What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 734 & BENKYO RADIO 734. As you may know, I am not on great terms with Intel Corp because I haven’t received a paycheck in over 4 years. They continue to use docusigns with my signatures to keep their stock prices up, without offering me a salary or contracting position. I had no choice but to alert the authorities. Intel Corp’s Quantum Computing division is still very important, and I hope that whoever the next CEO is makes the right decisions. While I did not get paid (and hope that I do eventually), I am going to make sure that future OSU Alumni will get paid, when the new Intel Corp HQ in Licking County, Ohio is built in 2025.

[Medium] Katie Bishop wrote in BBC about an employee named Cat describing her struggle with remote work. It is painful to read Cat's words, "Working alone all day every day, particularly when my partner is in the office, is tough. Sometimes, I won't see anyone all day, which can be very lonely. I've found that instead of taking breaks to chat with people in my office, I pick up my phone. All the extra screen time has had a negative impact on my well-being."
