Show Notes

The landscape of work has been undergoing significant changes in recent years, and in particular since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic. From the surge in remote work to the emergence of "lazy girl jobs" and generative AI, a profound revolution is unfolding. 

Yet, some aspects of the work environment seem resistant to change. Remember that person who contributed little to nothing in a group project at school, yet somehow managed to get the best grade? Frustrating as hell and puzzling for everyone else right? Well, that kind of behaviour is also sometimes seen in work colleagues, and it's recently been labelled as "Social Loafing."

How can I recognize Social Loafing in the workplace then? Is it just a matter of laziness, then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
