Preventing burnout is now the number one job for bosses. These 7 strategies can protect your teams

Between layoffs and hiring freezes and a newfound laser focus on profits and productivity, today’s employees are being asked to do more with fewer resources—a one-way ticket to burnout. As a result, managers are tasked with a seemingly impossible job: motivating their teams while managing them during turbulent times. The key, according to experts, is understanding that investing in empathy is an investment in performance.

Is Scrotal Tightening Really A New Plastic Surgery Trend? Study Asks 653 People To Rate Scrotums  
Is Scrotal Tightening Really A New Plastic Surgery Trend? Study Asks 653 People To Rate Scrotums
This is a continuing issue in plastic surgery. There are certainly times when plastic surgery is needed because the structure of a body party is causing real functional problems. However, as has been seen with both male and female body parts, entertainment and marketing efforts can make it seem like there’s some type of ideal appearance that everyone should strive for when in actuality no such ideal exists. In most cases, appearance is highly subjective and conditioned by what we see in advertising, movies, and television. OK, in the case of scrotums, it’s probably more advertising since TV shows don’t tend to be scrotum-based. When selling products and services, there can be a tendency to promote one-size-fits-all solution rather than celebrate the variety in life. And when it comes to scrotums, it’s definitely not a one-size-fits-ball situation.
