在過去十年間,「穩定」曾是上班族追求的最大安慰:穩定的薪酬、穩定的工作時段、穩定的生活節奏。然而,這種看似安全的固定工作架構,卻逐漸被認為是壓抑自我與生活彈性的牢籠。朝九晚六的制度讓員工被迫在固定的時間內產出結果,卻難以迎合個人的節奏與生活重心。隨着混合辦公(Hybrid Work)成為主流,越來越多人開始重新審視「時間主權」──於是,「微輪班(Microshifting)」悄然興起。 根據專注 研究 混合工作的科技公司 Owl
最近在矽谷和華爾街的專業人士圈子裡,流傳著一些看似「好得太假」的招聘廣告︰遠程辦公、時薪高達90至375美元(約700至2,900港元),職位涵蓋諮詢、法律、放射科醫生,甚至社會工作。有報道指,在美國剛畢業的商學院學生Lola起初也以為是詐騙,直到她真的收到了來自有相企業的薪酬支票。不過,Lola在工作一段時間後,她就開始感到一陣寒意。 「AI訓練師」斷送自己職涯? 據知,Lola的工作不是幫企業解決問題,而是坐在電腦前訓練O
近年,愈來愈多都市人開始察覺自己對「出門應酬」的抗拒。下班之後,不少人寧願留在家中休息,也不願再花時間與精力應付熱鬧聚會。然而,另一種矛盾感卻隨之而生:一方面不想完全獨處,另一方面又不想再陷入高能量的社交消耗。於是,一種新興的社交形式——「Admin Night」( 行政 之夜)在TikTok及Instagram悄然流行。這種聚會既不是娛樂派對,也非純粹工作會議,而是一種結合陪伴與專注的新型生活儀式。 「Admin Night」是什麼?

前幾天約了舊同事Terry(化名)喝咖啡。他今年40歲,剛剛收到了公司的「解僱信」。Terry是我十年前的戰友,當年他是公司公認的「Java大神」,編程速度快、邏輯強,後端開發由他負責大家都非常放心。後來我轉職數次,做到了Tech Lead而他則留在那一家大型企業工作,一待就是12年。 他對我說:「Jerry,我真的不明白。我沒有遲到早退,工作上無犯錯,為什麼裁員名單上第一個是我?」看著他充滿不忿的眼神,我心裡其實很感嘆,但我必須
Designed by Freepik Polyworking is a 2026 workplace trend where individuals intentionally manage multiple professional roles, projects, or income streams simultaneously. While "moonlighting" (working a second job after hours) has existed for decades, polyworking is distinct because it involves integrating multiple roles into a single "portfolio career," often during overlapping o
以前上一代認為,打幾份工、沒有固定正職一定是「廢青」或者「不務正業」。但來到 2026 年,如果你只是死守一份薪水,你可能已經落伍了!歐美職場正掀起一股 「Polyworking」(多重職業) 熱潮,越來越多專業人士拒絕單一僱主,選擇同時擁有多個身分。這不是打散工,而是一種高階的「職業 投資 組合」! 1. 什麼是 Polyworking? Polyworking 不同於「打散工」或「Moonlighting」(秘密兼職)。它指的是上班族公開地、有策略地同時
The most powerful programming language of the future isn’t C++ or Python. It’s English. Jensen Huang: “Why program in Python? So weird.” You won’t write code anymore. You’ll describe what you want. If the result isn’t right, you won’t debug. You’ll just tell it to fix itself. The barrier to controlling computers is hitting zero. We’re shifting from syntax to intent.
