SUMMARY: A new workplace trend called “quiet cracking” refers to employees feeling unfulfilled and disengaged at work, lacking job satisfaction and growth opportunities. A Gallup report found over 50% of U.S. employees are not engaged, with 17% actively disengaged. Experts attribute this to pandemic-related disruptions rather than generational differences. The segment “Blair’s Social Second” encourages viewers to share how they stay motivated at work. Suggestions include maintaining a routine, particularly for parents during summer, and finding joy in meaningful tasks—like storytelling or helping others—which can reignite motivation and purpose in the workplace. Viewer responses will be shared in a future segment.

SUMMARY: Before debuting with the St. Louis Cardinals, Adam Wainwright had a close brush with the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. In early September 2001, Wainwright and his brother Trey planned a trip to New York City, initially to see a Yankees game that was rained out. Instead, they visited the Empire State Building on Sept. 10, capturing a photo with the World Trade Center behind them. They planned to visit the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sept. 11 but left New York early, narrowly avoiding the attacks. Wainwright later reflected on seeing smoke from the tragedy during their drive. He pitched for the Cardinals from 2005-2023, winning 200 games.

SUMMARY: Boeing and the Machinists Union have reached a tentative five-year agreement to end a strike lasting over five weeks. The deal includes an average 45% wage increase, ratification bonuses, more vacation and sick time, and no medical changes. Though Boeing had planned to hire replacement workers, those plans are on hold pending the union vote. Workers remain cautious, wanting time to review the offer with families. Boeing leadership believes the contract will bring stability by moving many employees to the top pay scale. The union’s 837 members will vote on the proposal Friday in St. Louis.
