Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI. The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to. Enjoy!Public safety, disability rights, and remote work collide in a courtroom story with real‑world consequences. We walk through how two veteran gas dispatchers, armed with a two‑year record of high performance from home, challenged a return‑to‑office mandate—and won a sweeping jury verdict that included $2 million in punitive damages.We start with the nuts and bolts: what dispatchers actually do, why their work is safety critical yet desk‑based, and how secure laptops and telephony kept operations running during lockdown. From there, we trace the pivot: accommodations granted, then revoked; medical department approvals clashing with labor threats; and the extraordinary step of cutting off paid sick leave while approving FMLA. The defense centered on public safety, citing catastrophic explosions and onsite backups, but the plaintiffs countered with hard numbers, overtime logs, and a key question: if home connectivity was truly life‑or‑death, why were no safeguards required during two years of remote operations?We unpack the legal thresholds under the ADA and New York State law, then show how the New York City Human Rights Law flips the burden, forcing employers to prove an accommodation won't work or creates undue hardship. The judge sent the case to a jury, finding genuine disputes over what counts as an essential function for a dispatcher. The verdict? A decisive rejection of the “office presence is essential” defense, substantial back pay and emotional distress awards, and punitive damages signaling reckless disregard for rights. The takeaway is practical and profound: documented remote success now sets the benchmark, and employers must bring specific, quantifiable evidence—not speculative risk—to deny accommodations.If you care about modern workplace law, unionized environments, or how post‑pandemic facts are rewriting “essential functions,” this deep dive offers a clear playbook and cautionary tale.

The Government wants to find a balance to ensure remote working suits employers and their employees. The right to request a remote working arrangement was introduced as part of last year's Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act. The Department of Enterprise has now launched a public consultation to monitor if the arrangement is working for all parties. Employer groups and high profile business owners have come out against remote working but Minister of State Alan Dillon says everyone's voice has to be heard.

Billionaire businessman Denis O’Brien sparked debate with his claim that today’s graduates are “entitled” and that the public sector has become less efficient due to remote work. Is he right — or just taking aim at young people and civil servants? Jerry got the views of Fred McDonogh, managing director of Red Chair Recruitment, which is based in Killarney. https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2025/11/11/irelands-graduates-entitled-and-tax-regime-digital-colonialism-denis-obrien/

The ACC vs union work from home legal case is a good one and it became even better after the Westpac dispute in Australia last week. There are two bits to these sorts of cases. One was the specific, as in what's in a contract, what's the wording, what have you agreed to and what haven't you agreed to. Then you've got the moral question; the big picture, the team spirit and the attitude. Work from home is a symptom of all that is wrong with productivity and very few do productivity as poorly as this country. Covid wrecked the workplace. It allowed for work from home to be invented. Not literally, but generally for a period it was all you could do. From that moment a seed was planted, and the seed has grown into a mindset. Over a remarkably short period of time the idea became a habit, a right and, for some, the norm. Not just that, but so entrenched did it become in the minds of some that what was once not even an idea became something to be outraged about if the spectre of it ending was even uttered. Even though you have spent the vast majority of your working life going to the office. No one jumps on a get-out-of-jail card quicker than a union. I don't know what was, and wasn't, said at the ACC. But what I do know is work from home has become a gargantuan piss take. Don't get me wrong – you save on the commute, the cost of parking, and you don't have to worry about hoping the bus is on time. It all makes sense from a selfish point of view. The Australian case even had the woman moving miles from town so she could drop her kid off at the special school they had selected. Westpac said that was a lifestyle choice, which unquestionably it was, but tough luck said the court and the woman won. So maybe ACC are onto a hiding to nothing. Let's see. But specifics aside, work is a quid pro quo and taking the mickey, which is what work from home is now that you aren't locked down, isn't a balanced relationship. It's a material shift, born of necessity, and then abused. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I've spent 20+ years leading remote teams—first as an EVP at DreamWorks and a VP at 20th Century Fox and then as a 3x tech CEO. Along the way I learned that what actually makes remote work successful isn't what most people focus on…and I picked up some amusing stories that illustrate these learnings.I run a community of 34K productivity-minded people in The Sukha and I've heard your name from some of them. I'd love to join you on Becoming Parents - Birth Stories and Birthwork Wisdom to share the unexpected lessons from Hollywood and tech—things that remote workers and leaders rarely hear but need to know. I run a remote working community and I've studied the last 6 years about Flow States, tips and tricks to maintain focus while working from home. Sukha is the focus app for remote work.I'm having my first child (son/IVF) in November and this summer I am sharing lessons I've learned along the way.www.thesukha.co/media has fun content about my journey, things I can speak to with intelligence and humor, etc. etc.I run a remote working community and app.FIND HIM HERE:www.TheSukha.coSteven@TheSukha.cohttps://www.linkedin.com/in/steven-puri/

