Did the Pandemic Change Your Job Forever?

Half of people who can do their jobs remotely are now working in a hybrid arrangement. That means they're working from home some days and a physical office on others. Andy speaks with NYT reporter Emma Goldberg and labor researcher Anu Madgavkar about why hybrid work is the future, what incentives employers are creating to entice workers back into the office, and whether COVID safety in the workplace has improved.
