Your coworkers are not your friends — and in 2026, confusing the two can quietly damage your career. In this episode of The Grind Hotline, we break down how modern workplaces actually operate under layoffs 2026, restructuring, and internal competition, where incentives, pressure, and survival drive behavior more than loyalty.
