This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Dan Meers, 57, who has played KC Wolf, the mascot for the Kansas City Chiefs, for 34 years. They were starting up a new mascot program — this new KC Wolf character — and wanted to know if I was interested. I've walked five women down the aisle dressed as KC Wolf. Now I've actually got a tuxedo that fits KC Wolf. This week, ahead of the Super Bowl, we've got 42 KC Wolf appearances in Kansas City.

A new LinkedIn report noted adaptability as the "top skill of the moment." LinkedIn's Aneesh Raman said this skill is important given how AI is emerging in the workplace. Adaptability is important too given the number of jobs impacted by AI. "The main takeaway for me is that communication, not coding, is the number one skill across jobs," Raman said. AdvertisementAs job seekers search for work in a labor market with 1.4 US job openings per unemployed person as of December, being adaptable could be important regardless of whether you're looking for work.

When the performance-management process started, it was a big surprise for me because prior to that, my husband won a prize from Amazon. For about two months, he was working his regular job and then on this extra work. I would accept if this had happened to me because I complain a lot in my job, but he doesn't. My husband was a role model for our child in part because of Amazon. My husband has a lot of shirts with Amazon on them.

Top workers are 16% less likely to want to stay in a job when an employer is strict on office days. A firm return-to-office mandate can also put off workers in general, according to Gartner. AdvertisementIf you're a star at work but your boss makes you head into the office, you're more likely to start hunting for a new gig. Research from Gartner indicates that high-performing workers are 16% less inclined to stay in their jobs when employers roll out strict return-to-office mandates. "What leaders often get wrong is thinking that employees are just trying to do less work or get more out of their companies," Duffy said.

Basis Technologies adopted a 4.5-day workweek by making Fridays a half-day. AdvertisementThe decision by Basis to make the workweek 4.5 days could offer an alternative for companies that are short-workweek curious but aren't ready to commit. Tinkering with FridaysIn the past two to three years, Barron said, Basis has experimented with a four-day workweek and half days on Fridays. But the compromise approach to giving workers more time away from work doesn't mean Basis has ruled out the four-day workweek altogether. "The four-day workweek is not off the table," Barron said.

When women knew AI, not humans, would review their job applications, they were more likely to apply. A researcher told BI that AI could be a useful tool but humans should always decide on hiring. It's possible that AI, working as a gatekeeper, will do a better job than humans at reducing bias in how we get jobs . Helping tech bros be less bro-eyWomen seeking tech jobs seem to be on board with AI as a surrogate recruiter, according to Leibbrandt's research.

In 2023, Business Insider's annual list of People Transforming Business highlights key players across the advertising, ESG, finance, AI, and labor sectors. Increasingly, they're turning to more opaque private credit markets to borrow money. The world of private credit sits outside the traditional banking system. Analysts expect the private credit market to balloon in size — likely keeping lawyers like Breen very busy. Muthukrishnan is trying to make sense of how risky these private credit loans are by overseeing what is so far the most comprehensive look at vulnerabilities in the industry.

That's the assessment from one venture capitalist, who recently tried ayahuasca for the first time. Investor Eddy Vaisberg, 33, told Business Insider ayahuasca could help founders gain better insights into themselves and others — and boost their creativity.

Sam Altman's ouster has been so unpopular that most OpenAI workers have threatened to quit.

Why Gen Zers skip their lunch break

Gen Z workers are most likely to skip lunch at least once a week, a survey found. Seven in 10 Gen Z workers report they don't take lunch at least once a week. That's compared with about half of millennial workers and four in 10 Gen Xers who skip lunch. Of course, not all Gen Zers skip lunch. Beyond what a lunch break does for us at work, eating at the right times can boost health, according to scientists.

Leaders need to articulate team needs; workers need to be honest about work-life prioritization. The flexibility of signing on from their living room leaves more time for school pickups, doctor's appointments, and meal planning, but it's more of a Band-Aid than a real fix for the pile of challenges working moms often face. For these women, who want to be great moms and have fulfilling careers, and some RTO mandates may make achieving both (or either!) AdvertisementAdvertisementTaking an individual approach to employees can help them do their best work — and meet the employer's needs — especially because many RTO mandates often fail to take into account what many working moms need, Scheib said.

Gen Zers aren't eager for promotions, partly because they believe management is unfulfilling. Gen Zers crave support, clarity on goals, a realistic career path. But actually, that's not the dream of many Gen Zers. For many Gen Zers, it can be easy to look at their managers and think, "No, thanks." The consultancy also found that Gen Zers think meaningful work is just as important as workplace flexibility when they're considering a job opportunity.
