Would you give your best talent a 13% pay raise? Maybe you aren’t quite sure how to answer that question.

“Picture a pattern of upright dominoes that have been positioned just far enough away from one other to highlight the gap between them, but just close enough to hit each other if one of them tips over.

This morning’s headlines include a story about crew members on a KLM flight being accused of racism related to the Coronavirus. This stems from an incident in which a passenger noticed a handwritten sign taped to a lavatory door on a KLM flight from Amsterdam to Seoul that read in Korean: “cabin crew exclusive restroom.”
New parents, who’d just adopted their eight-day-old daughter, received the surprise of their life on their flight home. They’d spent the last nine years trying to get pregnant or adopt a child, and finally, on Nov. 9, 2019, the California couple were able to take their adopted daughter, who was born in Colorado, home with
