban discriminatory practices at companies that contract with the federal government. 10 Morning Routine Tips For Back-To-Office Transition10 Morning Routine Tips For Back-To-Office Transition Morning routines are very important because they…

What would you do if LinkedIn disappeared? Or had an outage? Do you have backups of the content you post? Do you have a full list of your past LinkedIn posts? Do you have a content calendar to manage them? Do you have a strong email list and are you engaging with your contacts by email regularly? You own your email list and your content calendar. You don’t own the information you post on LinkedIn. Not to be a Debbie Downer but it’s important to make sure you have your own marketing infrastruture in place so that you aren’t relying too much on housing data on any social platform. Because anything can happen. So what can you do? First request a full data archive of your past posts and create a content calendar from it. Here’s how to do it. Do this today – it will help you manage your content better, repurpose your posts and have peace of mind that you have all of your content in one place in a place on your own computer (but back it up on Dropbox or something else too). And build your email list and emarketing strategy. Get a CRM if you don’t already…

According to Alyssia Leach, a senior business marketing student at the University of Louisville and a side hustle content creator with over 140,000 followers, it's all about finding your niche and leveraging your strengths.The importance of focusFor someone who finds themselves having several strengths or interests, finding a niche can be difficult. But trying to do everything at once can make you seem unreliable and unfocused."I've made videos on niching down and got a lot of negative feedback, actually. People are like 'I love everything, I want to do everything.' And you end up like the man in the neighborhood who has 50 different business cards because he can do 50 different things.

Containment on the Tunnel Fire increased to 43% on Wednesday evening due to firefighters' continued hard work to mop up and secure the fire’s perimeter in the Sunset Crater National Monument and Black Mountain areas.

They will provide periodic updates as conditions change on the ground, and Inciweb will be updated…
