Holiday spending hacks: How to unwrap savings without sacrificing festive cheerBecause of systemic racism and discriminatory practices, Black people are disproportionately performing invisible work - unpaid labor, tasks, and responsibilities at home and the workplace that are not compensated or recognized as valuable or essential in our society. Black people also have an additional burden to bear – stereotype management. Many people, particularly women, are encumbered by invisible work, with women in the U.S. spending an average of 4.1 hours per day on unpaid household chores and caregiving and men 2.5 hours per day. But as we outline in our new book, Our (In)visible Work, the emotional toll and daily stress is even greater on Blacks, who also must navigate microaggressions and racism as they perform their duties in the workplace. This emotional burden is a significant and often harmful aspect of their invisible work. In interviews for the book, Black executives detailed some of their unique encounters with invisible work. They are forced to moderate their hair, tone, and attire while managing their emotions and maintaining composure to meet societal and organizational expectations. This can be exhausting and lead to emotional dissonance. Further, Black executives recounted experiences of “the glass cliff,” a phenomenon referring to the trend of underrepresented individuals being appointed to leadership positions in corporations and organizations when the entities face significant crises or complex challenges. They are put in vulnerable situations where they can be easily blamed for failures, even if they begin to turn things around. Some recent examples include Simon & Schuster naming Dana Canedy the first Black woman to head a major publishing firm and Simone Oliver appointed global editor-in-chief of Refinery29. At the time, both entities faced turmoil. Neither are still with the companies. Clearly, evidence of the glass cliff has extended to racially and ethnically underrepresented executives. A study by professors Alison Cook and Christine Glass analyzed Fortune 500 companies, finding that Blacks and women were more likely to be promoted to a CEO position after an organization experienced a decline in performance. Khalil, who is in his 40s and has over 15 years of leadership experience, noted in his interview for our book that most, if not all, his promotions were to fix dysfunctional scenarios throughout his career. Said Khalil: “I find myself in these leadership positions — the repair mode of fixing things others can’t fix. Or they recruit people like me, people of color and women, to fix it. We are put in dysfunctional scenarios to save the day. It is an uphill battle. No matter what you do, you’ll never really feel as though you’re making progress. However, you’re laying enough of a foundation for someone else to learn later that you did make it better; you fixed the foundation. Instead of getting the legacy positions or inheriting a successful team to come in and fine-tune the bells and whistles. We don’t tend to be put in those same positions; we get the fix-it opportunities.” Miles, a 40s finance executive, agreed, saying, “I’ve lost count of how many recruiting calls I get for CEO roles at organizations in financial disarray.” Increasingly, when trouble is brewing, Blacks and women are generally called to fix the problems. They are consistently called upon to help when profits fall; customers are outraged, employees are disengaged, a house is a disaster, or a last-minute party needs cake. Throughout history, there has been an unhealthy obsession with positioning certain individuals as only worthy of serving, saving, or solving when societal and operational ills demand it. “For over five decades, this organization has never authentically targeted the Black and Latina community, and all of the sudden, they hire me and expect me to fix it within months,” said Patti, a Black woman in her 30s working in business development. Khalil and others interviewed in the book discussed how their attire and tone significantly affect how colleagues and supervisors treat them. The choice of attire also carries implications for identity and personal branding. Khalil also noted the need to actively disarm others in certain situations to ensure his voice is heard. “If I’m not dressed a certain way, I’m not treated a certain way,” Khalil said. “As soon as my slacks or business attire come off, I don’t get acknowledged or served. So I’ve learned that my dress, my talk, my tone, my mannerisms, my body language, all of that has to be evaluated and toned down or turned off in certain situations. I’ve also learned that I over smile to disarm people because naturally they are already defensive interacting with a Black man, so smiling has