PODCAST EPISODE #48

Blind Loyalty Is Gone: How Morning Brew Navigates Shifting Work Trends

What do today’s professionals *really* want from work? In this episode of The Great Retention, Kamber sits down with Kyle Hagge and Kaila Lopez, co-hosts of Morning Brew’s Per My Last Email, to explore how loyalty, communication, and culture are shifting in real time. They share why younger workers are still committed, but no longer blindly loyal, and why leaders shouldn’t overcomplicate generational differences. Kyle and Kaila also defend the role of middle managers—too often overlooked as companies flatten their structures. Looking ahead, they discuss how AI is reshaping expectations and why “personality hires” may become the bridge for hybrid teams. Most importantly, they explain why, despite the challenges, it’s actually an exciting time to be at work. This is a conversation full of fresh perspective and future-focused ideas… you won’t want to miss it.
