In a story about the increasing number of Florida workers leaving their jobs every month, Marc Weinstein, clinical professor of global leadership and management, explained that with the pandemic, increase in unemployment and government aid coming to an end, if a company can't find employees now, they're not being competitive.

In an article about how giving negative feedback impacts the person delivering it, Ravi Gajendran, associate professor of global leadership and management, and his co-authors wrote that the impact depended on how empathetic the leaders were. Researchers offered strategies including encouraging more-empathetic leaders to take breaks after giving negative feedback and training less-empathetic leaders on techniques for delivering feedback more compassionately. "High-empathy leaders became less effective at core leadership tasks after giving negative feedback," Gajendran and his co-authors wrote.

In a story looking at the U.S. political and economic landscape of 2022, Craig Austin, assistant teaching professor of marketing and logistics, explained that prices will keep rising due to inflation. Consumer demand hasn't slowed, and the supply chains cannot handle the current volumes, he said. "We never had it at these levels," he said. "You have clogged ports, clogged supply chains. It's going to take a while to work yourself through that."

In a story that looked at credit card debt in Florida, Deanne Butchey, teaching professor of finance, noted that as stimulus money, childcare money and other government packages ended, people will probably finance their way of life through credit cards. "The concern is if you had savings, if you had money from stimulus package or tax credits that was OK, but very quickly, that money is running out. So, unfortunately, people are going to be racking up that credit card debt," she said.

In the story "Why are prices so high? Blame the supply chain – and that's the reason inflation is here to stay," logistics professor Craig Austin wrote that the reasons prices are rising are complex and many. He explained that there's no end to the supply chain problems. Consumer demand was only going to increase through the holiday season and beyond. "Consumers should get used to the higher prices. They're the new normal," he wrote.
