It's hard to stay up-to-date on all the amazing future of work research that is happening right now. So, working with people around Microsoft, we put together a deck summarizing the research on the many ways work is changing: aka.ms/nfw2022 #newfutureofwork

THREAD: This is a story about how police are frontline propagandists. It starts with a violent robbery at a men’s clothing store in Manhattan. It ends w/ NYPD responding, but refusing to investigate. Then lying that no one would face any consequences bc of “reform.” Read on:

Come work with us to study the effects of hybrid work
30 Nov 2021
I'm looking for a great PhD intern to use causal inference techniques to understand the effects of hybrid work on information workers. We'll be using large-scale telemetry data to study collaboration networks and collaboration media and tying them to business outcomes.

When Mary Shelley wrote #Frankenstein in 1818 (aged 19), neither Jules Verne, nor Welles were born yet (Allan Poe was 9).
A teenage girl wrote what is still considered today the 1st science fiction novel. This article continues the long tradition of erasing her.

With Jules Verne and the publisher Hugo Gernsback, H.G. Wells invented the genre of science fiction. nyti.ms/3oN27IO

Research into post-covid work makes one thing crystal clear: Productivity isn't just about getting more done. As work moves hybrid, workplaces must center wellbeing, relationships, and innovation. New piece by @spjaffe, @bhecht and me in HBR today: hbr.org/2021/09/lets-redefin…

Our paper, just published in @NatureHumBehav, uses diff-in-diff to separate the effects of remote work from COVID-19. Remote work causes more siloed communication between workers, more time spent on IM and email, and, surprisingly, less time in meetings. nature.com/articles/s41562-0…

Thoughts on getting job applications through AEA JOE vs econjobmarket? I found econjobmarket pretty annoying and am tempted to switch, but it had some useful features, so I could imagine AEA JOE is worse. #EconTwitter

Seems like there has to be some truth to this, but is selection also playing a role? Did Radio get to 50% as quickly as the internet?

.@POTUS told us he would be the President to end mass incarceration. Instead he’s sending thousands of our elders back to prison.

Work from home the past year saw benefits and challenges, and they weren’t the same for everyone. In the New Future of Work #MSRPodcast, @jteevan & @spjaffe visit disparity in experiences, the hole left by not commuting, and being better remote coworkers: aka.ms/AAd4xqs

How will our understanding of work habits this past year help us transition to a model that combines the best of remote & in-person work? @jteevan & @bhecht kick off the discussion in the series opener of The New Future of Work edition of the #MSRPodcast: aka.ms/AAczw14

For ~10months, I’ve worked with people across MSFT on the effects of COVID & WFH on work practices. We released a large summary of the findings, e.g. employees whose managers helped them re-prioritize were 2.5x more likely to report good work-life balance aka.ms/nfwewfutureofwork
