Israeli troops are gearing up to enter Gaza city, bracing for the next round of urban warfare. Our correspondent spends some time with a brigade on the front-lines. How prepared are they for the task ahead? The pandemic is over, so why are consumers still staying home, alone, and withdrawing from social activities (09:16)? And, why Gen-Z isn’t the only group “quiet quitting” (17:40). Audio clip courtesy of Zaid Khan (@zaidleppelin).

Hustle culture pushes us to go above and beyond in our jobs to be successful and to define ourselves by our jobs. However, there is a generation and movement taking hold that rejects that pressure and the expectation to go ‘above and beyond’.

In this week’s episode, Sarah and Emma are taking a look into the viral sensation alternative to quitting - ‘quiet quitting’. We talk about why you might be tempted to quiet quit, some things to consider before you do, and some alternatives to address the underlying causes.

🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Riley who was moving to a new city for college and was nervous to be interviewing for career level opportunities. She listened to nearly all of our episodes including the pep talk right before she went in. She said our tips and reassurance helped her feel so confident in her interview. Her interview went amazing, they were super impressed and made that really clear before she even left the interview! She got the call the next day with the offer and she was so grateful and excited! She also added “Oh and I took the notebook in!” Congratulations Riley!
