Send us a text
This week on Your Work Friends, we break down three headlines every professional should know:
- Career Catfishing: Monster’s 2025 report found 4 in 5 U.S. employees say they were misled about their job. We unpack what’s driving the trust crisis between workers and employers—and what good hiring should look like now.
- Open Enrollment 2026: Get ready for the biggest jump in healthcare costs in 15 years. We explain why premiums are spiking, how to protect your paycheck, and what to ask HR before you pick your plan.
- AI Actress Tilly Norwood: The entertainment industry just debuted its first fully AI-generated actress—and the actors’ union is calling it theft. We discuss why this moment matters for every industry that runs on creativity, identity, and human expression.
If you work in corporate America, HR, or leadership, this episode gives you the clarity and context to get ahead of what’s coming.
