The best way to enhance your role is to demonstrate you can add value by taking on new responsibilities, writes Chris Taylor. Try to quantify the value you'll add in specific terms, which will make your boss more likely to approve of an idea.

How motivation changes as professionals gain experience

Should you ever report a co-worker for messing up?

Remember that in the case of something like chronic lateness or long lunches, your co-worker may have special circumstances you're unaware of, writes Chrissy Scivicque.

Couple exchanges vows in underwater wedding
British army sergeant Thomas Mould and former diving instructor Sandra Hyde staged an underwater wedding in the Florida Keys last week and used an underwater tablet to exchange their wedding vows.
