Episode Synopsis "The Great Resignation and The Relentless Rise of Work About Work"

Work about work: activities that take time away from meaningful work, including communicating about work, searching for information, switching between apps, managing shifting priorities, and chasing the status of work. How can we reduce it and redesign work for the 21st Century? This weeks podcast draws on information from a Zapier report  https://zapier.com/blog/report-how-office-workers-spend-time/  and a piece from Stowe Boyd  https://www.workfutures.io/p/the-ideal-worker-is-all-work-all?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoxNjQzMjI3NCwicG9zdF9pZCI6MzY2MDcwOTcsIl8iOiJidnp0WiIsImlhdCI6MTYyODYxOTU0NCwiZXhwIjoxNjI4NjIzMTQ0LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMTYiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.F0WZ_br_VZTbyivITvi2YeDqqQR62EJm27-Jo_CTIDE This episode is also available as a blog post: http://paulitaylor.com/2021/09/11/the-great-resignation-and-the-relentless-rise-of-work-about-work/
