How to Tell Your Boss That You’re Not Engaged at Work
Global estimates indicate that most employees are not fully engaged at work. One of the main drivers of employee disengagement is bad leadership. But leaders are often unaware of this, as it’s very unusual for employees to feel that they can honestly and openly criticize their bosses without paying the consequences. If you want to give your employer a chance before considering other jobs, you need to try to communicate your dissatisfaction. One tactic is to tell your manager that you need help reaching your full potential, or that you need a new challenge. Alternatively, you can say that your role is not the right fit for you. Another option is to say that you find your work exhausting and that you’re looking for help. Granted, these approaches are not guaranteed to work, so it’s always good to have a Plan B in mind before you address the issue head-on.

Disqus reveals it suffered a security breach in 2012
Another day, another security breach (and another, and another...). This time it's Disqus, which is revealing that in 2012 -- around the time when Engadget used Disqus for comments -- hackers made off with some of its data, covering a snapshot of usernames and associated email addresses dating back to 2007, as well as "sign-up dates, and last login dates in plain text for 17.5mm [sic] users." More distressing is news that it also coughed up passwords for a third of those accounts, which were in hashed (SHA1) form but it's possible the attackers could have decrypted them.
