Women in corporate America aren’t burned out because of how much
they’re working—they’re burned out by how much the system isn’t
working for them. Today, Sammi breaks down the latest Women in the
Workplace report from Lean In and McKinsey, and the findings are
more alarming than the headlines suggest. For the first time in
over a decade, women are less interested in climbing the corporate
ladder—not because they don’t want success, but because the ladder
itself is broken. Sammi unpacks the data behind the growing
“ambition gap,” the consequence of rolling back DEI efforts, and
why women are still being penalized for flexibility and remote
work—while men aren’t. Sammi connects the dots between
structural corporate failures and the rise of an entirely new
career model—one that could define the next decade of work in
America. If companies don’t adapt, Sammi says, they may be staring
down a long-term talent crisis. Follow Sammi on Instagram
