German town offers free 2-week stay to lure people to relocate there
A German town trying to beef up its population is luring in new residents by offering them a two-week trial accommodation — on the house. Eisenhüttenstadt, around 60 miles from Berlin, was built in 1950. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images Eisenhüttenstadt, around 60 miles from Berlin, is accepting applications for the program — which will run from Sept. 6 to 20 — until the beginning of July. Advertisement 'The project is aimed at anyone interested in moving to Eisenhüttenstadt—such as commuters, those interested in returning to the town, skilled workers, or self-employed individuals seeking a change of scenery,' the local council said in a statement, according to CNN Travel. The initiative in the city, which now has a population of around 24,000, is part of an 'innovative immigration project' named 'Make Plans Now,' the council continued. Local businesses will offer internships and job shadowing. dpa/picture alliance via Getty Images Advertisement Those enrolled in the program will also participate in activities designed just for them, including a tour of Eisenhüttenstadt, home to historical buildings from the Soviet era. One man was so captivated by its architecture that he had already moved there. 'We were traveling to Ratzdorf with friends and drove through Karl-Marx-Straße. And I saw these houses, this architecture that completely blew me away, and I said to my wife, 'I'm going to move here,'' he wrote on the town hall's Instagram account. Eisenhüttenstadt, which means Steel Mill Town, was built around a steel mill. Guests will get the chance to explore its factories as well. Advertisement The town also houses the largest integrated steelworks facility in eastern Germany, which employs 2,500 people and acts as a metals processing hub. Local businesses will also offer internships, job shadowing and conduct interviews with tourists, who can move there and join their labor force. Founded in 1950, Eisenhüttenstadt was the first town built from scratch under then East Germany's socialist government. At its peak, it boasted a population of 50,000. Advertisement It was originally named Stalinstadt, or Stalin Town, after the late Soviet leader, Joseph Stalin, but was renamed after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the German reunification.

New council homes approved on former sea cadet site
New council homes have been approved at a former Surrey sea cadet site. A planning application to demolish the existing buildings and replace them with 16 houses, each with a back garden, was approved by Tandridge District Council. The planned development at The Grove and Hawarden Road in Caterham, which currently includes a former barracks, will have 35 car parking spaces. Plans were green-lit on Thursday, with proposals for more social housing supported, but both councillors and residents were frustrated with the design. Marilyn Payne MBE argued at the meeting that plans were "akin to inner city development rather than on the edge of the green belt". She said the homes were too cramped together in the plot, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. The small, north-facing gardens would not be big enough for children to play in and would not get any sunshine, she added. Councillor Jeremy Pursehouse said there were 44 families living in B&Bs on the council's urgent need list. He said they wouldn't "care about the size of the back garden, they want to be out of there". The council bought the land from the Ministry of Defence in 2023. Planning documents said the proposed new builds would look "contemporary and minimal" to reflect the residential area and the previous army barracks. All the homes will be kept by the council and rented to families on its housing list. The development includes 10 three-bedroom homes, five two-bedroom houses, and a wheelchair accessible one-bedroom home. Follow BBC Surrey on Facebook, on X, and on Instagram.

Working hard or hardly working? Gen Z's brutally honest backlash over ‘out of touch' work-life balance ignites TikTok
A millennial CEO called out Gen Z's work ethic — and got flamed for it. Lindsey Carter, founder of activewear company Set Active, said she wasn't prepared for the backlash she faced after critiquing Gen Z's take on work-life balance in a now-deleted TikTok video. 'Now all I see are people sprinting out of their offices at 5pm like it's a fire drill and then wondering why they feel so unfulfilled in their careers,' Carter posted last week. 'Balance is important, but balance without ambition. That's just coasting,' Carter continued. 'You don't build something great by just doing the bare minimum.' The backlash was fast — and furious. Critics slammed Carter, suggesting she was promoting unpaid work and ignoring burnout. 'Staying past 5pm working for a company I have no equity in doesn't sound like the path to fulfillment, ' one TikToker responded. 'How can I be active if I have to be strapped to my desk after 5pm?' another wrote. Carter quickly deleted the post — then blasted her critics on her Instagram story and claimed she'd been cancelled. 'What followed wasn't dialogue. It was a pile-on,' Carter wrote. 'It doesn't leave room for the thing we all say we believe in . . . growth.' She didn't stop there. 'I'm a millennial. I grew up in a culture where 'hard work pays off' wasn't just a phrase . . . it was a promise,' Carter said in a May 30 Substack essay defending her position. 'Two truths can coexist . . . we can honor ambition and protect our peace.' But for many online, that didn't cut it. Haters noted Set Active's negative Glassdoor reviews and Carter's 2023 decision to restructure her social media team, which some interpreted as layoffs. 'She just had a bad take and is out of touch,' one Reddit user wrote. 'That's consequences, not cancellation.' The controversy has since evolved into a larger debate over what ambition should look like in today's workforce and whether Gen Z is lazy — or simply redefining success on their own terms. Younger workers are no longer buying into the hustle mindset pushed by older generations, said Gabrielle Judge, an influencer known as the 'anti work girlboss.' 'Gen Z isn't unambitious,' Judge told The Post. 'We're just done sacrificing our mental health for companies that reward burnout with pizza parties. 'Logging off at 5 isn't laziness. It's a boundary.' Career strategist J.T. O'Donnell, founder of Work It Daily, said she understands both sides. Rather than trading hours for pay, younger workers are more focused on leveraging skills and knowledge in a changing economy. 'Working long hours is less productive,' said Celeste Headlee, author of 'Do Nothing: How to Break Away from Overworking, Overdoing, and Underliving.' 'I'm not irritated that Lindsey used the word 'coasting,' I have great empathy for her. She is still gripped by the delusion that work is what gives her life purpose and value.' Studies show Gen Z is noticeably less focused on work than young people were just five years ago, said psychologist Jean Twenge, author of 'Generations: The Real Differences between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents — and What They Mean for America's Future.' 'It's a rejection of the idea that work is the most important thing in life,' Twenge said.
