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.

If you get rejected from a job, should you ask for feedback? Unfortunately, once a hiring manager has decided not to offer you the role, there isn’t likely anything you can do to change their mind. But on the other hand, following up can at least help you stay on their radar—and maybe you can learn what to do better next time. In a recent Pressing Questions column, Kathleen Davis dives into when and how to go about asking for feedback in these situations: https://bit.ly/3Lrgrmg Then, after you read the column, tell us in the comments about your experience—good or bad—asking for feedback after a job rejection.

J.D. Vance has undergone a full-scale MAGAmorphosis. But on issues from antitrust to chips to broadband, his tech agenda looks more like Biden's than you'd think. https://lnkd.in/gWdq8SJU

Maybe you caught the news that NYC is going to start putting its trash in trashcans? We did, but we still had questions. So Grace Snelling called up Joshua Goodman from the NYC Department of Sanitation to have a conversation about what's really happening with the city's trash. Here's everything you need to know about how NYC plans to "containerize" the 16 billion pounds of trash the city produces each year. My favorite takeaways: -NYC has long had troubles with trash. In the 19th century the city was littered with horse carcasses ( 😬 ) because there was no waste management plan. -The city produces 16 billion pounds of trash every year. 16 BILLION POUNDS. Every day, residents create 24 million pounds of trash, in case you were curious. -The city's new plan to put trash in containers requires a new custom truck that can lift up the big containers that high-density commercial + residential buildings will use. NYC had to design the trucks from scratch. You can read all of their conversation here: https://lnkd.in/e_xGJYdA

It can seem impossible to predict the future, but when I interviewed Christina Schelling, chief talent and diversity officer at Verizon about the future of work, she told me she was taught to make predictions about the future while working for the CIA. Perhaps the most pressing unanswered question about the future of work is how leaders like Schelling will embrace AI—and whether the technology will merely take over certain less desirable tasks or replace workers entirely. Read the full article to see what Schelling predicts the future of work will entail.
