The pandemic could change that.

Hey readers, this week we considered the way the pandemic has impacted how we work — and whether it could clear the way for a more empathic and flexible approach.
Work looks different today. It looks like your boss in a hoodie. The books on your colleague’s shelf. A newscaster’s cat. When we interviewed people for this article, asking them about the shifting landscape of work amid the pandemic, were were surprised at how many times we heard the word “human.”
The coronavirus has shaken our sense of security, exposing chasms of instability and inequity along fault lines that already existed in the mantle of society. But it has also exposed our humanity, the private portions of our lives we pack away before commuting to the office, the fine lines we walk between personal and professional, the unraveling threads by which so many in this country are just barely hanging on.
When we eventually emerge from the panic state into whatever life-after-coronavirus looks like, experts are genuinely optimistic that work can foster our humanity instead of punishing us for being human.
What do you think? We'd love to hear from you. Cheers, Laura, Amanda and Kyla |
