Linked – Women leaders are leaving companies at highest rate ever

This is just sad. Too many companies made a lot of promises about the future and then turned around and canceled them as soon as they felt they could.

“Yet as more women return to the workforce, LeanIn.org’s co-founder and CEO Rachel Thomas says their patience is wearing thin for companies pushing to return to “business as usual,” requiring more time in-office, and letting conversations about employee mental health and diversity, equity and inclusion fall to the wayside after promising to prioritize these issues in 2020. “

The disappointing thing is that it’s primarily women walking away from these companies. I think everyone should. If your organization ran successfully with flexible work and a better focus on wellness and mental health initiatives, and now they want to go back to 2019, they are not well-run.

There is no reason to think those organizations will be flexible and nimble enough to navigate the future. Why stay?

  • Linked – Skills, Skills, Skills

    I’ve said it before, but let me repeat it. Regarding technology, what you learned in college is probably pointless within 2-3 years. What you did at work 5-10 years ago is useless. Continuous learning and upskilling are not optional. Talking about skills-based hiring is a new trend, but it’s the trend that made sense even before it became popular. Your degrees and resume don’t matter nearly as much as what you can do right now and what you can learn going forward.

    This is the business world we live in now. There is no cushy job where you can do the same thing in the same place for 30 years. That’s ancient history, and our career plans and hiring practices must match the current reality.

    A Completely Non-Scientific View of Mental Health Stigma in the Workplace

    A little over a week ago, I came clean on my other blog, and social media. I admitted that I’m just really not OK.

    If you’ve read the post, then you also know that when I mention mental health stigma, I’m not really talking about what happened with my workplace. No, that was exactly what I would want to happen. But, what I noticed was what happened kind of out in public, after the fact.
