Podcast Summary

As many companies move towards asking their workforce to return to the office, Simone and Sam ask questions about whether presenteeism is necessary for a successful business?  Does reducing flexibility signal a return to negative work practices that will undoubtedly adversely affect women more than men and will the next generation of employees accept this anachronistic way of working?

Plus: facemask and vaccine conspiracies are again linked to social media being used as a source of news.

And there is good news about car insurance!
