The 9-to-5 is cracking.
Gen Z isn’t asking for flexibility.
They’re building it—one micro shift at a time.

Work 9–12.
Pick up the kids.
Work 3–6.

No commute. No permission slip.
No boss telling you “that’s not how we do things.”

Why Micro Shifts Are The New Trend In Flexible Work
The gig economy broke the one-job model. Now micro-shifts, poly-employment, and schedule autonomy are reshaping work for Gen Z and the shift economy.

I almost said no. I’m so glad I said yes.
When a friend suggested I start a blog, I asked what’s a blog?
A decade later, the Future of Work is on Forbes.

The Career Ladder Is Gone.
What’s Your Next Move?
For decades, career progression was a one-way climb—get a degree, land a job, work your way up, retire. That formula no longer holds.
Today careers are shaped by the skills you develop, the experiences you collect, the choices you make along the way

Stop saying you made a career change.

You didn’t.

You didn’t start over. You didn’t go back to zero. You’re not “junior” again.

You built on everything you’ve done—and reached for the next hold.

Forget Billion-Dollar Companies—Will AI Create Billion-Dollar People? We assume AI allows organizations to do more with less people. But what if backwards? AI isn’t just in the hands of corporations—it’s in the hands of people. So what if the future isn’t about fewer workers—but fewer companies?
Will AI Create Billion-Dollar People, Not Companies?
AI is shifting power from companies to individuals. Will the future be about billion-dollar people building businesses outside of traditional structures?

Back to the Future is not a thing. It’s time to stop quoting CEOs debating return-to-office policies. Instead, we should focus on the leaders who’ve moved on and are redefining how—and where—we work. Like Jack Hidary, who turned RTO on its head. @jackhidary.bsky.social
