Kenya HR Pros & Affected Workers - Redundancy - Return - 2026 Payroll

After wrapping up a recent podcast episode, I handed Sarah her guest gift, a simple, custom notebook. As she received it, something struck me deeply. While I cannot fully compensate my guests for their invaluable time, this notebook is a profound gesture of my gratitude. It represents a shared commitment to building a community, sharing raw truths and dropping expertise that help mid-career professionals thrive. Every single person who shows up behind my microphones gets a piece of that gratitude.😊 Now, I am buidling conversations for my next episodes and I need you to help me find the right voices. I am looking for experts or individuals with lived experience to dive into three incredibly heavy, yet critical topics for our next sessions: 🎙️ Who We Are Looking For: 1. Navigating Redundancy: Someone who has personally survived a corporate layoff or an HR expert who guides professionals through the emotional and structural reality of rebuilding after their position is eliminated. 2. The Transition Back: A professional who has recently navigated returning to the workplace after an extended maternity leave or a sabbatical. 3. The Mid-Year Payslip Shock: A payroll, tax, or HR expert ready to break down the reality of surviving the 2026 deductions (SHIF scaling, tiered NSSF caps, and the Housing Levy realities). If you are a subeject matter expert in these areas or know someone whose voice needs to be heard on these topics, please tag them below or slide into my DMs. There is a seat at the table, a highly engaged audience waiting and yes, your notebook is already waiting for you❤️ #CareersWithNellie #CareerGrowth #WorkplaceDynamics #KenyaHR #MidCareer

CA Veterans Separated for Gender Dysphoria - Benefits Access

California journalist looking for perspectives Hi MilitaryTrans community! My name is Kate and I'm a politics reporter with the news outlet CalMatters.

I'm hoping to speak with Californians who may be struggling with employment, housing, or receiving benefits following separation, or who are worried about their future if they are involuntarily separated.

HENRYs - Paying for College & ROI

Almost eight years separate the person in these two pictures, but she is SO happy to be back! I'm thrilled to be returning to Bloomberg News as a personal finance reporter on the Money team!I’ll be tracking the money habits of a group of readers who often fall through the cracks in most personal finance content: the HENRYs, or high earners who are not rich yet. This group already knows the basics, but they're seeking to take their finances to the next level at a time when rising housing, college, health care and child care costs are pricing them out of the lives they expected. Simply put, in this economy, it has never been more complicated to be middle class. A core focus area for me will be also how families are paying for and extracting value from college — what it really costs over time and how they’re seeking to get a good return on their investment amid massive technological and AI disruption. I've already learned so much from my new team since they launched this expanded global news initiative on June 1! Here are a few of my recent favorites: 1) Josyana Joshua on how desperate brides are turning to Etsy witches as a hedge against a $100,000 wedding going wrong: https://lnkd.in/gVPCxR3A 2) Suzanne Woolley on the next AI reckoning, and how it could soon be coming for wealth managers: https://lnkd.in/giYRXgZ2 3) Paulina Cachero on why all-inclusive resorts are all the rage this summer after the Iran war lifted oil and travel prices: https://lnkd.in/g6cuYZ7V Honorable mention to this new tool, which revealed to me that I may have the wrong premium credit card in my wallet! https://lnkd.in/gJu6VCgN On a personal level, I have to pinch myself! I’ve wanted to come back to Bloomberg since my internship ended in the fall of 2018. Case in point: Just earlier this year, on a girls trip to London with my mom, I forced her to walk by the fancy European headquarters on Queen Victoria Street with me, so I could gawk at it from afar. Subscribe to Bloomberg Money's newsletter (from the incomparable Adam Auriemma), catch our weekly show on Bloomberg Television every Friday at noon and follow the team's work at bloomberg.com/money! And in the meantime, I’d love to hear from you! Have a wonky money habit? Doing something interesting with your portfolio? Rethinking a major milestone, like homeownership, college or marriage? Let me know in the comments or drop me a line! Everyone has an important story! My DMs and inbox are always open: [email redacted].

