The workplace is undergoing a profound transformation. For the first time in history, Gen Z now outnumbers Baby Boomers in the workforce, signaling a generational shift with wide-ranging implications. Yet, as Boomers begin to transition out of full-time roles, their contributions remain vital.

Performance reviews can feel daunting, but they’re a golden opportunity to showcase achievements, address challenges, and align personal goals with the company’s direction. Yet all too often, they’re a one-sided conversation, leaving employees wishing they had spoken up more. Is it any wonder then that performance reviews are widely disliked, even by confident employees and the most emotionally intelligent of managers?

If multiple studies and surveys are to be believed, employers are suffering an engagement problem—and there’s no end in sight. Concerns existed even before the pandemic brought upheaval to the workforce by making working from home the norm. That fundamental change didn’t go away when COVID eased, as whether to make everyone return to the office full-time is still a subject of debate.

The battle between many employees’ desires to continue to work from home and many employers’ demands that they return to the workplace rages on, with Amazon one of the most recent major employers to demand a return to office. According to Coworking Mag, there are more than 22 million U.S. workers who are working remotely—a number that has tripled over the past decade, driven primarily by experiences during the pandemic.

Employees have long been exhorted not to share their salaries with others. Of course, those exhortations have notoriously not worked, as a recent survey demonstrates. More than three out of five (61%), said they had previously lied to their coworkers about their salaries. The older they get the less likely that is to be the case with 67.35% age 18-26 admitting to lying about their salaries to colleagues, and only 28.95% of those age 59-77.
