Working at Tesla just got a lot more competitive—as in, practically impossible. At least for now. That’s because the 140,000-person company, which recently laid off a huge chunk of its workforce, now seems to be in a near-complete hiring freeze, Quartz reported today. Just weeks ago, over 3,400 positions were available between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. Now, only three can be found on Tesla’s job board. Tesla jobs can be found on LinkedIn, however, only one is available for U.S. workers, and it’s an internship for the company’s manufacturing development program.

The interest rates on federal student loans are fixed interest rates for the life of the loan. New interest rates apply to loans disbursed between July 1 and June 30.

Earlier this year, the second-richest man in the United Kingdom, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, was confirmed as the team’s co-owner earlier this year, and he’s coming in guns blazing (even though he’s no Arsenal fan). And his latest offensive move is ushering employees back to the office, according to an exclusive from The Guardian. Ratcliffe’s main motivator for getting everyone back to the pitch was a dip in email traffic, Manchester United staff told The Guardian. While the company has had a flexible schedule since the pandemic hit, Ratcliffe took issue with the 20% decrease in traffic on remote-mostly Fridays. He’s…

It shows a strategically bundled collection of creative tools—things like turntables, a piano, trumpet, cans of paint, a sculptured bust, an old arcade game, a mannequin for fashion design, a writing desk, camera lenses . . . all piled up in an industrial crusher. Then, to the melancholy tune of Sonny & Cher’s “All I Ever Need Is You,” all of these things are slowly and completely crushed into oblivion. Well, not quite oblivion—they were actually crushed into the new iPad Pro. Created in-house by Apple’s own creative…

Two names you’d never expect to hear together: Beyoncé and Fannie Mae. But in her song “YA YA” on her new album, “Cowboy Carter,” she sounds an alarm that’s growing louder in communities across America. “Wildfire burnt his house down/Insurance ain’t gonna pay no Fannie Mae.” We appreciate that Beyoncé raised this issue. For the record, Fannie Mae would help this man. While we don’t make home loans or collect payments (we buy and back mortgages), we do offer payment relief and other help if disaster strikes our homeowners. However, Beyoncé has a point: An estimated one in 13 U.S.…
People buying tickets online for concerts, sporting events and other live events in Minnesota will be guaranteed more transparency and protection under a so-called Taylor Swift bill signed into law Tuesday by Gov. Tim Walz. The law, prompted by the frustration a legislator felt at not being able to buy tickets to Swift’s 2023 concert in Minneapolis, will require ticket sellers to disclose all fees up front and prohibit resellers from selling more than one copy of a ticket, among other measures. The law will apply to tickets purchased in Minnesota or other states for concerts or other live events…

The cost of living has spiraled, the threat of layoffs (thanks to AI and overhiring) looms, and flexible working arrangements won before bosses started issuing return-to-office mandates are now like gold dust. That’s why, after three years of workers quitting their jobs at a record pace—about 47 million Americans left their jobs in 2021 alone—experts have reassured employers that 2024 will be the year of the “Great Stay”. Even the professor who coined the term “Great Resignation” predicted that it would fizzle out by New Year’s Eve 2023. However, new data from LinkedIn and Microsoft shows that they might have been…
