Additionally, generative AI adoption is recommended to combat slowdowns due to copyright concerns. Dave also delves into the impact of return-to-office mandates on firms' financial metrics and employee satisfaction levels. The episode explores how such mandates may be used to reassert control over employees and points to declines in overall job satisfaction and work-life balance as a result.
