We are more than halfway through the year and halfway through summer. The world of work has not thrown as many surprises at us over the last month but enough to ensure that Greece’s six day work-week did not feature in our top three. With Foxconn keeping married women out from certain roles, a promotion recession and neurodiversity becoming a valuable qualification for some, July had enough to keep us busy. 

Join Ankita & Apoorva as they chat about what they’ve been up to along with the latest on work. 

And don’t forget to take a vacation before the summer is out!
