Welcome to the Policy People Podcast. In this conversation, I explore the remote work revolution with Denis Pennel. We discuss the pandemic and the acceleration toward remote work, the three sources of meaning individuals derive from work, new metrics for measuring output, the breakdown and rebirth of collective action, the risks of exploitation and dystopian micro-management tools, reskilling and lifelong learning, ageism in the workplace, think tanks and labor policymaking, universal basic income and many more topics.
