Do you really know‪?‬ Bababam (in English)

You may remember that we talked about the Great Resignation a little while back on Do You Really Know. The trend saw millions of workers across the US quit their jobs in 2021 and 2022 in particular, with a similar pattern being seen in other Western countries too.
Well it might have seemed like a great idea at the time for a lot of those resignees, but it hasn’t been all rosy for some of them since. A 2023 survey by American HR solutions provider Paychex suggested that as many as 80% of workers who quit during the Great Resignation already regretted their decision to do so.
There’s always a good reason for having left a job though, isn’t there? Surely, it’s better to leave the past in the past?! Is the boomeranging trend really that common? What do employers stand to gain from taking back boomerang employees?

Imagine being drunk, without having drunk a single drop of alcohol, it seems completely implausible, and yet for some is a reality. South-West media shared the story of a motorist who appeared in court in Bruges in 2022 after being found to have too much alcohol in his blood twice in the same year. The man, in his forties, was eventually acquitted, proving that the tests were not the result of a night of drinking, but rather of auto-brewery syndrome. 
Self-brewing syndrome, also known as intestinal fermentation syndrome, is when your body turns into a mini-brewery.  Professor Alvarez, co-author of an analysis published on the subject in December 2020. says it’s when carbs ferment into ethanol right inside your gut, thanks to yeast. Normally, our gut yeast can’t brew enough booze to affect us. But for those with auto-brewery syndrome, it’s a different story. They’ve got an overabundance of yeast, and when too much sugar is consumed, it ferments into alcohol, leading to drunkenness.

When you’re feeling a little blue, eating to feel better can be an appealing proposition. But the reality is we often turn to junk food or sugary treats that are high in calories and packed with salt or saturated fats.
Of course, our mood can be impacted by a number of factors and there’s no magic fix that will instantly make us feel better. But there are actually types of food out there that have been proven to improve brain health and thereby beat mood disorders.
Which foods are proven to improve brain health? Avocados are rich in Omega 3, aren’t they? Don’t bananas also contain tryptophan? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Pride Month 2024 is in full flow and this week, Do You Really Know brings you a week-long exploration of topics aimed at deepening your understanding of LGBTQI+ history and struggles. Initially dubbed as LGBT rights, they've undergone changes alongside the evolving language of identity. 
The term "gay" alone became way too narrow to encompass the entire community, leading to the adoption of LGBTQI+. And the letter "Q" specifically stands for "queer," a term with broader implications than its literal meaning of "strange." Oxford Languages defines it as “denoting or relating to a sexual or gender identity that does not correspond to established ideas of sexuality and gender, especially heterosexual norms.”
When did the term Queer start to be used? What exactly does it mean to be "queer" then? How does the queer movement relate to other LGBTQI+ terms? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

When choosing a holiday destination abroad, what factors do you take into account? Perhaps stunning landscapes, vibrant cultural scenes or enticing local cuisine. Well for some people it goes beyond that, and they have to think about to what extent they can be themselves without fear. 
For many LGBTQI+ individuals, that’s an important consideration. As of 2024, homosexuality remains illegal in over 60 countries, and nearly 40 countries have laws that criminalise transgender individuals. But it's not just about the laws; local public opinion also plays a significant role. Travelling or relocating can therefore sometimes be a real challenge.
What makes a country "LGBTQI+-friendly"? Which countries top the list then? What about the UK? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

A global study by Deloitte, conducted early last year, uncovered that fewer than half of queer employees are comfortable disclosing their identity to all their colleagues. Although a majority sees the value in openness about their orientation, the ease of sharing this with the entire office is another story.
On the other hand, in France, an April 2024 study by Ifop, in partnership with L’Autre Cercle, brought some positive news. An encouraging 77% of employees feel their workplaces are welcoming to them.
But what challenges persist? How does visibility impact the workplace? Is there a generational gap in workplace inclusion? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
