The Impossible Juggle: Why Flexibility Matters for Working Moms—And What’s Still Missing
Saison 4 · Épisode 1
samedi 8 mars 2025 • Durée 38:10
Being a working mom is hard. Being a working mom with a child who has extreme medical needs? That’s a whole other level. In our first episode, host Jess Davies and Katie Martin, EVP of marketing agency Front Row talk about their personal stories of navigating intense caregiving journeys while juggling careers, and how they spent three years sending each other daily voice notes – across different continents – sharing the raw, unfiltered realities of balancing work and motherhood in impossible circumstances.
We also bring in sociologist and author Jessica Calarco, who unpacks why working moms across the U.S. are struggling more than ever, and Kelly Jones, chief people officer at Cisco, who explains why companies need to go beyond just offering benefits — they need to embed flexibility into their culture to truly support and retain working moms.
How AI can help managers with Bethany Lopušnak and Colette Stallbaumer
Saison 3 · Épisode 6
mardi 28 mai 2024 • Durée 49:10
If there is one thing that has revolutionized the working world this past year, it’s the surging popularity of generative artificial intelligence.
Technology like ChatGPT and Microsoft’s CoPilot can take notes for you, draft emails, summarize meetings, write performance reviews, provide tips for tough conversations, and as I’ve learned, even write you an introduction for your podcast.
It’s been revolutionary for middle managers who are looking for ways to streamline their workflow and get more time back to work on other tasks. In this episode, we speak with Bethany Lopušnak, a manager of benefits advisory services at Mitratech’s Mineral platform, who has ChatGPT open everyday to use as an assistant. She tells us just how much time using GenAI has saved her, what she uses it for, and how she encourages her team to take advantage of it too.
Later in the episode, we hear from Colette Stallbaumer, who leads Copilot and Future of Work at Microsoft. Being one of the earliest users, Stallbaumer shares her favorite and most useful prompts, how AI is helping managers save time, and how the technology continues to evolve.
Goodbye LinkedIn, Hello TikTok
Saison 2 · Épisode 6
mercredi 29 novembre 2023 • Durée 25:39
WorkTok, or CareerTok, is in full force.
Combined, those hashtags on TikTok have over four billion views. There are sneak peaks into “a day in my life” from the perspective of everyone from McDonald’s employees to top executives at Fortune 500s. You can hear people vent about how they struggle to nail a work-life balance and there are those who share their 9 to 5 routines and how they find time for fun things to do after work. And there are salary transparency videos and even tips from career experts on how to land a job.
In fact, Gen Zers are swapping LinkedIn for TikTok, realizing they can find job opportunities in an environment that is more attuned to their career and workplace goals and hopes. Andrea Moreno, who we speak to in this episode, is one of them. She landed her job as a PR account executive thanks to a TikTok connection.
Also in this episode we speak to a WorkTok creator, Jerry Lee. His account is devoted to giving career advice, including how to optimize the job search process, how to write a better resume, how to ask for a raise and even how to deal with passive aggressive co-workers. Shola West, a Gen Zer, has also dedicated her TikTok to covering career tips, leaning into building her own brand as a young professional working in media and marketing.

And now we want to hear from you. If you’re a member of Gen Z, or a manager of one, or even a parent of one, we want to hear your thoughts on friend-torship, work-life balance, quiet quitting, and any other ways you think this new generation is changing the way we think about work.

Being a Gen Z boss
Saison 2 · Épisode 5
mercredi 15 novembre 2023 • Durée 26:02
Our whole lives we're told to look up to older people, learn from them and take their guidance. But what happens when a Gen Zer ends up in a leadership position managing people older than them?
We spoke to Gen Z bosses about the realities they face as they work with older generations. They’re bringing fresh perspectives that might be misunderstood by more seasoned workers. In this episode, we check back in with Jerah Reeves, who we spoke to earlier in the series, to see how he handles these dynamics. Reeves is the coordinator of the transformational leaders program at Binghamton University of New York, where he helps students – many of whom are older than him.
Leaders are getting younger overall. Nearly a third of newly appointed S&P 500 CEOs last year were younger than 50 years old, which is more than twice the rate in 2018, according to research from McKinsey & Company.

