"Return-to-past" mandates: If you want to do nothing for your company's bottom line but make your employees unhappy, then issue a return-to-office mandate. Study of 457 S&P firms finds no financial boost in firms w/ RTO mandates compared to firms without a mandate.

Someone who used to work for me evidently fell prey to an employment scam. She has been looking for work and ended up falling for a scam based on a fake job placement service that advertised fake jobs.

If you're looking for work, please read the attached article from the Federal Trade Commission. Even if you're not looking for work, it doesn't hurt to read it so you can spread the word to those who are.

Job Scams

Scammers advertise jobs the same way honest employers do — online (in ads, on job sites, and social media), in newspapers, and sometimes on TV and radio. They promise you a job, but what they want is your money and your personal information. Here are some examples of jobs scams and advice on how to avoid them.