helped with opening the dialogue and relationship building.” Moreover, Miles said, “Until about two years ago, I had to consistently think about my hair and hairstyles. I’ve had an Afro. I’ve had dreads. I’ve had twists, yet just Google “unprofessional hairstyles,” and you’ll see the majority, if not all, are pictures of Black men. Ah, and then don’t even get me started on having to have a clean-shaven face. For seven years, between 2001-2008, I lost track of how many times I was written up by my manager for not meeting the policy of clean shaved — even though I had a doctor’s note in my personnel file. Once again, it is such a colonized version of what was and is still considered professional.” Our (In)visible Work also has stories of the emotional labor women, particularly Black women, experience being characterized as having tonality problems simply because society has been socialized and primed to expect a softer, more nurturing tone from a woman. Kenzie, a 40s, Black, sales executive, reflected on her 20-year career and said others have been uncomfortable because of her confidence and directness but masked it as tonality and emotionality. ‘I’m confident, driven, and direct, always have been, always will be,” she said. “And for so long folks made it about me, saying I should watch my tone and calm down. I am calm, and I realized it wasn’t me. It was them and their discomfort sharing space with a strong, confident, Black woman.” Invisible work may go unnoticed, but its impact significantly shapes our society. Let us not overlook the invisible work done by Blacks, but instead, give credit where credit is due and strive for a more inclusive and equitable society. We must actively work towards dismantling systems of oppression and valuing the contributions of Blacks and other marginalized groups, especially by acknowledging, valuing, and compensating for invisible work. ***** Dr. Wells and Dr. MacAulay are award-winning scholars at the Muma College of Business at the University of South Florida.Implements INDATA SaaS on a Front-to-Back Office Basis delivered via iPM Private Cloud GREENWICH, Conn. , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- INDATA , a leading industry provider of cloud-native, SaaS-based solutions for buyside firms, today announced that Paradigm Capital Management (PCM) is live with INDATA's Software-as-a-Service for Front, Middle and Back Office .

Pennycuick announces new law criminalizing AI-generated deepfake child pornographySam Kerr may still be three months away from returning to the field. The Matildas captain has had a devastating setback in her program to recover from knee surgery, her club Chelsea confirmed on Saturday (AEDT). The 31-year-old has been out of action in 2024, needing surgery to repair a ruptured ACL in her knee in January. The injury saw her miss the Matildas’ entire Paris Olympics campaign. However, nobody could have prepared Chelsea and Aussie fans for the news that Kerr’s recovery will stretch to well over 12 months. Recovery from ACL surgery for elite athletes typically does not extend beyond 12 months. However, Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor has dropped the news Kerr is not even training with teammates yet and remains on a modified recovery program. “I would say Sam we are looking to maybe have back with us February, March, not before that,” the Chelsea boss said. “She didn’t start yet to train, even being modified with the group, so she’s still on her individual process rehab and I think it will take at least two or three more months for her to be fit enough to be with the squad.” It means Kerr will only return in time for the final few months before the Women’s Super League season wraps up in May. Matildas interim coach Tom Sermanni recently said he expected Kerr to return to the Matildas squad in the next FIFA international window — where they will play Japan, the United States and Colombia in February. Kerr cryptically said on a BBC podcast in September that she had a “little bit more going on than an ACL”. Sam Kerr will have time to support Kristie Mewis. Sermanni said last month he had not been made aware of any other issues surrounding the return of his star striker. “Her rehab is going really well,” Sermanni said, adding that ACL injuries typically take at least a full year to heal. “Things are getting a little bit better in rehab, but in reality, it’s still probably a 12-month injury, and Sam’s taking that time to come back to ensure that hopefully, when she comes back, she’s going to be completely fit and healthy.” Several of Kerr’s other Matildas teammates have returned from the same injury in a shorter 9-10 months time frame, like defender Ellie Carpenter. But after missing the Olympics and with no major international tournament