Rees-Mogg and lies leaders tell themselves

Jacob Rees-Mogg MP, the British government minister responsible for efficiency, is busy bullying civil servants back into offices—with hissnotty memos and barrage of data-less articles about ‘slackers’ working from home, he’s as convincing as ever…

To be a bit more analytical about this, let’s have a look at research from the Future Forum Pulse, which gathered data from 6 countries (10,800 people).

When asked in October 2021:

• 75% of bosses said they wanted to come back to work 3-5 days a week

• Compared with only 34% of workers.

No big surprise—people with more space, power and pay enjoy being in the office more.

Before you watch the vlog and think about what really impacts on productivity, have a guess: What percentage of bosses are now back five days a week, compared to their teams?

Looking to hire black talent? If you are, my guest Milimo Banji, Founder of Gen Z talent agency TapIn, was one of the other speakers at the recent Economist conference. He’s a brilliant speaker and has answers you won’t hear in a thousand hours of the usual panels on this subject.

See you then.
