“Die Boss” host Simone Menne and stern editor Sarah Stendel look back on the fourth season of the career podcast and talk about taboos in the job and the shortage of skilled workers, among other things.
The multi-supervisory board member Simone Menne sees the role of older people as an opportunity when it comes to the shortage of skilled workers. “I know a lot of people, myself included, who say: I don’t want to be nothing anymore at 60 and stay at home and watch TV or do the garden. As nice as gardening is,” Menne says in an interview starEditor Sarah Stendel in the career podcast “The Boss – Power is Female”.
“We also have to take notice of new technologies that can do a lot for us. That was always the fear: New technology costs jobs. That’s very old thinking. We have to say: Great, new technology can do work for us because we there are too few who can do the work”, the former CFO of Lufthansa continues. Another lever is the advancement of women to get more women back into working life. But she emphasizes: “I don’t believe in the 42-hour week.”
In this conclusion episode, Menne and Stendel also look at the highlights of the fourth season of the starpodcasts back and also talk about the taboos they have encountered over and over again. Influencer Louisa Dellert or screenwriter Anika Decker, for example, provided valuable impulses on the subject of money, and Menne spoke to Swedish CEO Caroline Farberger about the challenges of being a trans woman in professional life.
“For a long time even the subject of homosexuality was taboo. We still see that (…) And men are even more shy. So for a CEO in a large corporation to say “I’m gay” is probably just as difficult as for a football player . It’s still taboo,” Menne said.
In “The Boss – Power is Female” top women talk to each other: hostess and member of the supervisory board Simone Menne (including Deutsche Post DHL, Henkel) meets female bosses from all areas of society to talk to them about their lives and careers. “Die Boss” appears every fortnight on Wednesdays on and on all common podcast platforms.
