HOUSTON, TX — January 6, 2026 — Alex Morgan, a former flight director at a national space agency who led mission control operations during three orbital missions, today announced the release of his new book, "Mission Control: Leadership Lessons from the Final Frontier."

The book includes behind-the-scenes stories from real missions and practical, applicable frameworks to help teams perform under pressure.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — January 6, 2026 — Unyra, Inc. has provided an update on the security incident discovered on January 2, 2026, including steps they're currently taking to reverse the situation and protect affected customers.

New Study: 73% of Remote Workers Prefer To Take Pay Cut to Maintain Flexibility

Annual Workforce Trends Report reveals shifting employee priorities post-pandemic

BOSTON, MA — January 6, 2026 — A new study from the Workforce Research Institute reveals that nearly three-quarters (73%) of remote workers would accept a salary reduction rather than return to full-time office work, signaling a deeper impact on workplace flexibility.

The 2025 Workforce Trends Report surveyed 10,000 workers across 15 industries in the U.S. Key findings include:
- 73% would take a pay cut (average: 14%) to keep remote options
- 68% say they feel more productive when they work from home
- 52% have declined job offers that required a full-time office presence
- 41% would consider quitting if their company mandated return-to-office

"These numbers should be a wake-up call for employers still pushing for full return-to-office mandates," said Dr. Patricia Howard, of the Workforce Research Institute. "Flexibility is no longer a perk — it's a baseline need and expectation for talent."

The report also found generational differences: 82% of workers under 35 prioritize workplace flexibility over a higher salary, compared to 61% of workers over 50.

The full report is available for download at www.workforceresearch.org/trends-2025.

Fintech Leaders Warn: 2026 Could Be "The Year of the Digital Bank Collapse"

New report from payments consortium identifies five warning signs for struggling neobanks

NEW YORK, NY — January 6, 2026 — A new report from the Digital Payments Consortium, authored by executives from PayStream, CashBlock, and FinLink, predicts significant consolidation in the digital banking sector in 2026, with up to 40% of current neobanks facing acquisition or closure.

The report, "The Neobank Reckoning: 2026 and Beyond," spots specific factors that could be a financial threat to challenger banks. These include squeezing interchange revenue, venture capital pullback in fintech, increased regulatory pressure on "buy now, pay later" products, customer acquisition costs exceeding lifetime value, and incumbent banks launching competitive digital offerings.

"The cheap money that fueled neobank growth is gone, and many of these companies are discovering their business models don't work without it," said Marcus Johnson, Executive Director of the Digital Payments Consortium. "We're advising consumers to verify their deposits are FDIC insured and to have backup banking relationships."

The full report is available at www.digitalpayments.org/neobank-report.