on the line Kerr is taking time to ensure her body is properly ready before making her comeback. The silver lining to the sad injury update is that Kerr will have more time to support partner Kristie Mewis as the West Ham star carries the couple’s first child. The pair announced their news in November with a cute Instagram post that had a simple caption: “Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025.” Their announcement was spoiled somewhat by a storm of ugly comments on social media that prompted the football club to hit out at “unacceptable and hateful homophobic comments”. Kerr and Mewis announced their engagement last November, two months after rumours initially swirled about the move. Matildas star Sam Kerr at Chelsea training with Kristie Mewis. Sam Kerr celebrating a goal. Photo by IZHAR KHAN / AFP. The pair kept it quiet, playing a game with fans as they refused to confirm the news until Mewis broke the couple’s silence on November 9 in an exclusive interview with People Magazine. And a post confirmed the couple were engaged on September 1, 2023. That was just under two weeks after the Matildas’ World Cup campaign ended in the 2-0 third-place playoff loss to Sweden. Kerr and Mewis went public with their relationship in 2021 after the Tokyo Olympics and since then the power couple have regularly shared snaps together. “We’re not private people,” Kerr told Gaffer. “I like sharing my story. I like sharing who I am outside of football.” Kerr added that it was important to her to be with someone who understood the demands of football, particularly when they play on the opposite sides of the world. Mewis added: “I think just being out and being two girls in love, I think if we can change one or two people’s lives, and the way that they feel about each other and how comfortable they feel, then that means a lot to me. “I love to share my relationship on social media.” The pair won over fans at the World Cup, sharing a photo dump of their time together, as well as being snapped celebrating with a kiss.

Stay ConnectedNEW YORK — A slide for market superstar Nvidia on Monday knocked Wall Street off its big rally and helped drag U.S. stock indexes down from their records. The S&P 500 fell 0.6%, coming off its 57th all-time high of the year so far. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 240 points, or 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite pulled back 0.6% from its own record. Nvidia’s fall of 2.5% was by far the heaviest weight on the S&P 500 after China said it’s investigating the company over suspected violations of Chinese anti-monopoly laws. Nvidia skyrocketed to become one of Wall Street’s most valuable companies because its chips are driving much of the world’s move into artificial-intelligence technology. That gives its stock’s movements more sway on the S&P 500 than nearly every other. Nvidia’s drop overshadowed gains in Hong Kong and for Chinese stocks trading in the United States on hopes that China will deliver more stimulus for the world’s second-largest economy. Roughly 3 in 7 of the stocks in the S&P 500 also rose. The week’s highlight for Wall Street will arrive midweek when the latest updates on inflation arrive. Economists expect Wednesday’s report to show the inflation that U.S. consumers are feeling remained stuck at close to the same level last month. A separate report on Thursday, meanwhile, could show an acceleration in inflation at the wholesale level. “Investors should enjoy this rally while it lasts — there’s little on the horizon to disrupt the momentum through year-end,” according to Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide, though he warns stocks could stumble soon because of how overheated they’ve gotten. On Wall Street, Interpublic Group rose 3.6% after rival Omnicom said it would buy the marketing and communications firm in an all-stock deal. The pair had a combined revenue of $25.6 billion last year. Omnicom, meanwhile, sank 10.2%. Macy’s climbed 1.8% after an activist investor, Barington Capital Group, called on the retailer to buy back at least $2 billion of its own stock over the next three years and make other moves to help boost its stock price. All told, the S&P 500 fell 37.42 points to 6,052.85. The Dow dipped 240.59 to 4,401.93, and the Nasdaq composite lost 123.08 to 19,736.69. In the oil market, a barrel of benchmark U.S. crude rallied 1.7% to settle at $68.37 following the overthrow of Syrian leader Bashar Assad, who sought asylum in Moscow after rebels overthrew his regime. Brent crude, the international standard, added 1.4% to $72.14 per barrel. The price of gold also rose 1% to $2,685.80 per ounce amid the uncertainty created by the end of the Assad family’s 50 years of iron rule. Get local news delivered to your inbox!
