Ep 005 – Flexibility vs Structure: The Workplace Debate

We’re back with a re-record of an episode that got us thinking hard about how we work — and why.

This week, we’re diving into workplace dynamics, from timetables to trust, and debating the structure (or lack of it) that shapes our daily grind.

Alba brings her experience as a founder running a flexible, remote-first team, while Saoirse defends the rhythm and reliability of her structured 8-to-5 setup. We roleplay what it would be like to co-found a company and negotiate our dream work culture — from fully remote life to office meetups, and whether we’d track hours or trust results.

We also chat about:

– What proximity bias actually means

– Why some of us love to-do lists (and some don’t)

– Horse riding, kombucha, and the occasional burnout

– How to balance flexibility with fairness

This one’s packed with real talk, a bit of laughter, and the ongoing chaos of figuring it all out.
