33 Tangents - Episode #177 - Recreating the Office Virtually

2021-09-15

With the return to the office delayed indefinitely and the talk turning to the employees coming to the office on a limited basis or only when necessary, there is an undercurrent of “how are we going to manage these people?” This goes to a far extreme of employers considering software so they can “check in” on their employees at their desk which is disturbing on many levels. Are people that unoriginal? Is this mid-management realizing they are no longer needed if employees have autonomy? On this week’s episode of the 33 Tangents podcast, Jim and Jason talk about this alarming trend and what they see as the driver.
