Flexibility through freelancing
By Salma Altantawy, Editor at LinkedIn News
Flexible work solutions are increasingly in demand as younger professionals enter the workforce. A report by Michael Page Middle East Recruitment Agency shows that 66% of survey respondents are prioritizing remote options while they look for a job in the UAE. Aiming for more flexibility, some professionals opt for taking on freelance jobs, which separates professionals' identity from an organization, Azeem Zainulbhai, co-founder of a flexible talent consultancy told Arab News. “This has reduced the attractiveness of permanent employment and the lifetime loyalty often given by employees among older generations,” he added.

CNN's Allison covers the remote worker sector. Not all are well suited for it, be it lack of skills, lack of discipline, lack of focus, and and so on.. Sometimes both owner/manager and their staff need to check in that both and all parties are on the same page. I've managed media firms, a restaurant (with a home delivery driver..who I had to fire on the second shift) and a small team of PPV and Ethnic Channel Pay TV guns, who came from door to door to an office based outbound call scenario. All situations have their own unique challenges. Both parties need to want it to work in order for it to, in my experience. These days my main I.T guy is right on the money 90% of the time, and I haven't needed to see him in person in the office for months. He earned my trust and respect over the months which turned into years. Teamwork and the desire to do better and keep focused on the business goals while adapting to the regular changes in the business landscape. Success. #cnn #work #workplace #remotework #remoteworkers #careers #management #workenvironment #training #multiskilled #multiskilling #success #media
Arabian Business on remote working. With some of my own commentary on sports, culture, business, property and the like re the UAE, sometimes it feels like I'm remote working in a remote news media office. I'm not on the payrol of Arabian Business for the record and to be clear, but from my office I get to cover the world's news and affairs, currently based in Australia! The world is your oyster, now on another level with the internet, social media et al. Commentary via our friends via the LinkedIn platform! PS: my post sparked by recent and excellent coverage of the WWE (wrestling promotion) coverage by Arabian Business. #arabianbusiness #ab #uae #uaebusiness #uaebusinesses #remote #remoteworking #work #careers #workspace #employment #trends #culture #balance #flexibleworkspace #respect #performance #marketing #culture #b2b #b2c #social #socialmedia #world #agency #business #media

Biden Docs Scandal Moving Election Odds
Political betting markets are moving as the documents scandal surrounding President Joe Biden escalates.
After further classified documents were found at Biden’s home, in addition to the appointment of a new Special Prosecutor to investigate, the President’s recent forward moves in the betting markets are being rapidly reversed. Here’s the latest from BetOnline.ag:
2024 Election Odds Movements
RON DESANTIS +175 (PREVIOUSLY +165)
JOE BIDEN +300 (PREVIOUSLY +250)
DONALD TRUMP +500 (PREVIOUSLY +600)
KAMALA HARRIS +1200 (PREVIOUSLY +1400)
GAVIN NEWSOM +1600 (PREVIOUSLY +2000)
GRETCHEN WHITMER +2500 (PREVIOUSLY +4000)
PETE BUTTIGIEG +2800 (PREVIOUSLY +3500)
Democratic Nominee Odds Movements
JOE BIDEN -200 (PREVIOUSLY -300)
KAMALA HARRIS +450 (PREVIOUSLY +550)
GAVIN NEWSOM +700 (PREVIOUSLY +800)
PETE BUTTIGIEG +1200 (PREVIOUSLY +1600)
GRETCHEN WHITMER +1200 (PREVIOUSLY +2000)
Republican Nominee Odds Movements
RON DE SANTIS -120 (PREVIOUSLY -150)
DONALD TRUMP +200 (PREVIOUSLY +230)
“While Biden remains very much the man to beat on the Democrat side, because it is unlikely that any heavyweight challenger would primary him, this scandal must cast doubt on his ability to last the distance,” BetOnline political analyst Paul Krishnamurty said. “Republican committees in the House are guaranteed to investigate these classified documents, in addition to Hunter Biden’s activities, to the deepest possible extent.
“Regardless of whether any legal threat actually materializes, the process seems likely to damage the Biden brand. There is a long way to go before primary season and the chances have definitely risen that Biden – who it is assumed was planning to run – will think again. Also, in expectation of his approval ratings taking a hit, we’ve adjusted our end of month odds accordingly.
“Regarding Donald Trump’s own legal peril for improperly taking classified documents, we’ve seen money across the industry for him since this story broke on Monday night. His odds for both the nomination and presidency have shortened”
BIDEN APPROVAL RATING ON JAN 31 (According to FiveThirtyEight)
45% OR HIGHER +1200
44.0-44.99% +350
43.0- 43.99% +225
42.0- 42.99% +225
41.0- 41.99% +500
40.0- 40.99% +1200
UNDER 40% +2000

