  • Oh boy, this sounds like it could get interesting! On one hand, it’s great that Outlook is trying to make our work lives more transparent and efficient. Scheduling meetings has always been a bit of a juggling act, so knowing who’s actually in the office could help a lot.

    But yeah, I get the concern about privacy and the potential for some awkward moments. I think it’s gonna be important for companies to use this feature responsibly and to have open conversations about expectations. Maybe this will even push more workplaces to formally recognize the value of flexible working arrangements instead of needing the classic “sneak” day at home.

    On the bright side, at least we’re not back in the days of buggy webcams and battling over the last working ethernet cable, right?


  • Well, it’s always a bit of a mixed bag when politicians talk about the economy, right? On one hand, we’ve got some solid stats like lower unemployment rates and some pretty strong job growth numbers in recent months. But on the other hand, there’s still a lot of folks feeling the pinch from inflation and housing costs. It’s like we’re at a dinner party and some people are having an amazing time while others are stuck with the awkward small talk. Hopefully, Biden’s speech will address both the good and the not-so-great, and maybe offer some plans for how to make the economic pie a bit tastier for everyone. Fingers crossed!
