Happy & Succeeding In The Future Of Work
The Great Disconnect Between Bosses And Workers
The return to the office movement has highlighted the disconnect between executives, managers and their employees. Generally, the supervisors want everyone to come back to their offices. Meanwhile, employees are perfectly happy working remotely. If pushed, they’d be open for a couple of days in an office setting. Goldman Sachs and its CEO David Solomon epitomize the push to return to an office. Goldman, along with rival investment bank JPMorgan, has been at the forefront of trying to get bankers, brokers, compliance officers, traders and money managers to get out of their homes and into the headquarters.

Study Shows Instead Of Sending Emails And Texts, Consider A Conversation
In what feels like another world, it used to be that business people would have face-to-face conversations. If a meeting couldn’t be set up, a phone call was second best. Now it’s different. Most of the calls you receive are from robots trying to sell you a car warranty. Compared to Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers, Millennials and Gen-Zs are generally not as fond of picking up a phone to talk and prefer sending a text, email or posting on Slack. It makes sense as it’s a quick and efficient way of communication. You also don’t need to deal with the social awkwardness and discomfort of sitting in front of a boss or colleague.