Vince McMahon Takes Actions in Support of Plan for WWE to Undertake a Review of Strategic Alternatives and Capture Unique Opportunity to Maximize Long-term Value for All Shareholders
Submits written consent to WWE Board electing himself and Company veterans George Barrios and Michelle Wilson as Directors
Actions are necessary to ensure McMahon's full participation in upcoming media rights negotiations and review of strategic alternatives
GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Vince McMahon, the founder and controlling shareholder of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. ("WWE" or the "Company") (NYSE: WWE), announced today that he has taken necessary actions to position the Company to capitalize on a unique opportunity to maximize long-term value for all WWE shareholders. The actions, communicated to WWE's Board of Directors today via written consent, include the election to the Board of Mr. McMahon, as well as Michelle Wilson and George Barrios – former WWE Co-Presidents and Board members, and currently the Co-Founders and Co-CEOs of Isos Capital Management – and the requisite removal from the Board of three directors. Mr. McMahon expects to assume the role of Executive Chairman of the Board.
Mr. McMahon's new role will enable unified decision making through the Company's upcoming media rights negotiations and a parallel full review of the Company's strategic alternatives, which Mr. McMahon believes is the right course of action and in the best interests of WWE and WWE shareholders amidst the current dynamics in the media and entertainment industry. As Mr. McMahon has communicated to the Board, he believes there is a narrow window of opportunity to create significant value for all shareholders and that to do so, the strategic alternatives review must occur in tandem with the media rights negotiations. He also expressed to the Board that he believes these two initiatives require Mr. McMahon's direct participation, leadership, and support as controlling shareholder.
"WWE is entering a critical juncture in its history with the upcoming media rights negotiations coinciding with increased industry-wide demand for quality content and live events and with more companies seeking to own the intellectual property on their platforms," said Mr. McMahon. "The only way for WWE to fully capitalize on this opportunity is for me to return as Executive Chairman and support the management team in the negotiations for our media rights and to combine that with a review of strategic alternatives. My return will allow WWE, as well as any transaction counterparties, to engage in these processes knowing they will have the support of the controlling shareholder."
Prior to delivering written consent, Mr. McMahon sent two separate letters to the Board in late December in which he expressed the urgency of his return to the Company as Executive Chairman and his desire to work collaboratively with the Board and management team. Following conversations with representatives of the Company both before and after Mr. McMahon's most recent letter on December 31, Mr. McMahon determined, consistent with his rights as controlling shareholder, that the steps announced today are necessary to maximize value for all WWE shareholders.
Mr. McMahon said, "Ms. Wilson and Mr. Barrios are highly qualified directors whose professional experience positions them well to help the Company achieve the best possible outcomes in both initiatives. As former WWE Co-Presidents and Board members, they are intimately familiar with industry dynamics and the organization's operations and have helped guide the Company through past successful media rights negotiations. I look forward to working closely again with Michelle and George – as well as the Company's remaining directors and management team, who have my full support and confidence. WWE has an exceptional management team in place, and I do not intend for my return to have any impact on their roles, duties, or responsibilities."
In conjunction with the changes to WWE's Board, Mr. McMahon's written consent also includes certain amendments to the Company's bylaws to ensure that WWE's corporate governance continues to properly enable and support shareholder rights. These changes will be detailed in a Schedule 13D amendment to be filed by Mr. McMahon and a Form 8-K to be filed by the Company in the coming days.
No assurances can be given regarding the outcome or timing of the review process. Mr. McMahon does not intend to comment further until the process has concluded or Mr. McMahon has otherwise determined that further disclosure is appropriate or required.
