DtSR Episode 582 - RTO or GTFO with Bill Pelletier
Send the hosts a message - try it now!TL;DR:On this first episode of 2024, what better way to ring in the new year than to discuss the evolution of (knowledge) work? For this show, my friend Bill Pelletier joins as the Statler to my Waldorf as we discuss where knowledge work was a decade ago, where it is today (post-Covid), and what it could be if we thread the needle just right. In the end, one thing is for certain - the "future work experts" are not very smart, or they'd understand single-factor statements are stupid.Check out the YouTube video here: https://youtube.com/live/NeLsw10uUfYThe article in reference is here: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/ceos-finally-admit-next-return-133000281.htmlSupport the show>>> Please consider clicking the link above to support the show!-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=YouTube home: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyo0dkKRvfVtWXjRxNISrhme1MgBj3C2U&si=scHDiTuLXSEQ9qHqLinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/down-the-security-rabbithole-podcast/X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/dtsr_podcast
