Prime Minister <keyword id="6354477" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Narendra-Modi">Narendra Modi</keyword> has undoubtedly done a brilliant job in carrying out some significant economic and governance reforms after coming to power last year, but more needs to be done, top American CEOs have said after meeting him. Kicking off his second visit to the US in one year with a meeting with eight of the top 10 financial entities in the US, including <keyword id="63460" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="JP-Morgan">JP Morgan</keyword> and Blackstone, Modi outlined efforts made during the last 15 months to increase investment in key areas like infrastructure. 

	Some of the CEOs, after the meeting, said yesterday that they were satisfied with the progress of the reform.
 "The government has already undertaken a massive amount of reforms. Key message from the US companies was keep doing what you are doing. I had a great meeting, there was a constructive dialogue in the spirit of collaboration. We are looking at India trying to get foreign direct investment," J P Morgan CEO <keyword id="249799" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="James-Dimon">James Dimon</keyword> said. "Our goal is to make sure that we are seeing enough change so that we feel we are comfortable in investing our capital. We would continue to watch and wait. For the amount of time he has been in office, there has been a lot of changes he has made. So clearly more to come, but as a potential investor, we are optimist," said <keyword id="3073678" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vicki-Fuller">Vicki Fuller</keyword> of New York State Common Retirement Fund after her meeting with Modi.

	"I think things tend to overshoot. People tend to get exceptionally excited. I am hopeful as is everyone that things would be on track," Schwarzman said.

"No. We didn't try. It was made very clear to us early on that they did not want to be a part of the show, so that ended," Candace Cameron Bure told Insider on Monday when asked if they attempted to get the sisters to return for the finale, which features a triple wedding for their onscreen sisters D.J. and Stephanie.<div type="image" title="stephanie dj tanner fuller house 518" height="649" width="1068" msid="76165239" hostid="261"></div>The twins played Michelle, the youngest Tanner sister, on the original long-running series "Full House." Though the duo doesn't make an appearance at their sisters' wedding, the finale is filled with many other surprise guests to make the event feel extra special, including the return of Joey McIntyre. Cameron Bure shared her role in getting McIntyre to appear on the series again and how several actors reprised their original characters for small cameos.<h2>How Joey McIntyre returned to 'Fuller House': Candace Cameron Bure simply called and asked.</h2>Previously seen on season two of "Fuller House," Danny Tanner hired the "New Kids on the Block" singer to officiate D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy's triple wedding.<div type="image" title="fuller house 211 joey mcintyre" height="1667" width="2500" msid="76165241" hostid="261"></div>"I had a little hand in getting Joey McIntyre," said Cameron Bure. "I sat with our showrunners and we talked about who we wanted to officiate the wedding and we wanted a fun surprise guest.""I said, 'Well, if you're going to ask me or Andrea [Barber], I know hands down we'd love it to be Joey McIntyre.' So they said, 'Oh, we think that'd be hysterical.' So I said, 'Let me call him.' And I called Joey."Cameron Bure said it was as simple as asking the singer if he wanted to be in the series finale."He was like, 'I would never pass up the opportunity,'" added Cameron Bure. "It was as easy as that. So, we got our first choice. And he was super funny. I loved it."<div type="image" title="dj joey mcintyre fuller house season 5 finale" height="725" width="967" msid="76165243" hostid="261"></div>The moment was a huge payoff.Earlier in the season, the three couples play a version of "The Newlywed Game" with their kids. All three women mention McIntyre as their first celebrity crush, something that flusters Kimmy's fiancé, Fernando who isn't familiar with the singer.<div type="image" title="joey mcintyre fuller house 516" height="2334" width="1200" msid="76165247" hostid="261"></div>"They did build that up with the show beforehand," said Candace Bure. "It infused the comedy in that portion of the wedding because we didn't want any big stunts during the wedding."<h2>'There were no background extras at the wedding': How several actors reprised their 'Full House' characters for the finale.</h2><div type="image" title="vicky fuller house 518" height="1440" width="2560" msid="76165250" hostid="261"></div>In addition to McIntyre, the finale included many surprise cameos for longtime "Full House" fans. Gail Edwards returns again as Danny Tanner's ex-fiancée, Vicky, David Lipper appears as D.J.'s ex, Viper, and Scott Menville, who played Kimmy's ex-boyfriend, Duane, gets a quick line during the nuptials.