Working Strategies: Summertime blues and the work-life balance

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:02:09 GMT

Amy LindgrenThere’s nothing like navigating icy sidewalks in April to make you ready for a change. As in, I am so done with this! It’s been a long winter in many parts of the U.S., breaking records for inclement weather and relentless storm systems. It wouldn’t be surprising to see trends for relocations or other life changes this spring as people take stock of their lives.Anecdotally, one pattern I often see in the spring is an increase in conversations about ramping down at work. Being based in Minnesota, I have no doubt about the timing: Life is short, but summer is shorter. Worker bees suddenly freed from their parkas and wool hats start thinking about real bees, and birds, and flowers, and everything else they’ve been missing.It’s not a geographic phenomena by any means.

Banks remain wary of marijuana industry, even after Missouri legalization vote

Jason Nelson just wants to get as close to “fairly normalized business banking” as possible.But as the owner of Swade dispensaries and Sinse Cannabis cultivation, that’s much harder than it sounds.He’s a customer at Triad Bank in St. Louis, one of the few banks in Missouri willing to work with cannabis businesses. His employees have direct-deposit for payroll, 401-K contributions and full benefits packages. But there’s a lot that’s not normal, like the company’s inability to have a business credit card. “That’s just a non-starter for us with a cannabis business,” Nelson said.Major credit card companies want nothing to do with a business that sells a product the federal government still considers illegal — even in states that have legalized marijuana. That means all transactions for cannabis businesses nationwide are done in cash.Few banks nationwide serve cannabis businesses and their owners — or even their auxiliary partners – for the same reason.“There’s this divide...
