About intheOffice Cast

We are changing the name of our podcast from intheOffice Cast to Workplace Economies to open it up to a wider range of topics, guests and experiences. Workplace Economies enables Jon and AJ to discuss not just the 'corners', but the whole picture. In our new Workplace Economies podcast we: dig into the stories behind the data, ponder evidence-based analysis on the trends reshaping work and share our perspectives on these trends and their consequences for the modern workplace. Jon and AJ are both passionate about business, technology and culture as founders of SaaS software and indie game companies. Likeminded in their principles and values, though from very different backgrounds, they instantly aligned around similar passions and beliefs on how our business should be run; solving real world problems using smarts and technology. Jon's background started in law and then into software engineering while AJ's is editing/publishing, marketing at SLT levels and now SaaS founder. In this unique podcast, we bring our combined experience, knowledge and world views to bear on contemporary issues in the world of work. We research, we discuss and then we go head-to-head in these short, informative business podcasts.

   The AI Review Tax: A Path to Burnout

   The ”AI review tax” is the hidden workload burden created when AI-generated output is passed up the chain without proper review, forcing already stretched senior employees to spend increasing amounts of their time checking, correcting, and backwards-engineering work that should have been quality-filtered before it reached them. The result is a productivity paradox where organisations appear to be generating more output while actually making fewer good decisions more slowly — a burden that falls hardest on the people least able to absorb it, and one that will only worsen as junior roles are cut and the first line of quality control disappears entirely.

   The AI Bubble Nobody Sees Coming

   Jon and Adam debate whether AI faces a sudden crash or a gradual deflation. Jon argues AI is commoditising software, squeezing SaaS pricing and causing the bubble to shrink quietly rather than burst. Adam counters that it’s a “mosaic” of smaller bubbles and that major platforms will be forced to adapt as small businesses build their own tools cheaply. They also discuss job impacts, reckless over‑reliance on AI, and why human judgement remains essential.
