🎧 Future of Work: Inside the reporters' notebooks

Reporters discuss workplace trends and forecasts, from the struggling office market and Gen Z's hunger for mentoring to remote work-friendly towns and kombucha in the breakroom

Today’s episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is sponsored by Crisis Assistance Ministry. Today at Crisis Assistance Ministry, 100 families will seek to avoid eviction or utility loss. You can ensure those neighbors maintain the hope, warmth, and light of home this season.


Last week, The Charlotte Ledger published a 4-part special series called “The Future of Work” about changes in the workplace, delving into what tomorrow’s workplaces will look like, and what employers and workers can do to prepare. 

Paying Ledger members can read the series in its entirety at charlotteledger.substack.com/futureofwork

Reporters examined the following topics:

  • Younger workers crave mentoring. They don’t always get it.

  • Charlotte’s office market is struggling. ‘There’s going to be pain.’

  • The offices of the future will be packed with amenities.

  • Small towns in N.C. are pushing to lure remote workers.

    Companies are making their offices more welcoming to encourage workers to appear in-person. A newly renovated amenity center called Three for tenants to use in Charlotte’s One South building uptown has a full-service cafe, made-to-order coffee and cocktail bar and a golf simulator.

Today, we’re sharing conversations with the reporters who wrote those four stories, to give you inside-the-reporter’s-notebook takeaways and analysis. 

Ledger contributing editor Doug Miller spoke with reporters Lindsey Banks, Hannah Lang, Kerry Singe and Cristina Bolling, and we packaged their short conversations into a podcast for you. (Each story warrants its own podcast, in our opinion, but don’t worry — the entire podcast runs just under 23 minutes.) 

The Charlotte Ledger Podcast aims to make you smarter about Charlotte through weekly conversations with local leaders from businesses, nonprofits, education and other sectors. It is available on our website, as well as on podcast platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast and Google Podcasts. (The audio of this episode is available at the top of this email.)
