No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.

Today's talk is Why we get mad - and why it’s healthy by Ryan Martin. Anger researcher Ryan Martin draws from a career studying what makes people mad to explain some of the cognitive processes behind anger -- and why a healthy dose of it can actually be useful. "Your anger exists in you ... because it offered your ancestors, both human and nonhuman, an evolutionary advantage," he says. "[It's] a powerful and healthy force in your life."

After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:

What resonated for you in the video?
What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?
As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?
What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.
How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?

If you're a supervisor, consider using this talk for team building purposes! You might send the video ahead of your meeting with several reflection questions on which you'd like your staff to come prepared to speak.

Please be mindful that the time sheet for pay period 2020-14 (ending 1/2/2021) is the last time sheet that will be processed for calendar year 2020. Below are helpful factors that should be shared with supervisors and leave eligible employees.

To ensure that all leave is recorded and processed correctly for the 2021 calendar year, it is imperative that time sheets (pay period 14 and prior) are submitted and approved by Thursday, January 7, 2021. These time sheets must be processed in time entry for PR15.
IMPACT: Processing late time sheets after PR15 time entry, for leave eligible employees, will result in leave reductions from the 2021 leave and post inaccurate balances.
Personal leave hours for calendar year 2021 were available to employees for usage as of January 1, 2021. Starting with the time sheet for pay period 16 (1/17/2021 thru 1/30/2021) and until the year-end leave process occurs, employees will notice the personal leave balance will reflect the unused personal hours from 2020 in addition to the hours for 2021. Any personal leave hours used or processed in the system after January 2, 2021 (ie. late time sheets or excess usage) will be deducted from the 2021 personal leave balance.
Maximum annual leave carryover into 2021, for full-time employees, is 480 hours. Carryover hours are pro-rated for part-time employees.
Supervisors should submit a Holiday Leave Carryover Exception Request Form (https://umbc.box.com/HolLeaveCarryoverExceptionPDF) for any employee approved to carry over unused holiday leave into calendar year 2021. The form must be signed by the Department Head and forwarded to my attention for review and processing.
Employees will notice updated leave balances, inclusive of processed year-end figures, on the time sheet for pay period 17 (ending 2/13/2021).
Payroll Preparers will be able to run the detailed leave report (use pay run id 2021016) to review leave data inclusive of year-end processing. Helpful note: The steps for year-end leave processing are as follows: (1) roll back excess or unused leave from 2020--applicable to annual and personal leave; (2) deduct leave used reported on time sheet 15; (3) add the leave accrual earned for PR15; (4) process manual adjustments entered by HR; and (5) calculate new ending leave balances.

If you have any questions, please contact me at mcnamara@umbc.edu.

No need to look any further. Each week, we curate talks on topics that matter NOW for all of us related to resilience, self-care, dealing with uncertain times, as well as ways to stay connected, inspired, and grounded when the earth beneath us is shifting.

Today's talk is How burnout makes us less creative by Rahaf Harfoush. Our obsession with productivity -- to-do lists, life hacks, morning routines -- is making us less productive, says digital anthropologist Rahaf Harfoush. She explains why we need to redesign our workday around creativity -- not just efficiency.

After you watch, we invite you to reflect on the following:

What resonated for you in the video?
What lived experiences do you have, either personally or professionally that align with the core message of the talk?
As you think of your role as a student, employee, or manager what feels relevant and useful to remember?
What are you taking away that feels meaningful - either a new perspective, a potential action, etc.
How might we take better care of ourselves and each other during this time?
