Podcasts about office the big problem

We're thrilled to be joined by Anne Helen Petersen for this episode about the popularity of athleisure! If you don't already know, Anne Helen Petersen (she/her) is the incredible writer, journalist and recovering academic behind the beloved newsletter Culture Study. She is the host of a brand new podcast of the same name and the author of four books, most recently Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (co-written with Charlie Warzel) and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. Together we begin with a history lesson from Hannah about WWII's effect on the fashion industry, particular women's clothing and the rise of spandex. Hannah offers some insight from cultural critic Jia Tolentino and her essay, "Athleisure, barre and kale: the tyranny of the ideal woman." We then move on to some helpful framing from theorist Michelle Foucault, sociologists Daniel Nehring and Anja Röcke, and feminist scholars Julie Brice and Holly Thorpe. We talk neoliberalism, fatphobia, and, of course, our culture's obsession with optimization. We end with an honest discussion about the role of pop culture analysis in helping us navigate the murky waters of ideology.

Each episode looks at a unique object of study (something popular now or from back in the day) and over the course of three distinct segments, Hannah and Marcelle apply their academic expertise to the topic at hand.*Materialist Critique is, at its simplest possible level, a form of cultural critique – that is, scholarly engagement with a cultural text of some kind – that is interested in modes of production, moments of reception, and the historical and ideological contexts for both. Materialist critique is really interested in the question of why a particular cultural work or practice emerged at a particular moment.

In recent years, Greek life faced a crisis as the pandemic cast a shadow on recruitment, and the “abolish Greek life” movement grew across campuses. But then came #RushTok —  a flurry of TikToks documenting the sorority recruitment process among university campuses, especially in the South. One tag, in particular, soared to remarkable heights: #BamaRush. It chronicled the rush process at the University of Alabama and has garnered an astonishing 3 billion TikTok views (and counting).   This week we speak to writer, journalist, and former sorority sister Anne Helen Petersen, who  has been documenting the phenomenon. Why are the videos dominating our feeds? And what does RushTok's popularity say about its stars... and its biggest stans?  Anne Helen Petersen is a writer and journalist whose writing has appeared in BuzzFeed News, The New York Times, Vox, The Atlantic, and more. Her books include Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation.

Episode 77 is Part 1 of a 2-part Episode on Building Culture. If you aren't familiar with my story, I spent 15 years working in Entertainment Industry in a completely toxic work culture. After hitting my own personal rock bottom, I started over in the financial tech industry. I went from independent contributor to people leader all while going through a certification program to become a life coach. I have found my life coaching skills to be completely transferrable to my new position as a people leader and I'm sharing my thoughts & insight behind how I believe millennial leaders can shift the paradigm in front of us.In today's conversation I share my personal experiences with what I see working, what I see NOT working, and why I truly believe middle managers are uniquely positioned to create change and lead the corporate shift to a 'people first' approach.In our next episode we'll dive more into why I think people first matters and the realities that come with the emotional labor of being a strong people leader.Resources:'Social Responsibility at Work' Podcast with Host Angela HowardEP. 65 Creating More Human-Centric Workplaces with Angela Howard'Dare to Lead' Podcast with Host Brene Brown - Episode with Adam Grant & Simon SinekBooks: Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home;  Radical Candor:Be a Kick-Ass Boss Without Losing Your HumanityBlack Friday Sales:The Legal Paige Contract Sale! 40% off everything!

This is an episode from our archives. It’s re-airing as part of our new series, Think Again, a guide to reimagining work, home, relationships, and more.How’s your relationship to your job? For a lot of people, work-life balance has felt far from perfect for a while. Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu speaks with Anne Helen Petersen about her book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home, coauthored with Charlie Warzel. It’s all about how we can adjust the role our jobs play in our lives and focus more time and energy on the things we care about the most. Below are excerpts from the interview.

The pandemic has transformed the way work is done. For many, gone are the days of dressing up, commuting to an office, and working in-person five days a week. But with the broad availability of vaccines and boosters, as well as relaxed COVID guidelines, employers are increasingly encouraging employees to return to the office. Yet, not everyone wants to go back to the way things were. 87% of workers who have the chance to work flexibly take it, according to the American Opportunity Survey, conducted by McKinsey. Anne Helen Petersen is the author of four books including “Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home,” which she co-wrote with Charlie Warzel. Petersen joins WITHpod to discuss why the future isn't just about where we will work, but how. She also discusses the history of working from home, people returning to “ghost offices,” why reverting to pre-pandemic workplace norms could be problematic and more.

The pandemic-era work-from-home experiment has gone on for over two years now and for some, it's proven to be effective. For others, the isolation that comes with remote work hasn't been easy. As some employers ask their workers to finally return, we dive into the debate around working from home — and what a successful hybrid model could look like. We're talking to writer Anne Helen Petersen, co-author of Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home.

