Description

We break down the now and next of work. You stay ahead.

Its not just you - work is bonkers. Burnout is high, trust is low, and everything is changing at breakneck speed. 

Friend-to-friend?  We get it. We're in it. And we're here to guide you through it. 

We’re two leadership insiders—and real-life friends—who’ve led teams, sat in the tough seats, and know first hand how fast, complex, and personal work has become. 

Every week, we break down what’s happening at work and to work, taking you behind the scenes of what's happening now, and preparing you for what you'll see in 6 months. We're bringing you breaking news, workplace trends, and interviews with top experts shaping the future of work. We cover what’s changing so you don’t get left behind.

Join us for smart, unfiltered (with the occasional f*bomb or two) conversations about how work is evolving and what you can do about it.

Great for: 

• Employees rethinking their careers and trying to navigate what comes next
• People leaders shaping culture and driving change while getting the work done
• Orgs wanting to build smarter, more profitable, more human workplaces
• Anyone craving more honest and practical conversations about the future of work

Topics we cover:

Future of work, leadership, workplace culture, team dynamics, change management, human-centered strategy, layoffs, burnout, performance, career growth, workplace news, workplace humor, and more.

Send us Fan Mail The Blue Wave is here. But will it actually change anything at work? Following a major shift in the political landscape, we're looking beyond the election headlines to explore what might happen next for workers, employers, and the future of work. Will DEI make a comeback? Could we see more protections for working women? Will AI finally face meaningful regulation? And could any of this slow the layoffs and restructuring already underway? Mel and Francesca unpack what the elect...
Send us Fan Mail September Work News Update: Where the Hell Is This Car Headed? September was…weird. AI is getting more powerful - and also getting fired from taking burger orders. Young workers are struggling to get a foothold. Companies are flattening, simplifying, cutting layers, and asking fewer people to do more. And while AI may be great for the economy, that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be great for workers. So this month, we’re zooming out. We break down three possible futures for...
Send us Fan Mail The skilled trades shortage is being called a $1 trillion workforce problem. But what if it’s a problem we helped create? For decades, we closed factories, moved jobs, laid people off, and told a generation that the path to a good career ran through college, not the trades. Now employers are scrambling for welders, technicians, electricians, manufacturing talent, and other skilled workers. We sat down with Toshiba CHRO Jason Desentz to talk about how we got here and, more imp...
Send us Fan Mail AI layoffs that may not actually be about AI. Entry-level jobs disappearing before anyone gets laid off. White-collar workers taking new jobs for less money. Women leaving the workforce in alarming numbers. And healthcare costs heading toward another massive increase. Yeah. August was a lot. In this month's Work News Recap, we break down five stories shaping work right now — what the data actually says, what we think is happening underneath the headlines, and what employees a...
Send us Fan Mail The hiring market isn't frozen. It isn't booming. It's something in between. Every week brings another contradictory headline. Companies are investing billions in AI while slowing hiring. Job postings are up, applications are flooding in, and yet organizations across industries still struggle to find the talent they need. So what's really happening? In this episode of Your Work Friends, we sit down with three leaders who spend every day inside today's hiring market to separat...
