Paid time off is being reduced, parental leave is shrinking, flexibility is tightening, and performance expectations are rising. These may look like small policy changes, but together they reveal a major shift in how organizations view people, power, and productivity. You will learn why this is happening now, the hidden brain science behind how employees respond when support is taken away, and why some companies may be creating long-term performance problems while chasing short-term savings. If you want to understand where work culture is headed next, this is an episode you do not want to miss. This podcast was inspired by a Business Insider article written by Sarah E. Needleman.  "PTO, parental leave, pensions: Even the most prized benefits are on the chopping block."
