Not that complicated: 2 days Sprint, 2 days Allround but usually not in the same place in the same weekend. Sprint is 2x500 and 2x1000. Allround is 500, 1500, 3k, 5k for women and 500, 1500, 5k and 10k for men. Skaters earn points per distance. Most points win. (And yes, medals per distance too)

To celebrate International Women’s Day, BusinessEurope wants a two year delay of the Pay Transparency Directive…

Because businesses are not ready even though they’ve known about the EUPTD for 3 years.

And they added some ideas for further restrictions too.

How’s that for supporting women? #iwd

Global Payroll Is Becoming Something More Last week in Prague, 324 people from 214 businesses across 29 countries representing 21M people gathered for ADP’s ReThink. This was a working conference, and I enjoyed that aspect of it very much.

Everything I took away from ADP’s ReThink conference in Prague: a lot of payroll and of course AI.

Prominent economists, including from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan Chase, calculate that the AI buildup was directly responsible not for 92 percent or 39 percent of gains to the U.S. economy in 2025, but as little as zero.

β€œIt was a very intuitive story,” said Joseph Briggs, who jointly leads global economics investment research at Goldman Sachs. β€œThat maybe prevented or limited the need to actually dig deeper into what was happening.”

Briggs and his Goldman Sachs colleagues recently said that investment spending on AI made β€œbasically zero” difference in U.S. economic growth last year.

It’s clear that the huge spending on AI is adding to the U.S. economy, but the available economic data doesn’t neatly capture its effects. The debating economists and the slippery data suggest that if the technology does start to reshape the economy, it may be challenging to detect and clearly measure.

It became conventional wisdom that the massive AI build-out was propping up the U.S. economy last year.

Nothing is that simple.

Some prominent economists are saying AI investment had "basically zero" impact to economic growth in 2025.

Europe has faced withering attacks from U.S. President Donald Trump and tirades from X owner Elon Musk.

But pro-EU memes are flowing thicker and faster than ever online.

Men can have a pay gap too!

Are you surprised? Don’t be!

The gender pay gap works both ways. I explain in my new article.

Completely agree. At a certain point you’re out of room to grow and if you want to further develop, the only option is going somewhere else.
