Best Monday ever: Whole office logged off at 3 pm. Who gave this brilliant idea to CEO? An intern
What started as a light-hearted addition to a topical calendar ended up redefining Mondays for an entire office. At Yoho, a seemingly innocent move by an intern—adding 'Leave the Office Early Day'—sparked a chain reaction no one expected. What began as a joke quickly snowballed into action, and suddenly, employees were logging off at 3 PM on a Monday. No meetings, no Slack pings—just silent desks and surprised smiles.Albia Siddique from Yoho took to LinkedIn to narrate how it all unfolded. While reviewing the month's topical calendar, she noticed the quirky entry and decided to roll with it. The post went live. Someone cracked a joke—'Should we actually do it?' The joke gained traction. Soon, it became a genuine pitch to the founder. And in just an hour, HR gave the green signal: 'Cool. Everyone logs off at 3.'The result? A quiet, empty office by 3:01 PM—and possibly the best Monday of the year. What began as a tongue-in-cheek calendar note became a reminder of how spontaneity, fun, and a little rule-breaking can lift workplace spirits. A big win for the intern initiative The internet had a field day reacting to the intern-led early log-off at Yoho. Many praised the refreshing approach to workplace culture , with one user applauding the company for recognising that productivity isn't about clocking long hours but maintaining balance. Another joked about wanting to apply to this "intern-powered utopia." Several others chimed in with witty takes, calling the intern the 'best employee of the year' and imagining how powerful they must've felt that Monday. The overall sentiment? Pure admiration—and a touch of envy.

AI To Create Mad Max-Like Future? Top Economist's Chilling Prediction
MIT economist David Autor has warned that rapid automation caused by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) could lead to a Mad Max scenario where jobs may still exist, but the skills that once generated wages would become less valuable, making the paychecks smaller and existence difficult. "The more likely scenario to me looks much more like Mad Max: Fury Road, where everybody is competing over a few remaining resources that aren't controlled by some warlord somewhere," Mr Autor said on the Possible podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reed Hoffman. The reference by Mr Autor is from the 2015 movie by George Miller, set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland where scarcity and inequality prevail while a tyrant rules over the hapless population. Mr Autor believes that AI could concentrate the wealth in the hands of people at the top while the workers fight for morsels. "The threat that rapid automation poses - to the degree it poses as a threat - is not running out of work, but making the valuable skills that people have highly abundant so they're no longer valuable," he said, adding that roles like typists, factory technicians, and even taxi driver might be replaced. AI to take away jobs Mr Autor is not the only one warning about a dystopian AI future. In May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned that AI could soon wipe out 50 per cent of entry-level white-collar jobs within the next five years. He added that governments across the world were downplaying the threat when AI's rising use could lead to a significant spike in unemployment numbers. "We, as the producers of this technology, have a duty and an obligation to be honest about what is coming. I don't think this is on people's radar," said Mr Amodei. According to the Anthropic boss, unemployment could increase by 10 per cent to 20 per cent over the next five years, with most of the people 'unaware' about what was coming. "Most of them are unaware that this is about to happen. It sounds crazy, and people just don't believe it," he said. "It's a very strange set of dynamics where we're saying: 'You should be worried about where the technology we're building is going.'"

