RECOMMENDED HOME OFFICE MFP: HP OFFICEJET PRO 9020 We recommend this printer for home offices as it offers the best value when it comes to cost effectiveness, speed, and having small dimensions. It is also in stock and wireless! Don’t be lured by the $200 printers out there. You will pay the price in the long run because the inks for these machines do not last very long (and thus are more expensive per page), their printing and scanning speeds are very slow, and their durability is low. Price: $349.89 Print speed: 20 Pages Per Minute Scan speed: 35 Pages Per Minute Dimensions (W x D x H): 17.20 x 15.60 x 12.53 in Links to Purchase on A M Exclusive’s Community Store store.amexclusive.com: HP OfficeJet Pro 9020: bit.ly/Pro9020 3-Year Exchange Warranty: bit.ly/9020warranty High Yield 962XL Inks: bit.ly/962XL COMPANIES SPREADING GOODNESS “I’m pickin’ up good vibrations” - The Beach Boys Maybe I’m a dreamer, but I think that small businesses can help change the world by creating environments that foster a sense of community, providing more profound meaning to the workplace. This is a new section we will be featuring in our newsletter, where we will highlight businesses, large and small, that are doing things differently. The first business we will highlight is Airbnb: “Our mission is not merely about travel. When we started Airbnb, our original tagline was ‘Travel like a human.’ The human part was always more important than the travel part. What we are about is belonging, and at the center of belonging is love.” Like many other businesses, the uncertainty created by COVID-19 has severely impacted Airbnb, and their revenues are projected to be half of what they were last year. While having to make the tough decision to lay off 25 percent of their workforce, they did not just make swift cuts and move on. Instead, they took the time to provide details about how they were making cuts, and put together programs to help their departing team members make the tough transition: Alumni Talent Directory — We will be launching a public-facing website to help teammates who are leaving find new jobs. Departing employees can opt-in to have profiles, resumes, and work samples accessible to potential employers. ALUMNI PLACEMENT TEAM For the remainder of 2020, a significant portion of Airbnb Recruiting will become an Alumni Placement Team. Recruiters that are staying with Airbnb will provide support to departing employees to help them find their next job. RISESMART We are offering four months of career services through RiseSmart, a company that specializes in career transition and job placement services. EMPLOYEE-OFFERED ALUMNI SUPPORT We are encouraging all remaining employees to opt into a program to assist departing teammates in finding their next role. LAPTOPS A computer is an essential tool to find new work, so we are allowing everyone leaving to keep their Apple laptops.