Housing Association CEOs in England - Regulation Reform & New Models

What should the future of economic regulation look like for the social housing sector? Big news today as the Regulator of Social Housing in England publishes its early thinking. This comes at a time when the government is pushing to deliver many more homes - and the plan should be seen in the context of this and the growing scale and complexity of the sector since the last review. Full details in the story, but the regulator argues that while its economic regulation has been successful over the last decade "it now needs to change so that it can help the sector meet the challenges of today and the future". Perhaps the key line is "we want the regulatory framework to support the provision of new homes wherever possible, including through innovative routes". It says "we want to hear about ideas for new models, and how we can encourage good new social landlords". Make no mistake, the regulator is discussing potentially significant shifts here, particularly for a sector that has sold itself on its solidity. As the document states: "we could choose to be more permissive in our regulation and allow for a higher likelihood of financial failure and loss of homes. Doing this might enable more investment in more homes but we and all our stakeholders would need to be clear-eyed about the potential consequences. This includes the possibility that our existing regulatory tools would not be able to prevent or mitigate financial failure, loss to creditors, and loss of homes in higher-risk financing models". (Important to stress that there is a strong emphasis on protecting tenants and discussion about what "failing safely" looks like too) Important debate which will influence the future shape and scale of the sector. Also has much to say about how prescriptive or otherwise the regulator might be when it comes to the independence and autonomy of landlords. On this it says: "We could also set out guidance on the types of organisational structures that we consider deliver enough independence and autonomy and which do not. Alternatively, we could set high-level outcomes and give landlords the freedom to show how they are delivering these outcomes." Regulator after feedback, and important to state this "early thinking" ahead of consultation on revised economic standards in 2027. Regulator is after wider discussion and very interested in early thoughts on what this means and what you will be feeding into the consultation.

Palisades & Eaton Residents - 18-Month Rebuild Progress

Palisades & Eaton residents: 18 months in, how has the rebuild actually gone for you? We're coming up on 18 months since the January 2025 fires. The headline numbers tell one story: over 6,600 rebuild applications filed, 3,000+ permits issued in the Palisades and Eaton burn areas, the first permits out in \~57 days (twice as fast as Camp/Woolsey). But only dozens of homes have actually been completed, with construction underway on roughly 1,400 more. Photo I took in the palisades. All that was left is the Chimney :-\( Numbers only go so far though. I'd love to hear from people who lived through it: If you're rebuilding, where are you in the process: design, permits, framing, finishing? What's taken longer than expected? How are you handling insurance? Did your carrier non-renew, did you end up on the FAIR Plan, and how is that affecting the budget? For those who chose to sell instead of rebuild — what tipped the decision? Curious what the on-the-ground experience actually looks like vs. the citywide stats. Sources: https://calmatters.org/housing/2026/01/la-fires-rebuild-permitting/ https://thedailyeconomy.org/article/with-fewer-than-16-homes-rebuilt-in-a-year-whats-blocking-las-fire-recovery/

HLP Lawyers & Human Rights Advocates in Syria - Absentee Deadlock

8 months ago, I set out to answer a critical, deeply challenging question: How do we achieve true transitional justice and durable solutions for displacement in a post-transition Syria? After months of intensive legal analysis, field tracking, and engaging with experts, the data points to a massive administrative deadlock that the international community is largely overlooking. We cannot separate the future of refugee returns, asylum protections, and Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights from the unresolved crisis of the missing and forcibly disappeared. Through this research, I’ve mapped out how the "Absentee Deadlock" freezes inheritance pathways, strips families of their homes, and leaves returning populations vulnerable to immediate secondary displacement. True stabilization is impossible when the legal owner of a property is stuck in a legal limbo. To bridge this gap, my upcoming publication outlines concrete policy frameworks, such as Interim Title Management and Possessory Use Certificates, drawing from vital historical precedents like post-WWII Europe, Bosnia, and Colombia. As a lawyer and practitioner deeply rooted in this field, I am now opening the floor to my international network. I want to hear from fellow researchers, legal experts, and human rights advocates worldwide. How can we better safeguard these rights, protect families, and ensure non-refoulement is structurally guaranteed? If you are working on Syrian displacement, HLP, or transitional justice, let’s connect. I am actively seeking inputs, case studies, and field insights to enrich this publication. 📩 Drop your thoughts below or reach out directly at [email redacted] . Let’s collaborate to turn analysis into actionable protection frameworks. #TransitionalJustice #HumanRights #Syria #RefugeeResponse #HLPRights #InternationalLaw #EnforcedDisappearances #HumanitarianResponse #LegalProtection #Advocacy

