Samsung and the insecure overachiever

Text us to share your thoughts

As the news of Samsung's push a 6 day work week goes viral, we discuss what productivity really means. A relic of a bygone era or time for a reinterpretation as the world of work rapidly changes?
But beyond this discussion, we explore the deeper causes behind execs and employees working ever longer hours. We uncover the phenomena of the insecure overachiever and its impact in the workplace.
As always, if you've listened to the episode, here are some of the resources we reference:
[1] Samsung's decision to move to a 6-day week for execs
[2] Britain's 4-day work week experiment
[3] Listen to Professor Laura Empson's breakdown of the Insecure Overachiever
