Today on the Business of Tech podcast, Dave Sobel discusses the challenges remote employees face with higher layoff rates and lower promotion rates. Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Fain propose a shorter work week to address long hours compared to global peers. Additionally, generative AI adoption is recommended to combat slowdowns due to copyright concerns. Dave also delves into the impact of return-to-office mandates on firms' financial metrics and employee satisfaction levels. The episode explores how such mandates may be used to reassert control over employees and points to declines in overall job satisfaction and work-life balance as a result.
