Why Don't Adults Get Summer Vacation?

About this episode

Is Gen Z Unemployable? And/or are the rest of us addicted to work? NYU Stern Prof and bestselling author Suzy Welch joins Nayeema in this first episode of the SGDQ “What Even is Work?!” series to figure out what we value and how we spend our days. Suzy breaks down the 16 values that organize our lives. You can take the test here. (get the *free* assessment or use SGDQ50 for 50% off). They analyze Nayeema’s results, which rank love and voice higher than, um, work. They also talk about trends from hustle culture, work as identity, “bringing your whole self” to work,  job hugging, and resume botoxing?? Yeah, Nayeema didn’t know what those were either.  This episode and the "What Even is Work?!" series are presented by @Zoom.
