80 - This Episode Could've Been an Email

This episode we’re covering our professional gripes with a thin veil of science and talking about work research. Join us for a light-hearted, research based whinge about frictionless spaces for nomadic workers (or hotdesking), how meetings interrupt us, documentation makes us burnt out and just how judgemental we all are about email signatures. To wrap up, Hunter proves a point about windfarms to a random farmer he met on a plane and Amy waxes lyrical about comfort food.

Work Research:

The demands and resources arising from shared office spaces

Settlers, vagrants and mutual indifference: unintended consequences of hot-desking

Meetings and more meetings: the relationship between meeting load and the daily well-being of employees

The impact of time spent on the electronic health record after work and of clerical work on burnout among clinical faculty
