“Loud Labourers” describe workers who spend more time talking about doing work than doing it.

Well, there’s a new trend in workplace dynamics: “loud labourers” – which are people who spend more time discussing work than actually doing it.

Similar to the recent “quiet quitters” phenomenon we saw recently, the new trend has taken over to describe a less than ideal employee.

Coined as a contemporary adaptation of a classic office stereotype, the “loud labourer” trend is being recontextualised to suit the evolving dynamics of the hybrid workplace.

Researchers assert that the presence of such workers is not novel, and that showing off for the boss’ attention is common practice. However, this behaviour has also transitioned into work from home scenarios.

The “loud labourer” trend raises concerns about its potential detrimental impact on both individual workplaces and companies at large, as any repercussions against the behaviour could lead to these employees shifting work loads onto other employees.

Experts warn the best strategy to manage such behaviour is to identify it early, and to maintain constant communication.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
