The empty desk policy: Why remote work is the sustainability win we’re ignoring

Saskia Karges | Resilience

We are currently juggling a permanent rotation of global crises. And yet, corporate leaders are increasingly demanding a return to office. The logic? A superstitious belief that quarterly earnings can be saved by physical proximity. “It worked better in the old days,” they sigh, looking at spreadsheets with the nostalgia of someone yearning for the era of the telegram.

The future of work is here, but hiring hasn’t caught up

Debbie Dyson | Fast Company

Beyond office politics

Emerging Europe

Humans are there for judgement, taste, synthesis, persuasion, discretion and the awkward, non-linear business of deciding what matters. They are there to make sense of ambiguity, to read the room properly, to spot what the data misses and to take responsibility when choices have consequences. None of that is improved by preserving a large volume of low-grade activity simply because it once counted as work.

Why Do We Tell Ourselves Scary Stories About AI?

Amanda Gefter | Quanta Magazine

Our tales of AI developing the will to survive, commandeer resources, and manipulate people say more about us than they do about language models.

Actually, people love to work hard

Anil Dash
