Oct 22, 2020

Due to various reasons, such as long hours of work and comfort, nurses are loyal to their favorite shoe brands. Some people are reluctant to try new things and insist on using their famous sports shoe brand, some people like clogs.

 Baltimore, MD (Merxwire) – Why do some people like sports shoes and some people like clogs? In fact, clog-type shoes have many advantages, and there are many styles on the market. Is it really comfortable to wear clogs? Why do some nurses prefer clog? Let us explore the advantages of clog-type shoes, after you try it, maybe you will love it too!

Aesthetics

If you think that the nursing clog is only ordinary black or white, it means that you have not gone shopping for a while! These shoes now have a variety of colors, patterns, styles, various heels, T-straps, traditional slip-ons. You will definitely find a nursing clog that can express your unique personality. There are many common brands for men or women, such as the famous Dansko, and many other brands on the market.

Support

Twelve hour shifts and beyond demand a lot of shoes.  Nurses who have been working for several years are prone to a myriad of foot, leg, and back problems.  Nursing clogs are touted for providing better foot, ankle, knee, and back support.  A contoured sole and rocker bottom provides the forward motion that these shoes are known for. Most nurses who start wearing clogs feel that it takes a few shifts to get used to them, and recommend wearing them for a few hours, then switching to your other shoes until you become accustomed to clogs.

Let’s talk about the heel.  The traditional 2-inch solid heel provides a lot of shock absorption for walking and standing.  Then you will be converted and won’t look back!

Safety

Clogs provide many features other than foot support.  The shoe completely encases the foot, with no open toe or mesh top that is vulnerable to liquids and stains.  The soles are non-skid to provide stability on slick surfaces. A wider heel provides extra stability for the foot and ankle.  Clogs are also easy-to-clean on the outside with antibacterial cleaners to reduce worry of infection transmission.

Comfort

Slip-on clogs are fitted, yet easy to slide on and off.  They also breathe and move with the foot, in contrast to laces that can be tight on the top of the foot after many hours.  Nurses say that clogs mold to the foot after wearing for some time, providing an even better fit. The toe box is traditionally roomy with wiggle room. The heel collar is padded, guarding against blisters and discomfort.

Durability

Nurses will tell you that these shoes last a long time – even under the extreme conditions found by working 12-hour shifts on your feet.  Most of the time all these shoes ever need is a good cleaning, a polish, and maybe a new insole.  Some nurses rotate a few pairs for years, giving them color and style options.

Sizing

Clogs sometimes come in European sizing, so it is important to know your measurements and size.  It is recommended to try on shoes to figure out your exact size, then feel free to order.  Check out sizing charts that compare European sizes to US sizing.

Now – go find some shoes that work as hard as you do!  Trust me, do NOT skimp on shoes when it comes to nursing work.  You need and deserve the best shoes for the job. It will make all the difference in your ability to work long shifts, and how you feel on your days off!

