The Bedtime Gap
According to a new report, the average couple often has a “bedtime gap” of 80 minutes. That’s the time in between each person going to bed. But couples with fewer bedtime gaps tend to be happier together. That extra “me-time” might be nice for unwinding . . . but the report found that couples with fewer bedtime gaps tend to be happier together. And “very happy” couples go to bed together about four times per week. 71% of couples who are BOTH night owls . . . and 78% of couples who are BOTH early birds . . . say they’re “very happy” in their relationship. That’s compared to 59% of couples with one night owl and one early bird. There was a difference based on age, though. Younger couples find it more important to lessen the bedtime gap, while it matters less to older folks.

Congrats, Your Not Really Fired, But You Gotta Go
Companies are so passive aggressive now. A poll by the site Resume Builder found 38% of companies lay people off instead of firing them . . . just to avoid hurting people’s FEELINGS. 80% of bosses said their company has laid someone off in the past year when they could have fired them for cause. Sometimes it’s out of kindness, like to avoid hurt feelings or help out with severance. But the #1 reason they do it is more self-serving .
1. To maintain company morale. 62% of bosses cited it as a reason. So, we react better if we think our friend got laid off because the money just wasn’t there.
2. To avoid wrongful termination lawsuits. A close second at 59%.
3. To help the person out with a severance package, 54%. So, that one’s nice.
4. To avoid hurting their feelings, 38%. The old line, “You know I think you’re great. Corporate just gave me no choice.”
According to the poll, layoffs that aren’t REALLY layoffs are more common than you’d think. Half of the bosses polled said at least 75% of layoffs their company made in the past year weren’t really about cutting costs.
