How would you summarize the article? I wouldn't have read it, had you not complained about this poster.
Let me share what I gathered:
1. Francesca really likes working from home. She has the time to pick her son from school and feels empowered but she's also worried because Johnson and other British conservatives are pushing against "work-from-homers"
2. "The permanent secretary for the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, Sarah Healey, recently told staff that she would keep online meetings, because they were more effective and also helped women participate."
3. “Being interrupted and talked over puts women off from speaking out in meetings – it silences them,” she says. “On Zoom, interruptions are very messy, if people just try and shout over others everything sort of seizes up.”
4. “In physical offices we have what sociologists call a hegemonic masculine organisational culture, where white male characteristics are seen as virtues,” she says. “To think online spaces can completely remove that culture is a bit too naive but maybe some of those ingrained habits can change – if people are reflective.”
