“What’s the real reason we’re quitting our jobs?” In June we put a tasty looking cake on the cover of Stylist with the words “I quit” carefully iced on the top. The article that accompanied it focussed on the growing number of people quitting their jobs as they emerged out of lockdown. It rapidly became our most-read feature of the year. Now there are almost weekly news headlines about the number of people quitting their jobs, and an explosion of advice columns on how to know if you really should. Not that people seem to want the advice… In America, four million people handed in their notice in April – the highest number since resignation records began in 2000. In the UK, 38% of employed people are looking to leave…

THE MEANING OF LIFE IN 22 PROBING QUESTIONS Yvonne Orji What will the Insecure and Vacation Friends actor make of our existential questions? WHAT IS THE MEANING OF LIFE? To pursue your purpose and find happiness. Once you find love, yourself and the thing that you were put on this Earth to do, that’s it. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG? The feeling that we get when something’s right. There are some things that are universally and legally wrong and then there are things that are wrong for us personally. WHERE IS YOUR HAPPY PLACE? Outside with the sun on my back and feet, overlooking a beautiful ocean. NATURE OR NURTURE? You can’t have one without the other, so both. Everything adds up, so where you’re raised, how…

I was there at the very beginning, hooked, lined and sunk into the mindless television of bronzed bodies bumping and grinding into the night. Sold as young people trying to find love, its early iterations were authentic and captivating. But while the world has undergone drastic and necessary changes over these past years, Love Island hasn’t. Pre-pandemic, I had already given up. As…
