The results of a new survey indicate nearly 1 in 5 U.S. workers experience working under “toxic” conditions, with 22% of workers saying it has negatively affected their mental health.These concerning numbers come from the 2023 Work in America Survey from the American Psychological Association.“The number of individuals who report experiencing a toxic workplace without protection from harm is troubling,” Arthur C. Evans Jr., Ph.D., APA’s chief executive officer, said in a release. “No one should feel fear at work.

But mental health isn’t the only casualty of a toxic workplace. The study shows that turnover at the workplace soars and...

City Councilor Gabriela Coletta joined a chorus of parents concerned about new exam school admissions policy, calling on BPS to release data and revisit the tier-based structure.“While I commend the intention of the updated Exam School Policy to increase access and diversify our exam school student population, as with any new policy, there can be unintended consequences that leave out the very students we hope to serve,” Coletta wrote in a letter last week to BPS Superintendent Mary Skipper and shared on Twitter.The admission’s policy, approved by the Boston School Committee in July 2021, scores applicants based on GPA, an admissions test score and additional points — 10 points awarded to students at schools with over 40% economically disadvantaged students and 15 to students in DCF care, experiencing homelessness or living in publicly-subsidized housing.Students are divided into socioeconomic tiers based on their home address, and each tier receives the same...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:43:19 GMT

DENVER — Aaron Boone didn’t sound optimistic after Josh Donaldson hobbled down the first base line in the seventh inning of the Yankees’ Saturday win over the Rockies. The team later placed the infielder on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain on Sunday.Prospect Oswald Peraza was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to replace Donaldson, the team announced.Donaldson, who was “a little beat up” prior to the All-Star break and designated hitting for the second consecutive day on Saturday, hurt his right calf, according to Boone.
