Great point, @timglowa.bsky.social.
Employer markets don’t stay employer markets forever.

10 companies hiring hundreds of remote jobs—some roles pay as much as $145,000 per year Lots of jobseekers still want fully remote work. Companies like UnitedHeath, CVS Health, and General Dynamics are hiring.

If you’re looking for a remote job, check out the companies still hiring for remote roles in the article below (and there’s more not included).

Remote work is still in high demand but is getting harder to find. Only 9% of U.S. jobs on LinkedIn are fully remote, and yet these roles attract almost 40% of applications. It’s a clear sign that flexibility remains a top priority for workers.

The great news? Sponsorship is a win-win, as both the sponsors and protégés gain career benefits. If you are in a leadership role, pay it forward by sponsoring other emerging leaders along the way.

A sponsor not only provides visibility but also actively creates pathways for advancement, which are powerful tools for moving their protégés into higher levels of leadership within an organization.

Why is this difference important for women at work? Studies have shown that having a sponsor is a game-changer for women’s career progression.

While mentorship focuses on personal and professional growth, sponsorship directly drives your career advancement.

A sponsor, on the other hand, is an advocate who actively champions your success. They leverage their influence to open doors, endorse you for key opportunities, and put your name forward when strategic decisions are made.

A mentor is a trusted advisor who shares wisdom, experience, and guidance. They invest time to help you navigate challenges, refine your skills, and shape your career path. Their insights and feedback are invaluable for self-improvement and long-term development.

Mentorship and sponsorship are important for career advancement, yet they offer distinct support. The distinction is especially important for women at work to know.

In today’s dynamic work environment, leveraging AI doesn’t mean sidelining people—it means enhancing our impact. Embracing technology while valuing human skills creates a future where both coexist to transform business.

The real power lies in blending AI with human ingenuity to drive innovation and meaningful connections.

AI agents are reshaping the workforce by automating routine tasks and delivering rapid insights. Yet, while technology boosts efficiency, human skills like creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking remain irreplaceable.

With so few job opportunities, many workers feel stuck and uncertain about making career moves right now—unless they have to. I’m curious to see how employees and employers continue to respond to economic uncertainty over the coming months.

Private employers added just 77,000 jobs in February, far below expectations, ADP says Private sector job creation slowed to a crawl in February, fueling concerns of an economic slowdown,

Private-sector hiring slowed sharply in February, according to ADP’s latest report. Companies added only 77K new jobs—the smallest gain since July—which falls far short of January’s big jump of 186K new jobs & about half of what was expected for Feb.

And the worst, I was that red eye window seat passenger who had to wake up my row to exit halfway through the flight. Sorry to the ladies in row 21. 💕

Now waiting for my connection after only getting 1 hr of not true sleep. It’s going to be a long day!

I tripped and fell over my suitcase wheels going into breakfast.

I tripped and fell on a different bag getting out of an uber.

Yesterday was a weird travel day.

I set off the hotel fire alarm by taking a *shower*. Nothing happened. It just faded away while I was hurriedly getting dressed. No one called or came to check. So weird.

It’s beyond time to expand access to workplace flexibility for our frontline workforce. This isn’t just about being good for people; it’s about driving engagement, productivity, and ultimately, business success.

Adopting smarter workforce management technology (like automated scheduling systems) allows employees to swap shifts, split shifts, or choose their hours without manager intervention.

In industries like manufacturing, retail, hospitality, distribution, and logistics, traditional shift patterns can hinder life work integration.

New research from UKG shows 88% of frontline workers, many balancing childcare (53%) or eldercare (13%) responsibilities, struggle w/working rigid schedules. Nearly 1/2 are seeking more flexible hrs, w/compressed workweeks or part-time options high on their wish list.

Time for your periodic reminder: office workers aren’t the only people who can work flexibly. Workplace flexibility is not only possible, it’s also vital for frontline employees.

Together, these findings and my previous work highlight that in an AI-driven future, human skills like empathy aren’t just nice to have—they are critical levers for success in building workplaces where wellbeing and innovation thrive.

❤️ The Connection Gap
While 82% of employees see an increasing need for human connection, only 65% of managers recognize its importance—a disconnect that underscores the urgent need for leadership to prioritize empathy.

🧠 Strategic Shift
93% of active AI users agree that AI frees them to focus on higher-level work, fueling creativity and innovation.

🔎 Human Skills in Focus
As AI automates routine tasks, uniquely human skills like empathy, ethical decision-making, relationship-building, and conflict resolution are continuing to emerge as critical skills for success.
