The midterm elections are drawing closer, and with that come fears of rampant misinformation spreading online through social media platforms like Facebook.

Facebook parent company Meta said it removed a Chinese influence network attempting to stoke tensions among users on the platform, as well as Instagram and Twitter.

The signs of burnout at work

Sometimes the stress and demands of your job, combined with living through a global pandemic, can leave you physically and mentally exhausted to the point of feeling burnt out. But how can you tell? Other signs of burnout include increased irritability, and not feeling as invested or motivated at work. If you're worried you have reached the point of burnout, here are a couple tips that might help:

• Take breaks. And don't eat lunch at your desk.
• Take time off when possible.
• Say no to requests, if you have the option.
