Was the 9-to-5 work day even a good idea?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

If you've been working from home at all for the past year you've probably benefited from having a little more flexibility in your schedule. It's really nice to stop competing with everyone else for the Friday 7pm doctors appointment, or not having to take an extra train ride home and then back to the office at lunch just to take the dog out. But with vaccines being distributed and the expiration date of the pandemic at the end of the tunnel -- what's the future of our new work/life balance going to look like? Are we at the beginning of a revolution in how we work, or will workers largely return to office culture as we knew it? Jennifer Rossi Long, Senior Director of West Chester University’s Twardowski Career Development Center joins KYW Newsradio In Depth to talk about how COVID-19 changed the 9-to-5 for good and ill alike.
