Trigger Warning: The Truth about AI and Remote Work
Update: 2025-08-12
Description
Remote work and AI promised to make us more productive. The data says otherwise.
In this episode, we unpack new research showing remote workers put in about two and a half hours less each day than office teams, and studies suggesting AI tools can weaken critical thinking and slow skill growth. We explore what happens when these trends collide, how they impact career development, and why leaders need to address the issue now.
