This is an overly cynical view in my opinion. Firstly, payments is certainly not the first thing we made frictionless using technology. Reducing friction for things is not at all a new trend. Heck, just take a closer look at the device bein

Yeah, I think he’s close to a good point of advice there, but misses it. Instead, it is better to bring up unpleasant surprises when they become a possibility (call it a “risk” if you want to sound all businessy). If you do that, then peopl

Presumably these companies would like to follow up with finding out __why__ work is not getting done. Not that I agree, but these companies seem to think that coming to the office increases productivity.
