The Highs And Lows Of Remote Working

An article from the New York Times has highlighted a rather interesting conundrum to the work from home system a lot of companies have adopted in response to the pandemic. Major studies have found that working from home has a negative impact on younger or junior level employees. First, we discussed the study’s findings, as well as the role feedback plays in building a career, and how that shifts depending on your seniority. Then, we hear from our listeners on the importance of feedback to them, as well as the best and worst they've ever received.
