Will the Office Survive the Pandemic?
The New Yorker Radio Hour 
About this episode
<p><a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/cal-newport"><span>Cal Newport</span></a><span>, the author of “A World without Email” and other books, has been writing about how the shutdown has affected businesses and the culture of work. Remote operation, he says, has raised fundamental questions about the purpose of work, its role in our lives, and how productivity is measured.

Tech companies that launched as fully remote operations, he thinks, have a head start on the economic advantages of ditching the office for good. </span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