Friends Accused of Trading on Data for Edgar Face Widening Probe
(Bloomberg) -- The FBI had to move fast when agents learned that two men who were the focus on an insider trading investigation were about to get on a flight to Hong Kong. Before they could board the early morning June 28 flight, federal agents arrested Justin Chen, 31, and Jun Zhen, 29. Prosecutors say they pocketed at least $1 million by taking information they learned from their job at a private company that formats materials before they are submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission's Edgar filing system. At a pair of court hearings, prosecutors said that they were aware of at least four companies where the two men allegedly made trades based on non-public information. But officials were investigating whether Chen and Zhen traded in at least six more companies when they were arrested, hours before getting on the Cathay Pacific flight to Hong Kong. 'We probably wouldn't have arrested the defendants at this point as the investigation is ongoing,' Nicholas Axelrod, an assistant US attorney, said at one of the hearings. 'If not for that travel.' The arrests spotlight ongoing problems with how confidential information can be obtained by insiders before it's publicly released on the Edgar database, the SEC's online portal for more than 30 years. In 2021, the SEC brought enforcement cases against several people who they accused of hacking into third-party companies that dealt with Edgar system. Chen was an Edgar assistant manager and Zhen was a typeset assistant manager at New York-based Companies like EdgarAgents help prepare company filings before they are sent to the Edgar system and distributed to the public. Between March and June 2025, prosecutors say the two obtained material, nonpublic information ahead of announcements like mergers 'that resulted in significant increases in the share price of each company's stock.' 'This was an incredibly brazen scheme,'Axelrod told a federal magistrate in Brooklyn, New York, on Monday. 'They traded on the information and they traded aggressively.' Lawyers for both men declined to comment on the charges. Neither man has entered a plea at this point in the proceedings. Chen, who prosecutors say made $100,000 a year, had worked at the company since 2020 and had been working at firms that handled Edgar data since 2012, according to his LinkedIn profile. His sister also worked at the company. Prosecutors say that the two men had accessed proposed filings on at least four companies before the information was public; Ondas Holdings Inc., Purple Innovation Inc., Signing Day Sports Inc. and SigmaTron International Inc. In one example, prosecutors say Chen and Zhen both bought tens of thousands of shares of Ondas Holdings just before the company released an SEC 8-K form disclosing that it had entered into a strategic partnership with Palantir, a multibillion-provider of artificial intelligence service. They made about $36,749 in the 24-hour period before and after the announcement. EdgarAgents Chief Executive Officer Stephen Bonventre said the company was cooperating with the US investigation and that both men were no longer with the company. 'The alleged activities run completely counter to our company values and the integrity with which we've built our business,' he said in a statement. The SEC declined to comment on the case, though Axelrod said in court that the agency told prosecutors they detected suspicious trading in other companies, which is now part of the government's ongoing criminal investigation. At the two court hearings following their arrests, Axelrod portrayed Chen and Zhen as two men on the brink of fleeing the country who shouldn't be given bail while the case proceeds. He pointed to a text Chen sent Zhen: 'We gotta get out quick.' During the hearing on Monday, however, Magistrate Judge Peggy Kuo was skeptical of Axelrod's argument that Chen's 'we gotta get out quick' message meant the two men were going to flee. Kuo said that Chen may have meant he needed to 'get out' of his trading position rather than getting out of the US. 'I read that as in a flight context,' Axelrod said. 'It's the government's concern the defendant could flee.' He cited another text from Chen to Zhen as evidence they had been planning to escape. 'Give me 2 months to get as much as possible,' the text read, according to Axelrod. Chen's lawyer, Charles Millioen, sought to have his client released, arguing that since his passport had been taken, he couldn't leave the US anyway. At an initial hearing last week, Zhen's lawyer, Chris Wright, also said his client wasn't a flight risk. 'He has every reason to stay in the United States,' Wright said. 'His family is here. He's not a citizen of China, he is an American citizen.' Chen's mother wept on Monday as her son sat stoically listening to the government's allegations. She and Chen's sister, who called in for the bail hearing, agreed to post $10,000 in cash to win his release. Kuo said that Chen could be released on a $1 million bond, guaranteed by his mother and sister. 'Hopefully, that is enough to keep Mr. Chen in the district,' Kuo said. Chen was released Tuesday. Zhen, whose bail was set at $500,000, remains in custody as of Saturday morning, according to federal Bureau of Prisons records. More stories like this are available on

‘Our culture doesn't encourage us to stand out': Here's why many from China struggle to find jobs in UK
Finding a job in the United Kingdom (UK) has become increasingly difficult for international graduates. Chinese students face additional hurdles due to cultural and language barriers, according to a report by the South China Morning Post (SCMP). Harley Hu, 25, completed her master's degree in education last year. She told SCMP she sent out 'maybe 200 or 300 CVs' before finding full-time work. Even now, her job does not sponsor visas, and her post-study visa will expire in 2026. 'If I can't sort it out, I'll have to prepare to go back to China,' Hu said. She added: 'In China, we're taught that degrees are everything. But once you're overseas, you realise employers care a lot more about experience and no one really tells us that.' The UK graduate job market is highly competitive, with youth unemployment at 14.3 per cent. Chinese graduates are especially affected. Although Chinese nationals account for about 25 per cent of international students in the UK, they receive only 10 per cent of graduate visas. Indian students, by contrast, receive over 40 per cent. One reason, SCMP reports, is that many Chinese students plan to return home after graduating. But others give up after struggling to find work. Most Chinese students enrol in one-year master's programmes, leaving little time to adapt. 'Just when you start adapting to life here, it's already time to hunt for work, and you're not ready,' Hu said. Jack Chen, a humanities graduate from the University of York, told SCMP he has applied for over 400 jobs since finishing his degree. He only received two part-time offers, one at a retail store, and another at a small business. 'Our culture doesn't encourage us to stand out,' Chen said. 'Indian students are way more proactive. They'll call companies directly. That sounds crazy to me.' He added that many Chinese students are unfamiliar with UK job platforms like LinkedIn. 'They (Indians) know how to use it and have polished CVs. Meanwhile, we come from a system where that stuff doesn't even exist.' Emily Lu, a London-based headhunter who supports Chinese clients, told SCMP: 'Chinese graduates hesitate to reach out to employers, don't use LinkedIn effectively, and miss out on networking opportunities.' Lu said the Chinese education system is partly responsible. 'They're smart and capable, but they need direction. At home, teachers guide them every step of the way. Here, that's not how things work.' A 2024 study by the UK's Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), cited by SCMP, found that Chinese students in Britain often struggle with spoken English and digital tools. On average, they scored 6.1 in the IELTS speaking test lower than students from most other countries. The report also noted that many Chinese students stick to small social groups and avoid university career services. Only 21 per cent had used such services, and just 2 per cent said the help was useful in finding work. The number of Chinese graduates returning home after study is rising from 73 per cent in 2019 to 84 per cent in 2023. Jessica Deng, a graduate from the University of Southampton, told SCMP she finally found a job in early years education after applying to over 300 positions. 'In a country where even locals are struggling to find jobs, it's hard to expect international students to have equal opportunities,' she said. Deng said visa uncertainty puts off many employers. 'If you're on a short-term post-study work visa, it's not so simple,' she said. The HEPI report urged universities to do more to help Chinese students adapt, including by offering better career advice and opportunities to build cross-cultural networks. Some students, it said, feel they are treated more as 'revenue sources' than as full members of the campus community.
