Quiet Hiring
- Quiet hiring is when companies give employees more work for the same pay.
- This often happens after layoffs, when remaining employees absorb extra tasks.
Negotiate or Leave
- If your workload increases significantly due to quiet hiring, consider your options.
- You could negotiate a raise or look for new opportunities in a better market.
New SEC Rules
- The SEC proposes new rules that could make it easier for Limited Partners (LPs) to sue Venture Capitalists (VCs).
- These rules expand liability to simple negligence rather than just gross negligence.
