NYC Marathon Sweatworking, Amazon AI Layoffs & Dubai’s Expat Money Spa
Welcome to the strangest sports-meets-corporate fiesta ever: the NYC Marathon, aka a giant $700 million block party where runners & CEOs like Brooks Running’s Dan Sheridan preach 'keep your head up,' despite sprinting through a sweaty, less-glamorous networking event. Meanwhile, back in cubicle hell, Amazon cuts 14,000 jobs as AI lurks around the corner like a bad sequel, leaving workers clutching Starbucks and LinkedIn profiles. In the meantime, Dubai proudly flexes a 9% expat worker boost, transforming its skyline into a financial Gladiator arena with a side of neutrality. Oh, and female founders still dodge harassing VCs, proving capitalism can be this messy and sexist simultaneously. Stay tuned for Tesla’s pyrotechnic pitch on Elon Musk’s trillion-dollar paycheck—because one guy’s paycheck should power a small country.

Nothing says 'team bonding' like sweaty office runs and AI layoffs. Run so your job doesn’t run away, then move to Dubai where the Burj Khalifa gossip is probably less stressful than venture capital harassment.
Amazon just laid off 14,000 people while Silicon Valley convinces coffee-fueled joggers that sprinting to powerpoints counts as health care.
Founders facing harassment from VCs is the startup world's version of a killer bug no one wants to debug.
