🧐 The real reason bosses are freaked out by remote work. “In the minds of many bosses, work from home is an oxymoron.”
🤷 How much should you care about your job? “At the beginning of the pandemic, many workers found that the shift to fully remote work blurred the line between their working and nonworking hours. Bosses' increased micromanagement, adoption of virtual productivity-monitoring tools (aka bossware), and failure to reconcile dips in output with the overlapping challenges of the global pandemic led to overwork and additional stress. At the same time, the distance made it easier for some workers to disconnect emotionally from their job and prioritize other parts of their life.”
😫 How to Make Difficult Conversations Worse, as Seen on “Succession.” I’m pretty far behind watching Succession but I risked spoilers to read this. Even without seeing the episode, the common mistakes hit home.