If you're working remotely across borders, or managing people who are, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Dan Howse, Partner at Tax Advisory Partnership in the UK, for part one of a practical conversation on cross-border working, social insurance, and how things have (or haven't) shifted post-Brexit.This comes up a lot in conversations with clients: someone living in Ireland, working for a UK company, or the other way around and nobody's quite sure where social insurance should be paid. Dan breaks it down clearly, covering the 25% rule, what employers need to know before saying yes to remote work requests, and the hidden costs that can catch you off guard if you don't plan for it.The key thing to note here is that tax and social insurance are not the same, but sound financial and tax advice from an expert like Dan Howse is the best way to find the best answer for you.Main Topics discussed in this Episode:Remote Working After COVID and Brexit: More people are living in one country and working in another but many employers still aren't ready for it.Social Insurance vs Tax: They're not the same, and mixing them up can cost you and should be addressed separately and deliberately.Cross-Border Rules Between Ireland and the UK: Despite Brexit, many of the old EU rules still apply between Ireland and the UK.Employer Responsibilities and Risks: If your employee works abroad, you could be on the hook; even if you didn't know.Why Individuals Should Care About Social Insurance: It's not just about payroll: this affects your pension, maternity leave and more.*****If you loved this episode or have a similar story, we'd love to hear from you!

In today's episode, we get real about task masking, quiet quitting, and the push-pull tension around remote work that every fundraiser and nonprofit leader is feeling right now. For many, being back at your desk doesn't mean you're actually getting more done; it might just mean you're playing the part. We dive into why forcing a return to office can create resentment, reduce productivity, and fuel resistance tactics like task masking. More importantly, we explore how nonprofits can shift to human-first workplace policies that actually make sense. Joining Maria today is Caitlin McBride, an experienced nonprofit leader who has been on both sides of this conversation. She's been remote, she's been hybrid, and she's seen firsthand how rigid office policies can miss the mark. Together, we unpack the nuance around what makes for a healthy, productive work environment in our sector. Remote Working in Nonprofits – The Highlights 1️⃣ Task Masking is Real, and it's Resistance, Not Laziness Task masking happens when employees "act busy" just to appear productive in office environments. It's a way to push back against rigid mandates and surveillance-driven leadership. 2️⃣ Remote Work Is Proven. Stop Pretending It Doesn't Work During the pandemic, we saw remote work boost wellbeing, widen talent pools, and help working parents and marginalized folks thrive. Ignoring this is ignoring evidence. 3️⃣ Not All Roles Need the Same Work Setup While fundraisers may not need to be desk-bound, early-career employees or socially isolated team members may benefit from face-to-face connection. Flexibility is key. 4️⃣ Micromanagement + Sunk Cost = Forcing Office Returns Some leaders push for office time due to control issues or because they're stuck in long-term leases. Neither is a good enough reason to disrupt staff lives. 5️⃣ True Productivity Should Be Measured by Outcomes, Not Presence Warming a seat is not the same as delivering impact. Nonprofits need to measure real outcomes, not how often people walk past a manager's door.
