I love how you framed this up, Elisa. It makes so much sense that we help companies help us and vice versa. Even though we've created this space of openness to other models, workers are still largely in a conversation with companies, who are saying, "What will you do for me?" How will you contort your life to do this job? Or do you not want it badly enough? And inevitably someone will take that role under those circumstances. I think the balance is shifting though. Fewer of us will consider that role without negotiation, without compromise -- and not just for more money.
This continues to be a worthy conversation. But it has seemed to have hit a peak during a global pandemic when both individuals and companies could not foresee an endpoint.
