Work
What contemporary work asks of people, and what it leaves behind. Performance culture, periods of change and the move to building on your own terms.
The Price of Performance
The title, the salary, the track record. You bought in. All the way. And then the language changed. Human capital. Not people. Not your team. Human capital.
Gardening Leave
How it ends depends largely on where you sit in the structure. For some, access is revoked immediately. For others, there is gardening leave, a privileged space of panic and stress, or relaxation and pivots.
Building on Your Own Terms
Not everyone who builds a portfolio career chose it first. For some it followed a redundancy. For others it is a deliberate decision, whether that is early in a career or at a mid-career pivot.
