☆ I was fired from Shopify after the big layoff. I felt disposable and overworked, and I'm much happier now that I'm gone.

Osuji says he now works in construction because he couldn't find other support work. When you're working an entry-level position as I did, you feel disposable. [Editor's note: A Shopify representative told Insider in a statement that the company's turnover in Shopify Support is "lower than typical contact centers," though they did not disclose the rate.] I work in construction nowSince Shopify, I've been working in construction doing physical labor because I couldn't get other support work. But even though construction work is physically dangerous, my mental health is better: It's way less stressful than working at Shopify.
☆ Enerza is developing a robot named Boa that uses 5G to snake across power lines and report looming problems to utility companies

Toronto startup Enerza built a robot named Boa that uses 5G to report problems to utility companies. "Remote areas suffer quite a bit from utility outages," said James Aein, CEO of Enerza, a 5G startup based in Toronto. Enerza is prototyping and patenting a robot named Boa that snakes across power lines to report back to utility companies on looming problems — and potentially prevent mass outages before they start. "That leaves a five kilometer radius of where the precise power line experiencing the problem could be." In some Canadian provinces, like Yukon, a major culprit behind power outages are iced power lines.
☆ Meet a Gen Z remote worker who told her boss she was quiet quitting for the sake of her health: 'I need to do my role as defined, but also not apologize for who I am'

That's why she's quiet quitting, doing only her job as described and no more. Cobb told Insider her autoimmune illness and a concurrent ADHD diagnosis made her a completely different type of employee. "It was the cycle of getting up, working evenings, working weekends, and that combined stress with the fatigue that I was feeling. And I found ways to make sure I'm logging off at 5 pm, making sure I'm doing those quiet quitting things. I need to do my role as defined, but also not apologize for who I am."
