They also explore the concept of \"productivity theater\" where employees pretend to be constantly working, even though it leads to disengagement and burnout. Continuing the theme, they contemplate why mandatory weekend work persists and share ideas on how firms can improve work-life balance. Rounding out the discussion, they offer up some career advice to accounting students on finding fulfilling roles and avoiding common traps such as extreme overwork.\n \nChapters\n \n\nShow Notes\nTurning staff into workaholics makes them way less productive | Fortune\n\nBurned Investors Ask ‘Where Were the Auditors?’ A Court Says ‘Who Cares?’ - WSJ\nAccounting in 2024: The year ahead in numbers\nFull PDF of study is here: https://www.accountingtoday.com/research-report/optimism-abounds-but-people-problems-persist\n\nSPAC companies accounted for at least 21 bankruptcies this year and a staggering $46 billion in lost investor value | Fortune\nNeed CPE?\nGet CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.com\nSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.com\n\nGet in Touch\nThanks for listening and the great reviews!
