About this listen

 Episode one of Workplace traces the dramatic evolution of how and where we work. Host Marc Ellery begins with the Industrial Revolution's factory system, which first separated work from home and created rigid schedules. The episode follows the rise of office work, the invention and subsequent bastardization of the cubicle, and the open office trend that promised collaboration but often delivered distraction. Marc examines how the COVID-nineteen pandemic accelerated remote work adoption, forcing the largest work-from-home experiment in history. Throughout, he analyzes how technology has continuously reshaped workplace expectations and explores whether these changes have genuinely improved workers' lives or simply created new forms of control and exploitation.
