💻 Nearly every Fortune 500 company is hiding the same uncomfortable secret: they have hired a North Korean IT worker. THE BIG PICTURE: For North Korea, this is a precious revenue stream that evades American sanctions — capitalizing on the wealth of high-paying remote worker roles in the U.S. to route cash back to Pyongyang. In the past two years, companies and their security partners have begun to grasp the scale of the problem — and now, they're sounding the alarm about where it's headed next.

American CEOs are looking to reset workplace culture by emphasizing productivity and speed over flexibility and work-life balance. This is causing some employees to feel bamboozled. Yes, but: CEOs are no longer hiding behind the veil of collaboration as the only reason for RTO. — Macro factors like AI disruption, economic/ trade uncertainty and increased competition are causing many to kick it into high gear. https://lnkd.in/e5AssV2P

A report released Wednesday by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) shows that people are still moving to Atlanta, though the city's growth rate is slower than it was a decade ago. Increasing housing costs and the dwindling supply of affordable housing are primary factors in what's causing the metro area's growth rate to slow, according to the ARC. More people in the region means increased demand for housing and additional stress on existing infrastructure. The growth that is happening is largely fueled by multi-family housing projects in Midtown and along the Beltline. Read more: https://lnkd.in/egwCKhi5

It’s #WorldBreastfeedingWeek — a good time to remind working moms (and everyone else): 🤱Yes, exclusively breastfeeding is amazing and “natural.” But it can be the Hardest Thing Ever or Physically Impossible. Especially if you don't have adequate parental leave. For the mom, it often comes with sore or bleeding nipples, difficulty getting a proper latch, the risk of clogged milk ducts, round-the-clock feedings during infant growth spurts, mood swings and intense hunger, endless cleaning and sterilizing of bottles and pumps, and feeling the weight of engorged breasts that can wake you up when you already have chronic sleep deprivation. 🧠 Meanwhile, research finds that the pressure to be "good at breastfeeding" can tank your mental health. That’s not good for you or your baby. 🍼 Why it matters: Pediatric nutrition experts say that infant formula is safe, effective and essential for many families. 📊 By the numbers: Only 28% of babies born in 2022 were exclusively breastfed for six months, per the latest CDC data. But a growing number of families are embracing combo feeding (formula and breast milk), which offers some immune benefits for baby, while easing the pressure on mom. 👋 I hope some of this resonates. My son is about to turn one, so clearly postpartum health is top of mind for me and my reporting. Read more over at Axios. https://lnkd.in/gdxgcSvK
