Does Anyone at Big Tech actually Work Anymore?

Techish

In this episode of Techish, Michael and Abadesi discuss the comments made by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt about Google being a laggard in AI due to being 'too soft'. They also talk about the culture of big tech companies and the perception that employees are not working as hard when they work from home. They touch on the importance of vision and hunger for success in driving innovation. The conversation then shifts to the labor law in the UK that prohibits bosses from contacting employees after work hours, and the debate around work-life balance and accessibility. They also discuss the reputation of musician Lauryn Hill and the challenges she faces with ticket sales and her perceived attitude towards fans.
