Listen "Working Flexibly – Charlie Warzel"
Episode Synopsis
This week we are in conversation with Charlie Warzel. Charlie writes the newsletter, Galaxy Brain for The Atlantic, where he is a Contributing Writer. Before that he was a writer-at-large for the New York Times Opinion page, and a senior technology writer at BuzzFeed News.
Most recently, he has co-authored Out of Office - with his partner Anne Helen Peterson. The book combines groundbreaking reporting and the couple’s own experiences after they made the decision to leave their desk jobs in New York City for Montana. They describe how workers and employers across America, and around the world, are finding new ways of working that make people happier and more productive, and make companies more profitable.
Today we'll be discussing:
- what's broken with how we currently work,
- how flexibility has historically benefited organisations, not employees
- why Gen Z are looking for a new relationship with work
- how to rethink our relationship with the office
- and new ways of working for the future
