Hi, I’m Azeem Azhar. I convene Exponential View to help us understand how our societies and political economy will change under the force of rapidly accelerating technologies.
Related to: "More and more companies are ending their commitment to the 'traditional' work day." There is a psychological impact here when performance evaluations and productivity metrics aren't defined. The average worker sent to work from home or work in a more unstructured environment that doesn't have a clearly defined way to evaluate their own performance in the context of the company's needs and missions will end up working _longer_ that the traditional 5 days/40 hours--with many putting in longer and weekend hours because of uncertainty. These companies ditching traditional structures are aware of that and are taking advantage.
Just my opinion, but there's been a little too much "follow the clickbait/celebrity/meme" in this newsletter lately... and converting from open, virtual meetings to the exclusivity of Clubhouse for some of the items does a disservice to the community--especially for paying members.
