Tbh on my last project, I was so busy that I didn't even know what was happening in the world. Anything I did know was a result of trending topics on Facebook or Twitter 👀

like

The Skimm sends a daily (M-F) morning email summarizing top current events. It's not an overwhelming amount of info but it's enough to keep me moderately up to date (and its short enough to read while eating my breakfast each morning). I also follow a few news outlets on Facebook/Twitter

What works best for me is following all the major news publications and international orgs (IMF, World Bank, etc.) on Facebook since I'm constantly checking my newsfeed and in today's world pretty much every single one of these outlets post their updates in real time on FB and Twitter.

The Skimm is a really great email digest, it has links to the lengthier articles if you want to know more about it

like

WSJ (every morning commute), the Economist, Financial Times. Bloomberg Businessweek

The Daily Pnut is fantastic - one page email on global events each morning. Plus, they are funny. dailypnut.com/?ref=pnut0116645

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
