I'm looking to speak to workers who have recently quit their jobs - and now regret their decision. If that's you, would be great to speak to you for a BBC article about the flip side to the Great Resignation. DMs are open #journorequest

As workers go hybrid the next dilemma is what to pay staff who have moved away - and whether location should be linked to pay, rather than just value creation.

From Big Tech to startups, I looked at both sides for @BBC_Worklife

We know thousands of people have left the workforce – but what does that mean for their former colleagues?https://t.co/j1CiD6ZlyW

For @BBC_Worklife I looked at how the Great Resignation is ushering a 'Great Flirtation': workers are now fluidly slipping between roles, landing better pay and conditions with each job hop

More meetings can mean less productivity for some. With remote working, meetings have ticked up, leading to higher burnout and Zoom fatigue. https://t.co/vJntAP00fh

Last year I spoke to an Olympic sprinter, a biomechanics expert and a weekend 10K warrior about the all-conquering Nike Vaporfly - and how a shoe could be banned from the Games.