Does Gen Z Really Lack Job Loyalty?
Saison 2 · Épisode 4
mercredi 8 novembre 2023 • Durée 31:35
The days of working for one employer for the majority of your life are long gone.
Our relationship with work has slowly evolved over time. In 2022, 22% of workers aged over 20 years old spent a year or less at their jobs – the highest percentage with a tenure that short since 2006, according to data from the Employee Benefit Research Institute. About 33% spent two years or less in their jobs over the same period.
But Gen Z takes it a step further: they aren't even dedicated to a single employer at one time.
According to research from marketing data and analytics company Kantar, 40% of Gen Zers report having two or more jobs. That’s a figure that suggests that “quiet quitting” is no more than the need to be at their next job on time.
In this episode of The Return, we talk to two Gen Zers who have opposite beliefs regarding job loyalty. Kyle Lawerence stayed at his first job in the finance industry for 14 months, even though he didn't enjoy it because he was fully remote and it was hard to make connections. Julie, on the other hand, is juggling four to five jobs at any given time – her 9 to 5 and other gigs, like barista, cater waiter, and events coordinator.
Rikki Goldenberg, a career and leadership coach, breaks it down for us in this episode. How does a Gen Zer make the decision to quiet quit? And how does that turn into actual quitting?
Gen Z Wants to Change The World - Or At Least The Workplace
Saison 2 · Épisode 3
mercredi 1 novembre 2023 • Durée 35:11
In this episode, we break down how important corporate social responsibility is to Gen Zers looking for a job. Making sure that a company’s values align with their own is at the top of their checklist.
That mindset has impacted their job search, to the point they even say no to the highest paying positions to work at a company that closely aligns with their values instead.
Choosing a career that aligns with your values was the case for recent college graduate Aldrin Villahermosa II. Growing up on the island of O’ahu in Hawaii, he saw a shortage of healthcare workers and systemic issues in the public health sector. That's why he pursued a master's degree in public health.
And Gen Zers aren't just choosing a career that aligns with what they value – they're joining unions too. Genessee Floressantos, associate publicist, international sales at HarperCollins Publishers, tells us what it was like to be a part of HarperCollins' nearly 90-day strike.
How Are Gen Z Finding Mentors?
Saison 2 · Épisode 2
mercredi 25 octobre 2023 • Durée 20:19
In this episode, we talk about the importance of mentorship in the workplace. There’s an awful lot to learn from experienced workers, and there has been a long tradition of passing down that experience – usually, in the office. But when Gen Z entered the workforce, it was remote. How did that impact building mentorship in the earlier days of their careers?
Tracy Ziemer, one of host Cloey Callahan's first mentors, shares what advice she passed on to Callahan over Zoom at the beginning of her career. And Danielle Farage, a Gen Z entrepreneur, tells us how she is redefining mentorship with the idea of "friend-torships."
Gen Z’s Origin Story
Saison 2 · Épisode 1
mercredi 18 octobre 2023 • Durée 24:50
In this episode, we cover Gen Z’s origin story: they were raised to be resilient from the get-go. We discover how major world events – being born around 9/11, entering school during the time of mass shootings, then graduating into a pandemic – have shaped them as they enter the workforce today. And we meet Jerah Reeves, a Gen Zer who works at the Binghamton University School of Management in New York State, who had to leave behind his dream of being an NFL football player, and switch careers entirely, when Covid-19 hit.
Introducing The Return Season Two
Saison 2
lundi 2 octobre 2023 • Durée 02:53
WorkLife is proud to present season two of The Return, a podcast about what it’s like for Gen Z to enter the workforce for the first time in a post-pandemic world.
In season one, The Return followed an Atlanta-based advertising agency as the company returned to the office after a two-year pandemic hiatus. There were clear challenges among this population of workers who knew what a “normal” office used to look like. But what about a generation that is entering the workforce post-pandemic and has nothing to compare it to? That’s what we uncover across eight episodes in season two of The Return.
We see headlines repeatedly accusing this generation of being lazy, unmotivated, quiet quitters. But what's the real story behind this generation's attitude about work?
In season two of The Return, we speak with Gen Zers across the country to lift the lid on what motivates and inspires this young generation of workers, and how they’re not as work-shy as they’re often depicted. We also speak with seasoned workplace experts who can put the changing expectations of these young professionals into context.
We dive into why values are so important to Gen Zers, whether or not they are loyal to their employers, how they use TikTok for career advice, what it means to be a young professional who is a boss to older workers, and so much more.
Season two of The Return is hosted by Cloey Callahan, a Gen Zer and senior reporter at Digiday Media’s WorkLife, and produced by Digiday Media's audio producer Sara Patterson.

Flexibility Is The Name of The Game
Saison 1 · Épisode 4
mercredi 17 août 2022 • Durée 34:16
It’s been six months since Atlanta advertising agency Fitzco officially returned to the office. The team has weathered spikes in in-office Covid cases, blurring lines between work life and home life, and technological hiccups. But ultimately, it’s been a smooth transition.
In the final episode of The Return, we’ll do one more check in with Fitzco staffers Erick Arenas, Bryce Burton, Jennifer “Jay Jay” Jones, and of course, CEO Dave Fitzgerald. We’ll also take a final look at what the future of work could be.
