The way we work is getting a massive reboot. Overemployment, quiet quitting, and career catfishing are no longer fringe trends—they’re reshaping the job market. While big companies double down on layoffs and RTO mandates, employees are optimizing for flexibility, multiple income streams, and autonomy. Our deep dive into data from 500,000 users shows a clear shift: people are ditching corporate careers for part-time gigs, SMBs, and freelance work. This talk breaks down what’s driving the change and how startups and businesses can stay ahead by rethinking hiring and retention strategies. In this session you will learn how and why

Flex is the future as 96% of workers prioritize gigs that fit their lifestyle, making SMBs the top choice.
The corporate dream is dead because people now value freedom and time over titles and salaries.
Boss vs. Worker showdown is real as layoffs and RTO push employees to stack jobs and outmaneuver the system.
SMBs are the new power players since they’re grabbing top talent fast and at a fraction of the cost.
