Episode notes

In this episode, we look at the pros and cons of remote, hybrid, and full-time office work — and the economics that keep standardization so appealing to management. We discuss how control, proximity bias, and outdated ideas about productivity continue to shape corporate decision-making, and why a one-size-fits-all model is the easiest way out, but rarely the right one.