Aging Parents of Autistic Adults in Baton Rouge - Housing Crisis

Linda is 68. Her son Daniel is 38. He's lived with her since he aged out of the school system seventeen years ago. She's not asking for sympathy. She's asking for a plan. And the system, so far, hasn't had one. This is Issue 6 of NeuroPulse — and it's the one I've been building toward since we started this series. We've written about Marcus at the transition cliff. Jordan on the other side of it. Camille doing the math on whether to stay in direct support work. Rachel waiting 14 months for a diagnosis that opened no doors automatically. This issue is about what happens decades later, when the parents who filled every gap the system left are no longer able to fill them. The numbers behind Linda's situation are stark: → 87% of autistic young adults live with a parent at some point after high school — vs. 21% of their peers → 14,500+ people are on Louisiana's waiver registry waiting for disability services → In Baton Rouge, the average wait for a general housing voucher is 51 months. The waitlist is currently closed. → Disability-specific housing designed for neurodivergent adults doesn't exist in this city in any organized form The only autism-specific housing in Louisiana was built in Lake Charles — by families who organized it themselves because nothing else existed anywhere in the state. Baton Rouge is in the middle of a major development period. Decisions being made right now will shape this city for the next 50 years. The question of where neurodivergent adults will live is almost never part of that conversation. It needs to be. https://shorturl.at/cKPbR If you're an aging parent asking Linda's question — or if you know one — I want to hear from you. Your experience is the evidence that changes what gets built. The CAAN Provider Summit is September 30. The State of Neurodiversity Conference is October 1. If you work in housing, disability services, or urban planning in the Capital Area, we want you at the table. [email redacted] #AdvancingConnections #CAANBR #AutismAcceptance

#journorequest Does anyone know anybody who'd be able to talk to me about either of these topics? 1.

People who feel the Renters Right Act has negatively impacted them, especially due to contracts changing - e.g., they were meant to move out end of May but have now had to give 8 weeks notice so will be delayed in moving!

CA CRD Complainants & Former Staff - Case Closures & ADA Failures

Looking for other complainants and former employees of the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) Looking for other complainants and former employees of the California Civil Rights Department (CRD) I'm a disabled tenant who filed a housing discrimination complaint with the California Civil Rights Department. What started as a housing case has turned into something bigger: a documented pattern of case closures, ADA accommodation failures, and procedural misconduct inside the agency itself. In my case, an approved ADA accommodation for supervisor oversight was quietly removed from the record. A second approved accommodation for written-only communication was ignored. My case was closed, reopened after the Appeals Unit found sufficient evidence, then closed again under shifting rationales. Appeal rights were granted in writing, then retracted, then the retraction itself was contradicted by another email days later. Multiple staff gave conflicting accounts of who was even investigating the case. I've since connected with other complainants who describe similar experiences. Same machinery. Same patterns. Same closures that look nothing like good faith. We're building a shared record. I'm looking to hear from; 1. Current or former CRD complainants whose cases were closed, mishandled, or where accommodations were denied, ignored, or removed from the record 2. Former CRD employees are willing to speak about internal practices around case closures, ADA accommodations, investigator conduct, or appeals 3. Anyone with documentation of similar patterns, even partial This work is connecting with credentialed forensic analysis of institutional misconduct, tenants' rights advocacy organizations, and dramatized docuseries already in development. Your story can be added to the record, kept confidential, or amplified depending on what you're comfortable with. DM me if you'd rather not post publicly. Documentation matters. Patterns matter. One closed case is a misunderstanding. A coordinated record is something else.

Recent Home Buyers With 6%+ Mortgages - Why You Bought

Hi, LinkedIn! I’m working on a piece for Bankrate that feels incredibly important right now and I could use a little help from my network. We all know the headlines: mortgage rates are hovering above 6% and the housing market feels completely frozen. But the reality is, life doesn't stop just because the Federal Reserve changes its mind or oil prices leap up. People are still buying homes every single day. I’m looking to interview everyday buyers who said, "Mortgage rates are high, but we’re doing this anyway." Did a return to office mandate make you relocate? Were you weary of rent hikes? Or maybe looking to plant more permanent roots in your community? Planning to grow your family and need more bedrooms? Whatever the reason, I want to know why you took the plunge. If you bought a home recently at 6%+ rate and are open to a quick 15-minute chat about your experience, I would love to hear from you. Drop me a DM or a comment with 1. where you bought and what your rate looks like 2. the moment you realized that waiting to buy was no longer an option for you. Or, if you know someone who fits this bill, feel free to tag them, share this post or send them my way! Thanks!
