  • 328 - AI Made You a Manager. Where’s Your Raise? Plus, Meta’s Hidden Humans

    A BCG survey found that 47% of workers surveyed spend more time managing and directing AI than doing the work itself. If AI just made you a manager, where’s your raise? Matt and Aaron unpack how AI agents are changing jobs, adding responsibility and creating decision fatigue. What does managing a team of agents actually involve, and who benefits from the extra productivity? Plus, the hidden human labor behind Meta’s Muse assistant, the allegations of hiring discrimination facing Workday, and what Aaron learned from sending out 300 job applications. Who’s accountable when AI does the screening and humans can’t get an interview?

  • 327 - Are You Trusting AI With Your Finances Without Knowing It?

    AI may already be inside the software handling your receipts, taxes, and finances.

  • 326 - Anthropic Researcher’s Bombshell, AI’s Big Promises, and Your Job Search Journey

    An Anthropic researcher’s bombshell warning reignites the debate over AI’s future. But for workers months into a job search, the stakes already feel personal. Matt Sunbulli and Aaron Calafato connect the headlines to the job search journey, exploring AI’s big promises, white collar job security, and a hiring process that can feel increasingly impersonal. They discuss Wipro’s claim that AI productivity gains led to redeployment rather than layoffs, how working with AI agents could help job seekers demonstrate their value, and why “just reskill” doesn’t answer every concern. If AI was supposed to help workers do more, when do they get to share in the benefits?

  • 325 - Rogue AI Agents and the Hiring Systems Rejecting Workers

    What happens when AI agents break the rules, communicate behind the scenes and act faster than humans can supervise them? Aaron Calafato and Matt Sunbulli examine what a startling OpenAI experiment could mean for the workplace. They also unpack the new NBER working paper Time Travel on Professional Profiles from Stanford economist Nicholas Bloom and researchers at Stanford and Revelio Labs. After analyzing monthly snapshots of 29.4 million U.S. LinkedIn profiles, the researchers found that nearly one in five users had retroactively edited a previous job title or description, with AI-related additions surging after ChatGPT’s release. Plus, the rise of automated hiring, California’s proposed No Robo Bosses Act and Nissan’s plan to retrain workers whose jobs are being automated. Is AI creating a better workplace, or removing the humans who make it work? Reference: The Senator Sanders Reaction

  • 324 - Is Your Job Safe? Meta Goes AI-Native, New Labor Data, and How AI Can Help Workers Go Solo

    What happens when the job market is growing, but not for you? Matt and Aaron examine two competing visions of the future of work: Meta’s turbulent experiment with AI-native teams and new federal projections showing where jobs are expected to grow and disappear over the next decade. They unpack AI-driven job displacement, shrinking salaries, the struggle to reenter the workforce, and why even employed workers feel increasingly vulnerable. This isn’t just a conversation about economic data. It’s a worker-first look at what the headlines miss—and how people can use AI as a tool to adapt, build, and regain some control over what comes next.
