With just a month left before daylight saving time ends, Americans remain in limbo as the Senate weighs ending the twice-yearly clock change. The Senate returned from a five-week recess on Sept. 14 with no vote scheduled on the Sunshine Protection Act that would make daylight saving time permanent. Another recess, meanwhile, is set to begin Oct. 5 and end Nov. 6. Barring congressional action, Americans should still plan to turn their clocks back Nov. 1. While the House has already approved the bill and President Donald Trump is pushing senators to approve it, the legislation's future remains uncertain. 📸:Getty Images 🎨: Alan Nguyen Read more: bit.ly/4zaBUGQ

Are your coworkers "calendar stalking"? 📅🔍 It’s the latest hybrid-work behavior making waves across corporate culture. If you’ve ever hesitated before heading into the office, you’ve probably done it too. Office workers are using a sneaky new habit to decide whether a commute is worth their time. Before stepping out the door, they're firing up Outlook or Google Calendar to answer three critical questions: Who else is actually going to be in the office today? Is my manager or teammate working from home? Am I commuting 45 minutes just to sit in on Zoom all day? With "coffee badging" already reshaping office attendance, calendar stalking is becoming the ultimate pre-commute screening tool. But what does this mean for team productivity, company culture and the future of hybrid mandates? I asked Nick Bloom and Brian Elliott. 👇 Check out the full USA TODAY article here: https://lnkd.in/gGhsTJEv 💬 Have you ever checked your boss' calendars before deciding to commute?

AI-generated posters are everywhere and graphic designers are fed up. More and more small businesses are turning to the technology to churn out social media posts, event flyers and sandwich board signage. But graphic designers who make a living off this type of work say these AI-generated visual assets taking over social media and shop windows are slop.

America may finally have a plan to survive without pennies.   The Treasury Department stopped minting pennies in 2025, under orders from President Donald Trump. Pennies cost more to mint than they were worth. Most Americans found them a nuisance.   But retailers need pennies to make change, and penny shortages vexed cashiers even before production ceased. With the penny tray empty, how can a clerk settle a $9.98 transaction when the customer pays with a ten-dollar bill?  This week, Congress passed a bill that could solve the penny problem. The Common Cents Act, approved by the Senate on Sept. 28, permits retailers to round cash transactions to the nearest five cents when neither buyer nor seller has exact change.   The guidance sounds simple enough, but some states and cities have laws that forbid retailers to “round.” The Common Cents Act would effectively overrule them.  Here's the story, featuring Steve Kenneally of the American Bankers Association, Jeff Lenard of the National Association of Convenience Stores, and Dylan Jeon of the National Retail Federation. https://lnkd.in/eauvEk_8
