Dr. Helmut Schuster and Dr. David Oxley, leading career experts and authors of Artificial Death of a Career, unpack the rise of “job hugging”—a growing workplace trend where fear and comfort override curiosity and performance. They explore how economic uncertainty has made job hugging a rational yet risky choice, why it reflects systemic leadership failure rather than employee complacency and how organizations can rebuild cultures that reward courage, clarity and contribution.
