Can you make more episodes?

I loved your content and miss it.

New content?

Any plans for new content?

New host and content are terrible

Previously listened to the podcast on my commute and enjoyed the content and engaging host. New content is not engaging and the host is terrible. Not a voice or viewpoint I want to hear on my way to and from work. Unsubscribing.

Not a fan of the new host.

Thumbs down 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

Lame recent change

Early 2023 the show got so much better - they finally got a solid/engaging host for this show and then this May episode drops? So disappointing, not worth time. Unsubscribe.

Previous host was better.

Recent change for the worse.

Irony

Funny how some of these other reviewers talk about this podcast as if it’s left leaning. The Wall Street Journal is a right leaning publication so it’s trying to welcome itself to the 21st-century, but barely (and 20 years too late). The podcast has some good information but the interactions are so rehearsed… very typical on right wing media. Stepford Wife personalities. Woke it is not.

Very informative about work trends

From small to mega trends this show captures economic and work changes that impact everyone.

For the love of God! Do you people at the WSJ believe in diversity at all? I read the old host was leaving, I was hoping a new younger person of color who can tell a different story would replace her. To my surprise (full sarcasm) just another white woman talking about a continued one sided narrative. She literally sounds like the last host! Stop talking about remote work, HR and corporate jargon! There’s another world out there in the world of work that can be discussed! Starting to think WSJ stands for the “White” Street journal.

Used to be decent

Used to be a decent show. Then they decided to go woke and describe the « micro aggressions » suffered by self proclaimed minorities. From the WSJ, yikes… I expect better from you.

KILL THE THEME SONG. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

I ordinarily don’t review podcasts, let alone just submit reviews for podcasts I don’t listen to. I listened to one episode, and it’s probably too left leaning for me. Fine, you have the right to be left leaning or whatnot without my wrath. But I listen to three other WSJ podcasts, and they advertise As We Work. A lot. And there’s nothing quite as annoying as that ear-piercing, nonsensical clapping sound entering my brain as I’m trying to keep an 18-wheeler on the road in high winds. Besides that, what do tin drums and brain-pounding clapping have to do with white collar work? KILL THE THEME SONG. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

Not Worth Your Time

WSJ subscribers look for brevity and reality. This podcast is neither. It might make a corporate HR Manager happy, but not someone who is responsible for the bottom line. In this time of employee shortages and an emphasis on diversity, why would a company pay differently for the same work? Unfortunately, this podcast falls back on the same tired bromides.

Disappointed With The Bias

Another show talking only from the hard left viewpoint.
jmalvarez29

Sounds like an NPR show not a WSJ one

I was rather disappointed with this show. I listened to the first 5 episodes to give it a chance. The show is totally one sided, never even bothers to show more than one side or perspective on a topic. One thing that puts WSJ aside from the NTY or NPR or other mainstream media is that it actually bring more than one perspective to their shows and articles. In Wall Street jargon, they present both the bullish and bearish perspective. This show does NOT do that at all.

Great discussion

As a woman of color who was highly impacted by the pandemic- the conversation with Pamela and Nicole hit home. It’s made me take a step back and reevaluate my goals in my professional career and a working mother. The conversation resonated deeply

Disappointed

Disappointed in the recent episode by the false narrative that women are somehow paid way less than men for no reason (than presumably discrimination). The host seems uninformed regarding this topic and just repeats mainstream propaganda. Even far left Vox.com has a fairer and more informed take on this topic on YT. I expected better from WSJ.

Applicable

I love it. It is cutting to the core of all things that impact me. Not specific to the pandemic, but workplace behaviors that have existed (since I can remember) get discussed.
DMHarrington

I was hoping

I was hoping that this would be a podcast about how everyone works. This isn’t the case.
