Shownotes Transcript

Diana, Jess and Filip get together to talk about recent announcements from tech giants like Facebook and Shopify to have their work forces go remote-first. While this trend seems to offer freedom and choice for workers, how is it actually going to play out, and does it benefit the worker or the employer?
