How IHOP’s CEO Got the Last Laugh

Here’s a real-life power move: Julia Stewart was once denied the CEO spot at Applebee’s, so she left, turned IHOP around, and then bought Applebee’s for $2.3 billion—firing her old boss in the process. The big takeaway? Sometimes, the best way to bounce back from rejection is to build your own table—and then buy the whole restaurant. If you’re feeling stuck at work, maybe it’s time to think bigger! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CareerMoves

Manager Demands My New Employer's Name After Resignation! 😳

I recently accepted a much better job offer and decided to resign from Company A, even though I was still in the onboarding process. During my meeting with my manager, I apologized sincerely and was upfront about the base salary of my new offer, but I didn’t mention the name of my new employer. Now, my manager has texted me personally, asking for the name of the company I’m joining. I’ve only met him twice, and honestly, I’m not sure if I can trust him with this information. I want to keep things professional and polite, but I also value my privacy and don’t want to burn any bridges. This situation is making me really anxious. How should I respond without causing any hard feelings? Has anyone else dealt with something like this? I’d really appreciate your advice! 🙏 #WorkplaceDilemma #ResignationAdvice #CareerMoves #JobCareer

Would You Take a Job You Can't Do?

Imagine landing a gig at a hot new tech startup, but you’re told you can’t actually work on the thing they’re famous for. That’s what happened to ex-defence secretary Grant Shapps, who just joined a missile startup—on the condition he steers clear of anything ‘defence’. The real tea? The company’s main product is basically an Iron Dome for the UK. So, is this a clever way to keep things ethical, or just business as usual in the revolving door of politics and startups? #Business #CareerMoves #StartupDrama

Teen Prodigy Swaps Rockets for Wall Street

Imagine landing your dream job at SpaceX at 14, then jumping to Wall Street at 16! That’s Kairan Quazi, who just joined Citadel Securities, a top trading firm. Instead of coding for satellites, he’ll now help move billions in stocks. Why the switch? He says finance gives instant feedback and rewards big ideas fast—think more game, less waiting. For anyone eyeing a career leap, sometimes the fastest lane isn’t in Silicon Valley, but on the trading floor. #Business #Industry #CareerMoves

Why Newell’s Moving Out of Kalamazoo

Heads up if you love brands like Sharpie or Yankee Candle: Newell Brands is packing up its Kalamazoo design center and heading to Atlanta. The big idea? Get their creative team closer to the top bosses and (hopefully) spark more cool products. If you work there, you might get a ticket to Atlanta—or some help finding your next gig. For shoppers, this could mean fresher ideas on store shelves, but it’s a big shakeup for the Michigan crew. #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CareerMoves

Would You Sign a Loyalty Oath for Work?

So, Citigroup is now making junior bankers spill the beans if they’ve accepted a job offer somewhere else—even before they finish training! The idea is to stop talent from jumping ship to cushier gigs, but honestly, it’s giving major trust issues. Some experts say these loyalty oaths are more likely to push young workers away than keep them. Would you stick around if your boss made you sign one? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CareerMoves

Citi Snags JPMorgan Star for Big Money Moves

Guess what? Citi just poached a top dealmaker from JPMorgan to run their stock market deals in North America. Translation: Citi wants a bigger slice of the action when companies go public or sell shares. Why should you care? More competition means banks might hustle harder for business, maybe even sweeten the pot for companies looking to raise cash. Could mean more IPO buzz and investment options for us down the line! #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #CareerMoves