<div type="image" title="duane fuller house" height="608" width="811" msid="76165251" hostid="261"></div>The return of Blake McIver Ewing as Derek Boyd, Michelle's childhood friend, was a favorite of Cameron Bure's. His character winds up auditioning to officiate the triple wedding with a rendition of "The Yankee Doodle Boy.""I think he was the standout surprise guest. I loved that he came back for it," said Cameron Bure. "We wanted to bring back everyone who was willing to come back." <div type="image" title="derek boyd fuller house" height="1638" width="1192" msid="76165254" hostid="261"></div>According to the actress, the producers and writers had an entire list of who they wanted to try and bring back for the finale. They collaborated on who they thought those guests should be. It wasn't tough to get most people involved."When they said that, we were like, "Oh my gosh. That'd be so great if he wanted to come back and do a little 'Yankee Doodle Boy,' because he was so funny on the original show," Cameron Bure added of McIver Ewing's return. "I thought he just did a fantastic job. He nailed it. He made me laugh out loud the most of anyone on the finale show.""And I'll tell you, most of the people that were sitting there for the wedding pretty much came for free and just sat there because they wanted to be a part of the show," said Cameron Bure. "It meant something to them. And there was not one person in our wedding that wasn't either a personal family member or someone that had been on the show, so there were no background extras at the wedding."The final episodes of "Fuller House" are currently streaming on <keyword id="128682" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Netflix">Netflix</keyword>.

The Olsen twins were never asked to return for the 'Fuller House' finale. Here's how the show got its surprise guests instead.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Having work friends has perks for workers and employers alike.</li><li>Gallup's Ben Wigert said people's best friends at work "create a sense of trust, belonging, and connection."</li></ul>Back in the pre-pandemic, full-time office era, Erin Mantz, 54, often had someone at work she could trust, commiserate with, count on, and have fun with — her "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-boomers-work-wives-millennials-disagree-husband-2023-4">work spouse</a>.""It's not like a dating app," Mantz said. "I wasn't actively out there being like, 'Who can I pick?' It just sort of happened organically."But now Mantz doesn't have a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/work-spouse-husband-wife-millennials-disapprove-2023-4">work spouse</a> at Zeno Group where she's the vice president of employee engagement. While working a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/hybrid-work-from-home-office-culture-remote-jobs-productivity-happiness-2024-6">hybrid</a> model could be a reason, Mantz speculated it also could be because she's part of an older generation "in a company that skews probably younger," working from a smaller office than many of her coworkers, or because of her level at the company.With the rise of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/10-companies-work-from-anywhere-roles-some-paying-six-figures-2024-1">remote</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/google-microsoft-ibm-companies-hybrid-work-office-collaboration-flexibility-happiness-2023-8">hybrid work</a> following the pandemic, work relationships have forever changed. Experts told BI that while workers tend to value more <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/dream-job-in-office-work-full-time-flexibility-benefits-2024-3">flexibility in the workplace</a> — which remote and hybrid work allow — <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gen-z-wants-to-go-in-office-bosses-dont-2023-7">younger workers might gravitate toward in-person roles</a> in the hopes doing so will facilitate social connections and deeper relationships. If they can't, they'll be more likely to experience <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/young-worker-sparked-loneliness-debate-spent-night-alone-in-hotel-2024-3">loneliness</a>.A lack of work friends can be bad news for workers and employers. Ben Wigert, director of research for Gallup's workplace management practice, said in a written statement that people's best friends at work "create a sense of trust, belonging, and connection.""Humans need each other and collaborate more effectively when they have real relationships," Wigert said. "If you're worried that a friendship will prevent people from being candid and productive, you have bigger underlying problems on your team. Great teams will attest who you work with makes all the difference."Wigert noted "disruptive changes from where we work to the pace of work, how we serve our customers, rampant turnover, and a lot of restructuring." It could mean that employees and employers alike need to go the extra mile to build up that camaraderie. Mantz found that it's up to each person to reach out, chat with people, and make an effort to get to know them better."Because in this world, this hybrid world — and even if you're not a remote worker, but maybe your company has offices all over the country or all over the world — you're not going to organically be sitting next to someone where you can just chat," Mantz said. "So I think you have to push yourself a little bit to be a little bit more outgoing and interested in people."