13 signs that you’re underpaid

    Feeling like you might be underpaid can be one of the most disheartening aspects of work. "It stands to reason, because for many, compensation is a concrete litmus test of how well you're performing and progressing on the job — and how highly you're valued," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert and the author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job." According to a 2014 survey from Glassdoor.com, a whopping 39% of employees believed that they were not receiving fair pay in their current job. But it's hard for them to be sure. "The topic of employees' salaries is well guarded by most companies, so it's not always easy to figure out how your pay compares to your colleagues'," says Taylor. "If you're willing t...

Why I Love Winter

    I hate winter season. The mornings are the worst. Getting out of the warm bed is a challenge by itself. The harsh, icy water and the bone shattering cold air doesn't make life easier for anyone. The dense fog, which is adamant, refuses to go away till midday, creating a nuisance of traffic. As it is apparent, winter does not charm me. But there is one exception. The only reason winter is worth waiting for, in my opinion, is pitha. I hate winter season. But I love pitha. It is hard for a Bangladeshi not to. The fascination with pitha has existed among Bengalis for centuries and is now probably inscribed in our genes! Niaz Zaman in her book 'Bosha Bhat to Biriyani: The Legacy of Bangladeshi Cuisine' mentions a reference to pitha in the seventeenth century Mymensingh balla...

This is officially the WORST place to live in the UK where you should escape to instead: Can you guess where it is

    Bradford residents should pack their bags and move 238 miles north. It's just been named the worst town in the UK, according to a quality of life index. Instead, if you want to have a nice house and a good job, then it’s time to move to Edinburgh. The Scottish capital has been crowned best place to live in the UK. It has the lowest crime rate in the UK, cheap energy bills and disposable household income of £20,083 a year. Plus, the average broadband download speed is a racy 30Mbs. By contrast, Northern Ireland and England have some of the grimmest towns around. The study compared different factors including salaries, the cost of shopping and fuel, working hours, life expectancy and hours of sunshine. Ann Robinson, from uSwitch, which compiled the index, said: “Edinburgh ha...

Stressed, Tired, Rushed: A Portrait of the Modern Family

    Jakub Zielkiewicz, Aimee Barnes and their 15-month-old son, Roman, at their home in Sacramento. “You basically just always feel like you’re doing a horrible job at everything,” Ms. Barnes said. Children are much more likely than not to grow up in a household in which their parents work, and in nearly half of all two-parent families today, both parents work full time, a sharp increase from previous decades. What hasn’t changed: the difficulty of balancing it all. Working parents say they feel stressed, tired, rushed and short on quality time with their children, friends, partners or hobbies, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The survey found something of a stress gap by race and education. College-educated parents and white parents were significantly more likel...

Stress at work: 8 signs you are suffering

    A little bit of stress at work is good for you, but there is absolutely no health benefit to being too stressed at work. That's the view of Joan Kingsley, a consultant clinical and organisational therapist. Kingsley spent 25 years researching workplace psychology and co-authored a book, 'The Fear-free Organization: Vital Insights from Neuroscience to Transform Your Business Culture'. She has come up with eight signs that you are suffering from stress at work, and what to do about it. "You have to think about what kind of person you are and if you normally get stressed. For instance, I work well under pressure. If I have a deadline, I work best when the deadline is approaching. Some people need to plan more ahead of time," Kingsley said.

Avocado Prices Are Set To Rise: This Is Not A Drill

    Brace yourselves fellow avocado fans, we have some rather distressing news. According to a new report in trade magazine The Grocer, the price of avocados in set to soar due to high demand and lack of supply. The report states that sales of avocados are up by as much as 25% since last year in the UK. At the same time, avocado producers in the Mediterranean have been hit by El Nino - the weather pattern that causes adverse conditions such as colder winters - which has made production more difficult. Sandra Kajda, category buyer for fruit and vegetable supplier Reynolds, told the magazine the poor weather could cause production to fall by 30% this year, which will only increase prices further. She added that high demand for avocados was down to the fact that the fruit has bec...

Vikas Jain, fitness and health connoisseur at Anytime Fitness, has shared a list of five super food that can actually make a difference to our body system.
