Billions of dollars and countless time is spent each year to improve the employee and customer experience, and yet each year, surveys show that we’re more miserable than ever. The effects of this misery crop up in all kinds of symptoms: the remote/hybrid workplace debate, rampant imposter syndrome, and fears of having our jobs replaced by AI. In response, we throw more money at these symptoms, rather than seeking the root cause of our unhappiness. With all this in mind, it begs the question: is the way we work working?
