Shaleen Gupta: Deloitte 的调查显示，许多中高层金融服务业专业人士不愿全职回到办公室。他们更看重工作效率和生活平衡，而不仅仅是工作时长。远程办公对女性和需要照顾家人的员工尤其有利。面对面交流固然重要，但公司应关注如何通过其他方式来促进员工之间的沟通和指导，以确保职业发展。金融服务业的工作模式转变预示着工作方式的重大变革，远程办公的趋势难以逆转。许多有才华的人离开工作岗位，是因为他们不再容忍没有意义的“无效工作”。 Yasmin Gagne: 关于重返办公室的压力，男性和女性之间存在性别差异，人们认为，为了晋升，必须回到办公室。远程办公可能会影响到员工与高级管理人员之间的面对面交流和指导，从而影响职业发展。如果工作绩效的衡量标准转向完成工作量，那么员工可能会面临工作量增加的风险，而“自我关爱”可能难以得到公司的认可。当前的低失业率可能加剧了员工赋权的趋势，但科技行业的裁员也表明，在就业市场不稳定时，员工可能会更愿意接受公司提出的要求。 Josh Christensen: 作为一名管理者，他认为在疫情期间远程管理的经验让他更加关注如何通过线上沟通来建立团队关系和促进员工发展，避免因为面对面交流不足而产生的偏见。 Vivian Tu: 她从小就养成了节俭的习惯，但直到在华尔街上工作后才开始真正关注理财。她最初对理财的兴趣源于对物质生活的追求，这并非是肤浅的，而是对财务稳定和生活方式的渴望。女性追求财务稳定和特定生活方式的愿望，不应该被贴上“肤浅”的标签。她成为理财博主是偶然的，源于她同事们向她寻求理财建议。TikTok 上充斥着许多不靠谱的理财建议，例如盲目跟风投资加密货币。美国缺乏金融素养教育，导致虚假信息传播，加剧了金融风险。当前的经济体系未能满足年轻一代的需求，导致他们寻求快速致富或及时行乐。贫困的成本很高，现有的经济体系有利于富人，而损害了穷人。积累财富不仅仅依赖于高收入，还包括多种收入来源和理财策略。许多富人并不比普通人更努力工作，他们的财富积累更多地依赖于资本运作。拥有多元化的收入来源对于财富积累至关重要，但也要注意避免过度工作导致的倦怠。她认为，她的身份背景让她能够更好地与被主流金融体系忽视的群体产生共鸣。作为理财博主，她需要平衡商业利益和提供可靠理财建议之间的关系。在资本主义社会中，内容创作者的商业利益与消费者利益之间存在固有的冲突，但创作者也应该获得合理的报酬。

Shownotes Transcript

It’s looking like the future won’t be spent in the office. Based on a recent Deloitte study, 66% of mid- to executive-level financial services professionals do not want to come back to the office full-time. Writer and journalist Shalene Gupta breaks down the numbers and explains the impact that this will have on future pathways toward leadership.

And historically, financial advice has been “male, pale, and stale,” according to Vivian Tu. The popular FinTok influencer explains why she’s passionate about teaching financial literacy. In addition to her proprietary “STRIP” method for achieving financial independence, she recommends setting up a “money date” with a close friend. Find out how much they make and pay for rent, and what their various expenditures are, she suggests. Tu says we need to ask each other these questions so we can set realistic expectations. “That’s real intimacy. Get financially naked with your friends!”

And then we chat about periods, because they’ve been a taboo subject for so long, and . . . mustard Skittles, because that’s a thing.
