SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
About 1 in 4 men say they’ve cried after a performance review. A 2020 study of 1,500 office workers found annual reviews may do more harm than good, with many employees and managers calling them a waste of time. Nearly 60% said reviews don’t help them grow, and managers spend an average of 17 hours completing them. Reviews can also hurt morale, fueling competition, favoritism concerns, and stress. Some workers even quit or job hunt after a bad review. So, it’s no surprise more companies are starting to ditch yearly reviews altogether.

Hulk Hogan said he knows “where the bodies are buried” in his final interview. Hogan, who died in July 2025, gave his last interview for an upcoming Netflix docuseries called “Hulk Hogan: Real American”, announced on Monday. In the trailer, Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, tells the camera: “In wrestling, you should be remembered for all the wars and everything you’ve done. Some people hate me, but after I’m gone, I think people don’t know the truth. Who was this guy, really?” The 4-part series begins streaming April 22. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/2uzs9ypf

OF THE DAY
It turns out, “spring fatigue” may be all in your head. Surveys show that millions say they experience it every year. In German-speaking countries there’s even a name for it — Frühjahrsmüdigkeit, or “spring fatigue.” But a year-long study of 418 adults in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria found no real seasonal change in fatigue, sleepiness, or sleep quality. People who believed they suffered from spring fatigue actually felt approximately as tired in March as they did in July or January. Swiss researchers think psychology may be the real cause: heavy media coverage and a familiar label may prime people to notice normal tiredness more in spring. That said, remember this: allergies, low vitamin D, or daylight-saving time changes can still cause genuine fatigue for some people.
It’s that question that we all ask…and answer multiple times every day, without even thinking about it…and according to an expert, it could quietly sabotage a potential connection. Public speaking coach Stuart Fedderson says that casually asking “How are you?” is a “boring default” that leads to meaningless exchanges. In addition, the communication expert says that people rarely want a real answer to the question – and rarely give one. Instead, he recommends asking open-ended “what” questions that spark storytelling, such as asking about the best part of someone’s day. Fedderson also promotes his ACT method: Authenticity, Connection, and Topic, to connect you to another person. And research backs him up: studies show that thoughtful follow-up questions make people seem more likable and confident, improve workplace interactions, and even boost connection on dates.

They say it’s perfect for burgers, eggs, nuggets, or even dipping sauces. It taps into the growing trend of spicy foods in everyday meals. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/wj2ta7p3
