HBR IdeaCast: How to Get Out of the Hybrid Work Rut

With some high-profile CEOs demanding workers return to the office five days a week, and others touting the benefits of fully remote work, many companies compromised and ended up somewhere in the middle.

3 questions you should ask if you want a promotion this year
on www.fastcompany.com
Considering a promotion can be exciting, but it's important to ask yourself three fundamental questions first. Achieving a promotion isn't solely about wanting it or sticking around long enough.
