Dear Amy: I am a supervisor of a small section at the company I work for. My main assistant is a very intelligent and valued employee.The problem? She takes joy in pointing out other people’s errors — even the most minor things, including mine.None of us can claim to be perfect, and this results in co-workers feeling put down and embarrassed.What can I tactfully say to her to get her to stop doing this? I don’t want to lose her as an employee.– Frustrated SupervisorDear Frustrated: During a private performance review, you will have to point out this unfortunate practice.Tell her that she is a valued employee. Say, “I’m going to be frank about an area where you need to improve. You have a tendency to point out your coworker’s errors directly to them. That’s not how we operate here. I encourage people to check their own work, recognize and correct their errors, and if they don’t, I work with them to improve.”This might be an opportunity to encourage your assistant to take ...

HANGZHOU, China (AP) — China is simply relentless in its domination of the Asian Games.At the games five years ago in Jakarta, Indonesia, the country won 132 gold medals and 287 medals overall.

Its overall total stood at 255, just short of the 287 mark set in 2018.Host nations typically get a “home field” bounce when hosting the Olympics or a large multi-sport event like the Asian Games.ROLLER SKATINGSkater Jung Cheolwon crossed the line in Monday’s 3,000-meter relay and began to celebrate thinking he’d won the gold medal for South Korea.But he was shocked when the scoreboard showed South Korea had finished second to Taiwan, which clocked 4 minutes, 05.692 seconds.

Biden asegura a Ucrania el apoyo de EEUU pese a la oposición del ala trumpista

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 12:46:17 GMT

WASHINGTON DC – El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, aseguró el domingo a los “aliados estadounidenses y al pueblo de Ucrania” que pueden contar con el apoyo de su país al señalar que cuentan con “la gran mayoría de ambos partidos” en el Congreso para mantener esa ayuda, pese a la oposición del ala trumpista.Estados Unidos logró el sábado 45 días más de financiación, pero ahora debe zanjar los retos de mantener la ayuda a Ucrania y otros sobre inmigración, con una oposición del ala más radical en la Cámara Baja aún más enfurecida al fracasar en unas demandas que estaban llevando al cierre del Gobierno.Con la aprobación de esa prórroga del presupuesto en el Congreso, la urgencia ahora es mantener la ayuda a Kiev, un compromiso de la Casa Blanca y la mayoría republicana, en momentos en que los recursos comienzan a agotarse. El representante Matt Gaetz dice que tomará medidas para destituir a Kevin McCarthy esta semana ...

BEIJING (AP) — Third-ranked Daniil Medvedev overcame a second-set stumble to beat Frenchman Ugo Humbert 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 and advance to the semifinals of the China Open on Monday. The Russian struggled to find his usual fluid game in the first two sets but sprung to life in the third set to shake off the 36th-ranked Humbert and progress to his 10th semifinal of the year.“I’m kind of happy that I managed to raise my level in important moments, except a game in the second set,” Medvedev said. “It’s great that I managed to still find in this tough match these moments of consistency, which is enough to win. That’s what you have to do.”The Russian will next face either eighth-seeded Alexander Zverev or Nicolas Jarry, who play later Monday. Second-ranked, and top-seeded, Carlos Alcaraz plays his quarterfinal match against seventh-seeded Casper Ruud in a night match.Making her first appearance at the China Open, second-ranked Iga Swiatek advanced to the second round with a 6-4, 6-3 vict...

(CNN) — Es posible que Estados Unidos haya evitado un cierre del Gobierno este sábado, pero la falta de fondos adicionales para Ucrania en el proyecto de ley de gastos ha dejado nerviosos a algunos residentes de la nación devastada por la guerra.Aunque el presidente de Estados Unidos Joe Biden elogió el acuerdo alcanzado por los legisladores, también reconoció la falta de nuevos fondos para Ucrania y prometió que Washington “no se alejará” de Kyiv. Mientras tanto, un grupo bipartidista de líderes en el Senado de Estados Unidos también prometió votar sobre más ayuda para Ucrania.Para algunos en Kyiv, la capital de Ucrania, el drama que ha envuelto al Congreso durante la semana pasada es poco más que ruido mientras la guerra continúa.“Estos son juegos internos estadounidenses. Y Ucrania es rehén de esta discusión: esta guerra interna”, dijo a CNN el militar ucraniano Volodymyr Kostiak este domingo, un feriado nacional que marca el Día de los Defensores para honrar a los veterano...
