The new survey of 2,000 office workers in the US found a lot of frustration in the workplace, with 48% agreeing that following up, sending reminders, responding and drafting new emails is the most irritating task in their day-to-day duties. Other top hair-pulling moments during their workdays include paperwork, hosting or sitting in on meetings, speaking with managers and team members, and helping customers.

Scientists
have developed a new “smart” pacifier for newborn babies. A team
at Washington State University says their wireless, bioelectronic
dummy can monitor the health of babies born prematurely and is
non-invasive. That means newborn babies won’t have to undergo
twice-daily blood draws to measure their electrolyte levels. The
smart pacifier will do that automatically as they use it.

A London woman has been awarded £74,000 (US$93,000) after not being invited out for drinks with her co-workers. 51-year-old casino worker Rita Leher says she was left feeling “shunned” after being the only employee who wasn’t asked to go to a cocktail bar after work. An employment tribunal agreed that the exclusion was a “detriment at work” as she would “lose the opportunity to bond with colleagues”. It was also found that she was discriminated against after being denied training courses, which were granted to younger employees. The tribunal noted that after Leher had been uninvited for drinks, she took a period of stress leave to help cope with the exclusion.
