But the outage that sent computers crashing around the world on Friday was unique — and meant that resolving the problem has been much harder and time-consuming. Here's what to know. https://nyti.ms/4bR67yF

The term “glass cliff” is a phenomenon in which a company in crisis appoints a woman to turn things around — often setting them up for failure. Some saw Boeing naming Stephanie Pope to run its commercial airplanes division in March as the latest example. Companies say they aren’t consciously doing this. But some researchers think companies in crisis sometimes turn to women because they are perceived as having the soft skills needed to navigate difficult situations. The glass cliff is also prevalent in other countries and outside the corporate world: in government, sports leagues and at universities.

A reader asked: “My younger sister has decided to attend an expensive private college. This surprised me: She was accepted at prestigious state schools with scholarships, which would be more affordable for our parents, who are footing the bill. When my brother and I went to college several years ago, such an expensive school would have been out of the question. We also had to take out small loans, which my parents are not asking our sister to do. Their financial situation hasn’t changed, and I feel frustrated. I had to select a college based on price and take out loans; she doesn’t have to do either. Should I raise this with my parents? They are kind and generous people, and I don’t want to seem ungrateful. But I am still paying off the loans.”
