We are asking them for their boldest insights, whether it's a controversial prediction or an unpopular opinion. Nothing is off limits. We want to know what is really happening in the world of work. What is broken, and what on earth is coming next? So far we've had hot takes on AI, burnout, inclusion, and hard work. And this week we are bringing you our very first hot take from a Gen Z. We will be hearing from Will Giangrande, a psychology graduate, certified facilitator at Take Flight Learning, and founder of the 19-Year-Old Shrink podcast. Stay tuned for that
