PARIS (Reuters) - French President Francois Hollande said on Thursday he would not seek a second term in next year's presidential election, a surprise move that clears the way for an alternative left-wing candidate.

It is the first time since France's fifth Republic was created in 1958 that an incumbent French president has not sought re-election. Hollande is the most unpopular president in French polling history, a fact he tacitly acknowledged in a speech from the Elysee Palace. Читать дальше...

After working my way up from an entry-level sales coordinator to project manager for a global brand, I was hungry and excited for the next step in my career. I wanted to be a senior manager and lead my own team.

I knew there was room for growth at my company, so I buckled down and immersed myself in my job. And a year later, I was promoted to a management position — finally, my hard work had paid off. I was absolutely euphoric.

I'd poured my time and energy into making my goal a reality... Читать дальше...

And while there are a few financial practices that foster a happy, healthy life together, there are plenty to avoid as well. 

Business Insider spoke with multiple financial and relationship experts... Читать дальше...

On November 7, a day before Donald Trump pulled off a stunning victory, Hillary Clinton signed a copy of Newsweek's "Madam President" issue for a supporter in Pennsylvania. It was a prophecy that never came to be. 

It's common practice for magazines to print issues for both candidates in a national election. Because most polls showed Clinton ahead on election day by a wide margin, Newsweek went ahead printed 125,000 issues with Clinton on the cover, according to The Blaze. Читать дальше...

Between grabbing lunchtime salads, catching up over coffee, or letting off steam at post-work happy hours, ample opportunities to go out with your coworkers arise every week.

But as in all situations where you're splitting a check with multiple people, things can get tricky when the bill comes. Luckily, unlike when you're out with your in-laws, the rules are fairly clear-cut for any outings involving clients or coworkers.

First of all, if it's a business dinner... Читать дальше...

We spend a lot of time at work.

As CNN reported, a Gallup poll revealed that American adults working full time put in an average of 47 hours a week.

Given how many hours we devote to the office, it's probably pretty important to our overall well being that we're in the right job, right?

Getting stuck in the wrong role can really do a number on you.

However, it's not always obvious that you've landed a great gig... Читать дальше...

Walking around his hometown of College Station, Texas, 21-year-old social media star Aaron Doh began getting stopped for pictures last summer. Fans recognized him from Vine, where he had racked up one million followers by August 2015.

"I think that's when I hit my peak," said Doh, a budding comedian who performs on social media rather than in clubs.

Needless to say, Twitter's recent announcement that it planned to kill Vine was a bummer. For some young social media celebs, it brought an end to a source of income. Читать дальше...

Users on the question-and-answer website Quora recently shared their "best" unethical life hacks that could score you everything from free Chipotle to major savings at grocery stores.

But be warned: These hacks are uniformly unethical. Some veer into fraud. They should be regarded as informational and for entertainment purposes rather than as actual suggestions. You shouldn't do them. If you do them, you need to take a long, hard look in the mirror. Читать дальше...

Getting stronger, looking hotter, being less humiliated when climbing the stairs with spry colleagues — these are all solid reasons to work out.

And yet if you're having trouble mustering the motivation to hit the gym regularly, do yourself a favor and stop lecturing yourself about the myriad benefits of physical activity. It's hardly helping.

A better bet? Put a time on your calendar and do it, and trust that you'll like it.

That's according to Dan Ariely... Читать дальше...

Heather Bresch, the CEO of Mylan, which makes the EpiPen, knows who to blame for soaring drug prices — and it's not her company.