<h2 id="846a0e53-94a5-4c68-a60d-ce853b6e5bd3">How workplace connections have changed</h2>With remote work, developing a work-spouse relationship is much more difficult due to limited in-person interactions.Vicki Salemi, career expert for job-search site Monster, said in a written statement that this type of connection may be less close when working remotely full-time compared to when working a hybrid model or always working from an office."Plus, part of the work spouse relationship involves having that person to have your back, navigate office politics together and more and when you're remote, there are fewer opportunities to interact in person with social dynamics of the office," Salemi said.Julianna Pillemer, an assistant professor of management and organization at New York University, told BI that the rise of remote work meant we are losing out on the key places that often facilitate closer relationships."This might look like the water cooler, the photocopier room, the break room, the hallway where people gather, any space that's just kind of like where people serendipitously bump into each other," she said. "That has traditionally been really important for fostering personal connections between employees."Still, Pillemer said, relationships aren't all lost with remote work. Connecting through online interfaces like <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/largest-zoom-conversation-database-science-interact-video-chat-2023-4">Zoom</a> can allow coworkers to see each other's living spaces and pets, which can often be more intimate than a water cooler chat. The issue often arises when virtual social events end up being a mandatory, overplanned burden; it's not the same as spontaneously deciding to get drinks after work."A reason why I think Zoom happy hours backfired so hard is people don't want to feel forced," Pillemer said. "It's mandatory fun."While some might discount water cooler chats as shallow small talk, Pillemer also noted it could help spark professional development. If a person is frequently in the office and actively looking to connect with others, they might be considered first for a promotion or a big project over someone who is fully remote.Wigert noted that work best friends, work spouses, and similarly strong work connections can lead to being "more engaged, productive, and committed to their organization."<h2 id="54930388-15e7-45ba-9ef0-9f5e38948f97">What work friendships and spouses look like for younger and older workers</h2>Another challenge with the modern workplace is differing demands among generations. Joseph Fuller, a professor at Harvard's Business School and co-leader of the school's Managing the Future of Work Initiative, told BI that while older workers tend to be "a product of routine" and are more comfortable with the pre-pandemic fully in-person work schedule, younger workers are used to the flexibility of the workplace and are less likely to give that up.But still, Fuller said, "If you are working hybrid a lot, you're not forming friendships, you're not broadening your personal network, you're not meeting people to socialize with, date, whatever else. And so you see in 20-somethings, in a lot of industries, an actual desire to go to the office."Mantz finds the pros of having a work spouse outweigh the cons and said while it depends on the company and work culture, she thinks people in younger or older generations relative to Gen X don't really have this connection."I see a lot of the younger generations having a lot of really great, positive, friendly working relationships with people at the office," Mantz said. "A lot of folks who they work with, they would even call friends, but I think Gen X felt a need to really form alliances. So, while it was important to be friendly with everyone, I think we were a bit more cynical."If you're new to the workplace and don't want to feel lonely in the workplace or just hoping to make some friends at work, Mantz suggested looking into company offerings, such as mentorship programs or even workplace book clubs. Mantz also advised people to reach out to people outside their generation."I think that that's a really important thing to do and not discount, well, that person doesn't seem like me, so I'm not going to make an effort if you will, because it really is a lot about forming relationships and alliances," Mantz said. "Kindness and interest go a long way, and I don't think that changes across the generations."What is your experience with work friendships, work spouses, and loneliness at work?
