空軍一架編號6700的F-16V戰機於1月6日晚間在花蓮外海執行訓練時墜海,上尉飛官跳傘後失聯。海巡署在晚間立即出動3艦6艇,並施放測流浮標,研判漂流方向。
國家搜救指揮中心同步派出海鷗直升機加入搜尋。現場海象受到大陸冷氣團影響,風浪強勁,使搜救行動更為艱難。總統賴清德表示,他已指示各單位把握每一秒,全力尋回上尉並祈願他平安。
F-16V Crash off Hualien Coast, Military Continues Search for Missing Pilot
An F-16V fighter jet with tail number 6700 crashed off the coast of Hualien on the night of January 6 while carrying out a training mission, and the captain-rank pilot went missing after ejecting. The Coast Guard Administration immediately deployed three ships and six patrol boats that evening, and it also released drifting buoys to estimate the possible direction of drift.
The National Rescue Command Center also dispatched a Search and Rescue Helicopter to join the search. The sea conditions were affected by a strong cold air mass, and the heavy winds and high waves made the rescue operation even more difficult. President Lai Ching-te said he had instructed all agencies to make use of every second, do everything they can to find the captain, and pray for his safe return.

第三則:外送員專法三讀通過 每單報酬不得低於45元

天災停班時,平台必須停業並通知外送員。違反薪資或職災通報規定者將面臨罰鍰。業者與工會團體則關注新法可能帶來的營運成本,與外送費調整的壓力。

第四則:高位者為何該先示弱?哈佛教授揭信任關鍵
哈佛商學院教授指出,團體中若存在明顯的位階差距,弱勢成員往往不敢表達意見。高位者若想建立信任關係,應主動肯定他人、承認自己的不足,並以平等的態度傾聽。
研究也發現,高位者分享自身的失敗、展現幽默或以友善眼神接觸,都能提高團隊的安全感,並鼓勵低位者更願意開口。領導者的任何舉動都能決定團隊敢不敢勇於發表想法。
Why Should Leaders Show Vulnerability First? Harvard Professor Explains the Key to Trust
A Harvard Business School professor said that when a group has a clear hierarchy, lower-status members often do not dare to share their opinions. If high-status members want to build trust, they should actively recognize others, admit their own shortcomings, and listen with an equal attitude.
Research also found that when high-status members share their failures, show humor, or make friendly eye contact, they can increase the group’s sense of safety and encourage lower-status members to speak more. Experts said that any action by a leader can influence whether the team dares to express its ideas.
