Office Phones to Slack Pings: When silence at work was golden, not suspicious.

12 Oct, 2025
In this episode of "Ironic Evolutions," we dive into the paradox of today’s communication landscape: from the soothing hum of office phones to the incessant buzz of Slack pings. Remember when silence at work was a sign of productivity, not suspicion? Join us as we explore how the shift from face-to-face conversations to digital dialogues has transformed our workplace dynamics and our ability to connect. Theo Carmichael’s witty commentary will have you reminiscing about simpler times while laughing at the absurdity of our current tech-obsessed environment. Together, we'll unpack the irony of a world where constant connectivity leads to disconnection, probing the nostalgia of landlines and the charm of slow-paced interactions. Tune in for a delightful reflection on how we’ve evolved, often in the most ironic ways, and why you might find yourself longing for that golden silence at work again.
