Angela Beatty, chief leadership and human resources officer at Accenture, has been working in HR for more than two decades. In that time, she's figured out how to gauge her resume red and green flags and what those could mean about candidates. Among her red flags is multiple work stints of less than a year. That makes her question if a candidate is "able to gain some traction and collaborate and work with others in a way that would enable them to stay at a place long enough to make an impact," she says. She suggests jobseekers give some context in their resumes to make sure hiring managers know why those stints lasted the length they did.

Wall Street banks just posted their biggest-ever haul from stock trading as the opening months of President Donald Trump's tenure led to upheavals across asset classes — and the need for institutional investors around the world to position themselves for a new regime. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America each notched record equities trading revenue in the first quarter, with the first three producing roughly $4 billion in revenue apiece. When including Citigroup and Wells Fargo, the six largest U.S. banks put up $16.3 billion in stock trading in the quarter, 33% more than a year earlier and higher than in previous periods of tumult, like the 2020 coronavirus pandemic or the 2008 global financial crisis.

🔥 Top trending story online CNBC atm: JPMorganChase wants its money back. The bank this week began suing more customers it has accused of stealing funds from the nation’s largest bank in last year’s so-called infinite money glitch. JPMorgan is now going after customers who allegedly stole amounts below $75,000, which means it is filing complaints in state courts, instead of the federal venues it chose last year, according to a person with knowledge of the company’s deliberations. The glitch, which went viral in late August in videos posted to social media, allowed customers to withdraw the entire value of a fraudulent check before it bounced. ″On August 29, 2024, a masked man deposited a check in Defendant’s Chase bank account in the amount of $73,000.00,” the bank said in a suit filed Tuesday afternoon in Gwinnett County, Georgia. The accused, whose name is being withheld by CNBC until she can respond, owes the bank $57,847.69, and hasn’t complied with requests to return the funds, according to the lawsuit. Besides the Georgia case, the bank is filing lawsuits in state venues in Miami; the Bronx, New York; and two Texas counties, said the person, who declined to be identified speaking about the bank’s plans. The episode highlights the lengths JPMorgan will go to to claw back funds it is owed and to deter future crimes. The bank looked at thousands of potential cases, choosing to litigate the largest amounts with the clearest pattern of theft, said the person familiar. The bank has also sent letters to more than 1,000 customers demanding they repay funds since October, this person said. Some people returned money on their own after CNBC reported in October that the bank was going after potential fraudsters who had drawn down the largest amounts, said the person. The lawsuits are separate from potential criminal cases that both federal and state law enforcement may be pursuing, according to the bank.

Heineken shrugged off the threat of tariffs earlier this year, but now the company is raising more concerns about potential disruptions to its business. In the Dutch brewer's earnings report released Wednesday, Heineken indicated new U.S. tariffs, particularly those targeting canned beer, could force it to adjust spending and investments. "There are broader uncertainties, including recent tariff adjustments and potential increases, as we go forward," the company said in its earnings release. "To navigate this fluctuating environment, we remain agile in our allocation of capital and resources."

Spotify was down Wednesday, with about 50,000 reports of an outage on DownDetector. "We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false," the company wrote in a post to X via their SpotifyStatus account. The music streaming giant did not provide details about the scope of the outage.

In just a decade, Tesla grew its electric vehicle sales from 32,000 units to 1.8 million — making it, for most of that stretch, the world's largest seller of pure EVs. But while it was aggressively ramping up EV production, the company was also changing its mission. In 2006, CEO Elon Musk said Tesla's purpose was to transition the world from fossil fuels to solar power and EVs. In recent years, Musk has turned his focus elsewhere. "Tesla is arguably the world's biggest robotics company," Musk said at Tesla's "AI Day" in 2021. "Because our cars are semi-sentient robots on wheels."

The 1980s launched a style of homes that came to be known as "McMansions." These types of homes have often been criticized for their size, craftsmanship and architectural design. They also developed a reputation for being a bad investment. This is because despite their often luxurious appearance, they are typically built using cheap or mass-produced materials like stucco, fake stone veneer and vinyl siding, said Kate Wagner, The Nation's architecture critic and founder of blog McMansion Hell. She said many of the homes are built this way to accommodate a large number of amenities or an excess of rooms. "You have the movie theater, you have the great room and all of these, you know, entertainment spaces. And that was really considered what the dream home was," Wagner said.

Andy Dunn says he spends less time stressing about work after becoming a parent. That might sound counterintuitive: Enough working parents are so stressed from juggling multiple responsibilities that the U.S. Surgeon General issued a mental health advisory on the topic in August. But while raising a child has added a new set of daily challenges to his life, Dunn — the co-founder of apparel brand Bonobos and CEO of social app Pie — believes it's also made him a more effective and calm workplace leader. "Having a child helps keep things in perspective," says Dunn, whose son Isaiah was born in 2020. Since then, Dunn says he's found it easier to not obsess over every problem that arises at work. His calmer outlook helps him make better decisions faster, he says.
