Increased productivity and improved staff wellbeing were among the results of a year-long trial of the four-day week by the Scottish government.

Staff at the two organisations reported less work-related stress and greater satisfaction with their jobs and work-life balance.

Almost all workers (98%) at SOSE believed the four-day week trial improved motivation and morale, while there was a decrease in workers taking time off sick and a 25% fall in those taking sick days for psychological reasons.

When Luigi Mangione was arrested for the alleged murder of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare in December 2024, public reaction shocked observers. Far from universal condemnation, many people expressed support. This was especially true among younger people, with polls showing 41% of young adults viewed the murder as acceptable.

So what leads the average person to justify extreme violence? Our recently published research, in the special issue “Understanding violent extremism” of the APA Journal Psychology of Violence, locates the answer in one increasingly widespread phenomenon: workplace burnout.

Mangione’s manifesto cites “corruption and greed” as a source of frustration, a sentiment that resonates widely amid growing dissatisfaction with modern work environments. Recent research shows that broader patterns of systemic frustration and perceived corruption are associated with burnout.

Our study, which took daily surveys from over 600 employees, suggests burnout may quietly fuel worrying attitudes – specifically, the potential justification of violent extremism – towards the perceived source of their distress.

This was my battle last night. Trying to post how much a 3k deductible cost between my employer and I.

10k annual premium for me.

13k for my employers contribution.

3k Deductibles are seperate so 6k for family

Max out of pocket 10k.

I have since switched to a "higher" deductible plan with HSA. Still rediculous

Thank you Lemmy developers, server admins, and mods for allowing us to have a have an actual conversation/discussion/debate!
