About the Podcast

The business response to COVID has seen that many employees are able to work (and manage) from the comforts of their home (or wherever) while those whose physical presence is required have no such option.

In this episode, JP, Mule, and our guests talk about the benefits and risks of working remotely; more specifically, the “Knowledge Workers” can work remotely, but the “Wrench Turners” still have to come to where the production happens.

Is there a risk of creating (or amplifying) a culture (work and social) that has defined classes; the elites and workers? How can those calling the shots understand and be empathetic with what is happening with those on the front line? What is the peril of such occurring, what are the signs, and how can it be avoided?

Discuss.

(Inspired by the Star Trek Episode; The Cloud Minders.)

Hosts:Joseph Paris, Founder of the OpEx Society & The XONITEK Group of Companies
 David Schneider, President of David K. Schneider & Company, LLC

    About the Podcast Topic: In this rare ‘hostly’ episode, Antlerboy finally gets a microphone that works, and he and JP decide that it’s about time they found out a bit more about each others’ live and, more importantly, Operational Excellence backgrounds.

    About the Podcast Topic: Antlerboy (aka Benjamin Taylor) continues to be plagued by substandard internet, although right in the middle of London and across the street to MI-6, yet can only get ADSL service to his office.  How can that be in 2019?  Broadcasting from home is not possible because Antlerboy is too “afraid” to tell his wife to be quiet as a mouse for…