Over the past year, many places have returned to something approximating a prepandemic normal. Restaurants are filling up again. Airports and hotels are packed. Even movie theaters have made a comeback. But that hasn't been the case for the office. Only about a third of office workers are back in the office full time. And that isn't likely to change dramatically any time soon: Recent surveys asked executives about the share of their workers who would be back in the office five days a week in the future. In 2021 the response was 50 percent; now it's down to 20 percent.But the alternatives — remote and hybrid work — come with their own problems. In many cases, remote work has become synonymous with meeting fatigue, the collapse of work-life balance, overwhelming amounts of email and Slack messages and awkward attempts at social connection. And hybrid work setups often represent what some have called the worst of both work worlds: long commutes to half-empty offices, just to sit on Zoom calls all day.That leaves office workers in what feels like a work purgatory: The office is dying, but a new, viable model of work has yet to be born. And that liminal space raises all sorts of new questions: What will the postoffice future of work look like? And if the future of work means working from home in some capacity, how do we make that future better for everyone involved?Those questions are at the center of Anne Helen Petersen and Charlie Warzel's book, “Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home.” Petersen is a longtime culture writer who writes the newsletter Culture Study; Warzel is a veteran technology reporter who writes the newsletter Galaxy Brain for The Atlantic. In “Out of Office” they argue that the core problem with current remote and hybrid work setups is this: Workers have left the physical office, but they have taken the broken culture of the office with them. The result is widespread dysfunction but also immense opportunity: If we take this moment to rethink not only where we work but also how we work, then the possibilities are endless. We discuss:Why so many hybrid work arrangements feel so terrible right nowWhat workers actually need the office for Whether remote work is amplifying our society's loneliness crisisThe key differences between hard work and “soft work” How the switch to remote work has unveiled a work culture that was broken long before the pandemicWhat kinds of advances in work-from-home technologies we can expect over the next five years Why Petersen thinks the office of the future should look a lot like a college libraryHow the constant performance of productivity that workplaces demand actually makes people far less productiveThe difference between an individual creating boundaries between work and life and a company establishing guardrails to protect life from workWhether the shift to working remote will revitalize community life across America or undermine itAnd much more.Mentioned:“How Hybrid Working From Home Works Out” by Nicholas Bloom, Ruobing Han & James Liang“Hard Work Isn't the Point of the Office” by Derek Thompson“The Case Against Loving Your Job” by The Ezra Klein Show“Stop.

We're all in a process of reimagining when it comes to work, looking at the changes we've made over the last few years, and trying to figure out what we'll keep, what we'll let go of, and how else we might want to change the way we work in order to feel the way we want to feel. And, what so many are realizing is that we've got more power to reimagine every aspect of work now than we've ever had before. Question is, what do we do with that power? And what do we do with this moment of openness to new ways of working and living?These questions are what we dive into with today's guest, Anne Helen Peterson. Anne is a journalist whose wise, often irreverent, funny, and provocative writing appeared in Buzzfeed, the New York Times and more, before leaving the mainstream to become the voice behind the wildly-popular newsletter, Culture Study. She's also the author of four books, most recently Out of the Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (co-written with Charlie Warzel) and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation.During our conversation, we talk about everything from where we live and work to the traditional role of the 9-5 work week and how, as we look at what's important to us, companies, businesses and the promise of what remote work can bring, there's an opportunity to change the way we think about work which ultimately then opens the door to shifting old-schoolwork schedules and models across many industries. One of my favorite moments of this conversation is at minute 35:03 when Anne makes a really compelling case for the 4-day work week, showing how she's witnessed its success even in, as she calls them, “fuddy-duddy industries.” We also talk about Ann's power move from mainstream media journalist and big city living to going out on her own as a writer, starting her own subscription newsletter, moving to a remote island, and loving it all. If you're ready to think about working differently, this episode will be a beacon for you.

Sue Bethanis hosts culture critic and author, Anne Helen Petersen. A former senior culture writer for BuzzFeed News, Anne now writes about the future of work, celebrity, burnout, and more at her newsletter, Culture Study, as a full-time venture on Substack. She is the author of four books, most recently Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (co-written with Charlie Warzel) and Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation. Her previous books, Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud and Scandals of Classic Hollywood, were featured in NPR, Elle, and The Atlantic. She received her Ph.D. in media studies from the University of Texas and lives in Lummi Island, Washington.  Sue and Anne discuss these four key aspects of tapping into the promise of remote work: Flexibility – the future of work has to be guided by a new form of flexibility in which the work, not the workers themselves, becomes more malleable.  Culture – a company culture can be shifted, but it has to start with a dramatic rethinking of what management actually looks like, in and outside of the traditional office.  Technologies of the Office – so much of office culture flows from our technology, tools, and design. Here we can see the most profound changes the quickest.  Community – if work were not the primary organizing factor of our lives, we could restructure our relationships with our community outside of work.

