    033 - July 2024

    We are more than halfway through the year and halfway through summer. The world of work has not thrown as many surprises at us over the last month but enough to ensure that Greece’s six day work-week did not feature in our top three. With Foxconn keeping married women out from certain roles, a promotion recession and neurodiversity becoming a valuable qualification for some, July had enough to keep us busy.  Join Ankita & Apoorva as they chat about what they’ve been up to along with the latest on work.  And don’t forget to take a vacation before the summer is out!  Greece 6-day work week: https://www.dw.com/en/greece-a-six-day-work-week-the-country-hopes-to-kick-start-economy-through-longer-hours/a-69421393?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-gb Foxconn: https://www.reuters.com/investigates in/special-report/foxconn-apple-india-women/  Promotion Recession: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-06-09/entry-level-workers-struggle-to-get-jobs-senior-staff-misses-promotions?utm_source=website&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=linkedin?sref=QnKyEnuc  Dry Promotions: https://hrme.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/workplace/dry-promotions-a-sign-of-recognition-or-exploitation/109728482 https://www.fastcompany.com/91139510/when-should-you-turn-down-a-promotion  Neurodiversity: https://www.wsj.com/lifestyle/careers/jobs-for-the-autistic-grow-beyond-tech-b4eee329?st=tzyuhny5pd1rpy1   OpenAI: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-17/openai-dissolves-key-safety-team-after-chief-scientist-ilya-sutskever-s-exit Vacation Read: https://www.fastcompany.com/91146223/if-youre-struggling-to-find-focus-after-vacation-read-this

    031 - April 2024 - Google firings, 2024 Work Trend Index & Starbucks DEI move

    April has been a whirlwind of developments. It was tough to choose, but here are our top stories from the month gone by. Google faced significant turmoil as a group of employees protested against the company’s cloud contract with Israel leading to 50 employees being terminated. Meanwhile, Microsoft's 2024 Work Trend Index report provides a fascinating look at how AI is transforming jobs and how we work, with interesting takeaways on what we can do to stay ahead. Lastly, Starbucks shareholders voted yes to a decision to remove DEI targets from executive pay, raising larger questions about DEI as a priority for organizations in an evolving legal landscape in the US.  Join Ankita & Apoorva as they explore these three major developments, providing insightful analysis and context. They'll also touch on other significant stories that didn't make the main lineup. Expect some interesting tidbits with a fun fact about this very podcast to end the episode. May promises to bring even more intriguing updates. https://fortune.com/2024/04/22/sundar-pichai-google-staff-no-political-debates-office-firing-28-employees-israeli-contract-protest/  https://www.hr-brew.com/stories/2024/04/05/starbucks-removes-de-and-i-requirements-from-executive-pay-structure?mbcid=34981484.113659&mblid=e0bd4ab22f3a&mid=2f9fbdbb9111c845d9ce3ea3959601a5&utm_campaign=hrb&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_source=morning_brew  https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/worklab/work-trend-index/ai-at-work-is-here-now-comes-the-hard-part/  https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/commercial/ge-sells-crotonville-campus-13fd35a0 https://www.tomsguide.com/ai/forget-the-humane-ai-pin-this-new-ai-pendant-from-limitless-actually-looks-useful https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2024/04/ftc-announces-rule-banning-noncompetes

    030 - Dell's RTO power move, Novo Nordisk on stress and BCG's latest report

    To say that March has been eventful is an understatement. It was difficult to pick just three, but here are our top picks from the month gone by. Dell's move to block promotions for its remote workers is something we did not expect.  Does this set the stage for others to follow suit? Novo Nordisk, on the other hand, is doing everything it can to bring down its stress levels. Currently at an already enviable 14%, the target is to bring it down to under 10%. Lastly BCG's latest report tells us which benefit pays for itself. Join Ankita & Apoorva as they tackle these three events along with an insight into the other topics that didn't make the cut as well along with some fun facts and a glimpse of what's coming in our next episode. April is looking promising already. Dell's announcement: https://www.businessinsider.com/dell-remote-workers-promotion-return-office-push-flexible-work-2024-3 Novo Nordisk's stressed staff: https://fortune.com/europe/2024/03/22/ozempic-maker-novo-nordisk-goal-management-team-no-more-than-10-staff-stressed/ The report that said 53% fear in-office work for the rest of their life more than climate change, and almost half (43%) are more afraid of RTO than getting divorced or losing their romantic relationship: https://www.livecareer.com/resources/remote-work-fears-and-sentiments BCG Report: https://www.bcg.com/press/26march2024-childcare-benefits-pay-for-themselves Envy office: https://www.fastcompany.com/91067896/pinterests-new-office-is-a-pinterest-board-come-to-life Bernie Sanders on 4 day work week: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2024/03/13/bernie-sanders-shorter-workweek-senate/72959569007/  Apple's news: https://www.fastcompany.com/91087217/apple-mass-layoffs-iphone-maker-cuts-jobs-car-project-2024

    2023 has been quite the year! Join Apoorva and Ankita as they put a bow on the year and walk through the top three trends and events from the world of work in 2023.
