Where people stand on work & careers.

Remote work was a raise nobody can take back — the commute was unpaid labor all along.71%agree · 21 Ambition is undersold — wanting more is healthier than pretending you don't.77%agree · 17 Most people's dream job doesn't exist — the dream is not needing one.50%agree · 16 Company loyalty is a one-way street — job-hopping is just pricing yourself correctly.86%agree · 14 If your job can be done from home and you're forced in anyway, that's about control, not collaboration.43%agree · 7 A four-day week would produce the same output, and everyone below the C-suite knows it.33%agree · 6 Mandatory team-building does more harm than good.50%agree · 4 Nobody has ever needed a camera on to think better.75%agree · 4 The office made work friendships that remote work simply can't.100%agree · 4 Once you've said you're leaving, you've left.
