Our relationship with work is complicated. By the time we get to our forties we may have fallen slightly out of love with the meetings, politics, gossip, meaningless team building exercises, passwords that have to change every three days and young, fresh talent making us feel like we don't really matter anymore or have anything meaningful to offer. This week Anniki talks to author Annie Auerbach all about how to feel more confident in our day jobs, how work doesn't have to be the be all and end all and how to stop feeling threatened by millennials and learn great things from them instead. Annie is the author of 'Flex: The Modern Woman's Handbook' and a big advocate for flexible working (which in theory everyone should be getting used to now that many of us are working at home (if we're lucky enough to have jobs during these testing times).
