October 5, 2026 · 19 min

Show notes

Hate your job but feel like leaving isn’t an option? Job hugging - where workers cling to their jobs because of economic uncertainty - may feel like the practical choice. On the Work It podcast, Nat Fetalvero, Gerald Tan and producer Ho Pei Ning discuss how to make the most of staying put, how to fall in love with your job again and how to recognise when it's time to move on.
