Linked - Women leaders are leaving companies at highest rate ever — www.mikemcbrideonline.com 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?
