Technology was supposed to bring us closer together, but instead it’s fueling paranoia and mistrust—in the workplace at least.
The age of remote work helped women, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ+ community feel more included in the workplace. But bosses were never completely comfortable with employees having more flexible hours and greater independence, especially since some workers started using their new-found freedom to work multiple jobs at once.
Corporate leaders might be starting to gain an edge in the battle to have employees back in the office a few days a week, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be able to clamp down on their workers’ “overemployment.” Rapid advances in artificial intelligence could become the next ace up employees’ sleeve in their quest to fill up their days with as many side-hustles as possible.
