Fast Company’s Post

Fast Company is proud to announce our fifth annual Queer 50 list, featuring a lineup of some of the most influential LGBTQ leaders in business, tech, and beyond. After a challenging year of anti-queer legislation and rhetoric, Queer 50 is a celebration of LGBTQ representation and influence. Honorees include those working on addressing responsible AI, trans rights, healthcare, and the future of work. Instead of ranking this year’s list, we chose to dive deeper into the accomplishments of 10 honorees: read stories about Roberta Kaplan, the attorney who represented E. Jean Carroll in her fight against Trump, and Jen Wong, the COO who helped take Reddit public. We’ve also considered all members of the LGBTQ community this year while still prioritizing the inclusion of historically marginalized gender identities.

Does work make you feel lonely? You're not alone—especially if you're a remote employee. For its 2024 State of the Global Workplace, Gallup published a mass survey of workers and their mental health over the previous year. Researchers found that 20% of workers experienced loneliness “a lot” the previous day. Specifically, 25% of virtual workers expressing that they experienced loneliness “a lot” the previous day. That compares to fully in-person workers, where only 16% of respondents reported the same loneliness. Let us know: Do you feel lonely at work? Vote in our poll and then tell us about your experience in the comments—whether you're remote or in person, lonely or not. Then read the full story here: https://bit.ly/4bbtoLu