What to consider if a company that made AI-related job cuts wants you back

What to consider if a company that made AI-related job cuts wants you back

Oct 30, 2026

NEW YORK — Companies around the world are increasingly citing artificial intelligence when slashing jobs, fueling anxiety that a lot more workers may lose their livelihoods to machines. Microsoft, Barclays Bank and supermarket chain Kroger are among the latest entries on a growing list of companies that have announced AI-related workforce reductions this year, including the elimination of jobs deemed redundant or shed to free up money for investing in the technology. But the job cuts of the AI era, which are affecting tens of thousands of people, occasionally have an epilogue. Some companies, after discovering that AI models, applications and agents don't perform as well as expected, end up rehiring laid-off workers to fill eliminated positions. It's unclear how common such reversals are, but they are happening often enough to acquire a nickname: the "AI boomerang." "Two years ago, we said, 'Would this happen?' and now we're saying, 'Yes, it is happening in real time,'" said Lucy Beaumont, a global senior vice president at SHL, a U.K.-based technology company that develops employment-related tests and tools. Hiring managers in fields including finance, marketing, law and health reported earlier this year that their companies had eliminated positions primarily because of AI or automation, only to hire again for the same or similar roles, according to recruitment and staffing firm Robert Half. The most frequently cited reasons for restoring dropped jobs included the technology needing more human oversight than anticipated and its inability to replicate institutional knowledge, the firm said. "When you need critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, institutional knowledge, those are things that AI just can't replicate," Bill Driscoll, a senior district president at Robert Half, said. "And I think that's where companies are starting to realize, 'Wow, we really do need people to do these jobs.'" Klarna, the Swedish provider of buy now, pay later services, began recruiting human customer service representatives again last year. CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski acknowledged in an interview with Bloomberg News that the company's reliance on an AI chatbot to cut costs had gone too far. In June, Ford said it had hired or promoted 350 veteran engineers after AI tools the automaker deployed to do quality control work did not perform at the expected level. "AI utilization has been an important part of our quality gains and that — along with deep technical expertise of our teams — is a powerful combination," a Ford spokesperson told The Associated Press. However, companies don't always broadcast their U-turns on shifting resources or responsibilities from employees to AI systems, Beaumont said. "Maybe their shareholders love that they did this right-sizing motion... and then they have to turn around and quietly, with their tail between their legs, admit that they weren't ready for that or they shouldn't have done that," she said. Management experts offered employment advice for workers as companies make greater use of AI tools and consider — or reconsider — their staffing needs while assessing the technology's capabilities. Rehiring suggests the invisible work of humans is not easily replaced When companies use AI to perform tasks previously done by people, they often miss the invisible work employees do beyond their formal job descriptions, said Betsy Summers, a principal analyst on the Future of Work team at market research and advisory firm Forrester. That might include sensing emotions and moods, holding impromptu meetings and putting in extra effort when feeling inspired or otherwise motivated, Summers said. "We don't know all the work that's required to do things well within the organization," she said. "The citizenship behaviors of team cohesion and team building and making sure that you have trust within your team, none of that is accounted for. So when you rip out humans who are doing that work and then expect agents to be able to then deliver exactly what humans have delivered, they are frequently mistaken." Another factor that complicates assigning more work to AI-powered tools is that company procedures for tasks such as data processing and bookkeeping are not always well documented, experts said. "Organizations are not spending enough time doing the up-front work to really truly understand workflows and where humans add value in the process," said Brooks Holtom, a professor of management at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business. In roles such as customer service, AI agents and chatbots frequently need to refer questions and complaints to a worker who can recognize emotions, assess the severity or complexity of a problem and respond creatively within established policies, Holtom said. "It's that combination of creativity but staying in the guardrail that's really hard for a machine to figure out," he said. Figure out what gives you a competitive edge as a human As companies redirect resources toward AI, current employees and those asked to come back might want to emphasize skills that complement the technology, such as emotional intelligence and sound judgment, Holtom said. "Really try to be able to articulate, what's your value proposition as a human?" Holtom said. "Don't be afraid to lean into the technology as well, and understand how to differentiate yourself from what machines do well. Embrace that, understand that, and you can become uniquely qualified to help with implementation." Empathy is a human quality that technology has not fully mastered, Beaumont said. "Think about an angry customer. They want to be listened to, they want to be heard, they really want a human on the other end of the line," Beaumont said. "Can an AI replace that right now in a way that feels meaningful to individuals? Perhaps not." Know your leverage and use caution if you're asked back Many people are understandably reluctant to return to a company that laid them off as part of a reorganization around artificial intelligence, according to Beaumont. "To come back to a business where you've been let go, replaced by AI, to be asked back to that business, your trust is gone, your psychological safety there, your relationship with the employer, and that's very, very difficult to build back," she said. Workers offered their old jobs back are asking for more money and to know how AI might impact future staffing, Beaumont said. Requesting additional training and a clear explanation of your opportunities for advancement could be part of the discussion, she said. Communicate ways you would contribute value as a returning employee, outlining a new job description "that leverages the technology but also your expertise," Holtom said. You could end up in a higher-ranking position that pays more than the one you left, he said. Before accepting an offer, seek a commitment such as a one-year renewable contract that includes a buyout clause if the job is terminated in less than a year, Holtom suggested. Don't discount the distinctly human values of motivation and curiosity, which make people efficient and effective, Summers said. "Within our societies, work serves a broader purpose than just creating value for shareholders or customers or constituents," she added. "Work serves a human purpose as well. It's the manifestation of our search for meaning and purpose. We want to contribute to our communities as human beings."
