Le Monde: Team Kleenex: What if we (finally) accepted crying in the workplace?
Crying at work, once seen as a sign of weakness, is becoming more accepted. A 2019 survey revealed that 80% of respondents had cried at work, often due to stress or personal issues. Some leaders, like psychologist Bénédicte Vassard, advocate for vulnerability as a way to connect with teams.
However, this trend raises concerns about "tearful branding," where emotional displays may be perceived as self-promotion rather than genuine expressions of vulnerability. The balance between authenticity and image in the workplace is increasingly complicated.

Front Page Magazine: Biden Admin Gave Millions to EV Company Under Indictment. It Just Went Bankrupt
Green energy companies continue to attract government funding despite scandals. Nikola, an electric truck maker, received a $2 million grant from the Energy Department even as its founder faced criminal charges for fraud and the company struggled to produce operational trucks.
Nikola's valuation once surpassed Ford's, but it has since filed for bankruptcy, with only $47 million in cash remaining. The Department of Energy maintains that its funding process is rigorous, yet the outcome reflects a pattern of fraud in the green energy sector.

A new app called "Protector" has launched in Los Angeles and New York City, allowing users to hire armed ex-military and law enforcement for personal security, similar to rideshare services. The app offers 24-hour mobile booking, starting at $100 an hour with a minimum of five hours.
