The next season of Women at Work. a pandemic and how they've grown from those experiences. I'm definitely more productive at work. I think I add a lot more value. I've got the promotion. That's the very obvious stuff. But I think that what is not so obvious is that level of satisfaction, that this was what I wanted, that I was so afraid to give myself. And it feels as good as I thought it would feel. And in some cases, the vibe isn't just positive, but celebratory. I'm specifically thinking about the episode where we showcase

amazing female leaders who supported their teams during the crisis. I called up Elaine on the last day of January and I said, I can't do this. I'm sorry. Thank you for everything you've done for me as a firm. It pains me, but I'm going to have to leave. And she went, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no. Let's figure this out. You hear about all the women who are forced to leave the workplace because the job isn't willing to meet them where they are. I don't want to lose my good people. Sometimes, though, good people want to leave a job, which is why we're devoting an episode to the question, should you quit? And in another episode, managers open up about how they actually feel when team members resign.

I think as a manager, you really have to show that you are supportive of people's decisions, even when that decision is, I'm not going to work here anymore. I feel that you do have to be supportive of what people are doing in their career and understand that. And that's what I was trying to convey, like, OK, I understand this. But to be fair, I didn't understand it. We'll also be checking in with women who started jobs at companies that didn't have remote or hybrid workforces before the crisis. How are these new hires doing? And those are only a handful of the many situations and topics we're tackling this season.

You'll hear perspectives, research findings, analysis and stories that help you forge ahead in your career. So tell your friends, tell your colleagues, and tune in soon.