Think you've been working from home during the pandemic? Writers Anne Helen Petersen and Charlie Warzel have news for you: You haven't. Rather, you've been sending more Slacks and going to more meetings in order to beat back stress and white-knuckle your way through this mess before we get back to the way things were... right? Legit flexible work requires intentionality, mindfulness, nuance—a.k.a. real structural and emotional labor. Instead, we've ported bad behaviors and cultural residue from the cubicle to the couch, thus delaying the arrival of a truly adaptive work-from-home future. The good news: We asked Anne and Charlie to talk to us about their new book, Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home, which reveals the rot inside our old systems and points out new strategies for transforming not only where we work, but also how we work.

Enjoy catching up with these recent conversations: McKay Coppins, staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of The Wilderness: Deep Inside the Republican Party's Combative, Contentious, Chaotic Quest to Take Back the White House (Little Brown, 2015), discusses the venture capital fund that's buying up local newspapers and driving them into bankruptcy and how the loss of local media is contributing to the polarizing political climate. Sandro Galea, physician and epidemiologist, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, and the author of The Contagion Next Time (Oxford University Press, 2021), argues that the problems in U.S. public health systems, including racial disparities, predated the pandemic and need to be repaired before the next crisis. Anne Helen Petersen, culture writer and the co-author with Charlie Warzel of Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home (Knopf, 2021), talks about what starting a career during the pandemic has been like for remote workers. Listeners who have taken part in the 'great resignation' talk about their decision to quit and what life has been like since.   These interviews were lightly edited to fit the format; the original web versions are available here: Who Is Really Behind the Decline of Local News?

Work from home was a necessity during the pandemic – but was burnout an inevitable side effect or all together avoidable? Charlie Warzel, contributing writer for The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the takeaways from work-life balance that have come out of Covid working arrangements, and what the future of corporate HQ might look like. The book, co-authored with Anne Helen Petersen, is called “Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home.”

In the new book "Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home" by Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen challenges us to rethink what it takes to make remote work work.This is not a book about working from home during the pandemic. It is instead about decentralizing work from our lives, and the deeper questions of how to create a humane work culture that embodies flexibility, fosters more inclusive company cultures, and values life outside the office as much as inside—and why this is good for employers too.

Has working from home during the pandemic been frustrating for you? You're not alone. Charlie Warzel and Anne Helen Petersen's new book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home tackles how remote work can improve, no matter what industry you're in. They talk to Sam about how companies can create sustainable and flexible work environments, the history of workplace culture in the U.S., and how employees can maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Just a few years ago, the possibility of working from anywhere made us wistful. With family and friends, we'd play the “what if” game: What if we could work from home? What if we could live somewhere warmer? What if we could move to another country? When the pandemic hit and remote work made “what if” possible, some responded, “why not?” And that's when things got complicated. Now we're faced with a different set of questions; Why should we ever return to the office? When we're not in the office, how do we make friends? How do we create an equitable work experience for remote employees? These are the kinds of questions Anne Helen Petersen and I talk about in this interview. Anne came on the show once before to discuss her book, Can't Even, about burnout and the millennial generation. I invited her back on to discuss her latest book, Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home. Anne and her co-author, Charlie Warzel argue that, when it comes to what work can look like, we're living in a time where the answers we arrive at have never been more important. We have an opportunity to make work better.

The hardest part of being a homeschooling parent in this era is the pressure of being caught smack dab in the middle of idealism and the Mamasphere. Anne Helen Petersen writes the substack newsletter Culture Study, which I've followed for quite some time. She's a cultural commentator and journalist, and is the author of four books, most recently Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home, which comes out in December 2021. We discuss the influence of the Mamasphere and why mothers trust the advice of other moms over experts or professionals.

Iceland just released the results of a four-year study of more than 2,500 employees in different fields whose work weeks were reduced by one day. Anne Helen Petersen, culture writer and the co-author of the forthcoming book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working from Home,talks about the study's findings and whether shortening schedules could work in the United States.

According to the research (and Zoom happy hours the world over) we're putting in longer hours, attending more meetings but doing less good work during all that time at the kitchen table—“half-work,“ in the words of one of our guests. As we rethink the office, what role can it play in helping to restore balance? And what's at stake if we don't? In today's episode, we're joined by Cindy Fagen, Managing Director of enterprise software firm, SAP Labs Canada; Anne Helen Petersen, journalist and co-author of the forthcoming book Out of Office: The Big Problem and Bigger Promise of Working From Home; and Jonathan Pearce, Executive Vice President, Leasing and Development, Office and Industrial, North America, Ivanhoé Cambridge.
