How Reddit and Spotify are both in the doghouse, micro-managers, mouse jigglers, and knowledge work as we know it
Description
Adair & Jordyn cover the Reddit debacle and this week's fallout as they prepare to go public, as well as discuss Spotify's shut down of acquired companies Parcast and Gimlet, which nobody seems too happy about. Companies are trying to get employees back into the office, and nobody wants to go, except for maybe the young folks that are making friends and finding dates in the workplace. They go in depth on the past, present and future of work, the struggles of trying to juggle children with traditional work schedules and how school and daycare schedules are often at odds with the M-F, 8-5 grind. Covid was an eye opening experience for many parents, especially, on how much better their family lives were with remote work flexbility. Also, are micro-managers behind the push to go back to the way things were?
