Maggie McGrath is the editor of ForbesWomen, the Forbes vertical dedicated to covering all angles of female entrepreneurship, and the author of the ForbesWomen newsletter. She loves a good Forbes list: she is the editor of the 50 Over 50 and the World's 100 Most Powerful Women, and previously edited the 30 Under 30 Food & Drink list and the Just 100. She's worked at Forbes since 2013 and in that time has written on everything from the student debt crisis to Triple Crown-contending (and winning) horses. Before coming to Forbes, Maggie worked with TODAY show financial editor Jean Chatzky.

have taken over TikTok chatter in recent months as Gen-Z workers continue to push back against burnout culture in corporate America. But according to a new report from McKinsey and Lean In, there’s nothing lazy about women who are seeking better work-life boundaries.

Women are reporting higher levels of ambition than they did before the pandemic, according to the 2023 Women in the Workplace report.“Something got into the ethos suggesting” that employees who wish to work remotely or flexibly are trying to do less work or are less motivated, Alexis Krivkovich, a senior partner at McKinsey, explained to.

Meanwhile, women—and particularly those from marginalized or historically excluded communities—are feeling like the office is a minefield of microaggressions: Close to a third of Black women and LGBTQIA women reported their competence or judgement being questioned at work, while 35% of women with a disability say they’re interrupted or spoken over more than their other colleagues.

Companies are also missing out on what women have to offer by continuing to neglect the “broken rung” that sees more men promoted to the highest levels of corporate leadership at higher rates than women. While women represent more of the c-suite than ever before—28%—women of color make up just six percent of all c-suite roles, and the Women in the Workplace data shows that progress is moving in the wrong direction.
