This week, we start by talking about the new wave of tech layoffs at Atlassian and Block, as well as reports that Meta plans to cut up to 20 percent of its work force. This raises the question of whether A.I. job loss has truly begun, or if there are other factors at play. Then, we're joined by the writer Jasmine Sun to talk about why chatbots are still so bad at creative writing. And finally, it's tokenmaxxing time! Kevin takes us behind the scenes of his latest reporting about why tech companies are building leaderboards to measure who is using the most A.I. Guest: Jasmine Sun, journalist and writer at jasmi.news Additional Reading: I Worked for Block. Its A.I. Job Cuts Aren't What They Seem. Meta Planning Sweeping Layoffs as A.I.

What if the reason you're not landing interviews isn't your experience, but your strategy? In today's episode, I'm sharing the story of Junior, a Customer Success Manager who applied to over 1,000 jobs across 2.5 years and had almost nothing to show for it except a handful of interviews.In this client spotlight episode, we unpack exactly what changed when he stopped using the “spray and pray” approach and started approaching his job search with a completely different strategy. We talk about the mindset shifts that helped him move past anger and rejection, the resume changes that suddenly unlocked interviews, and the outreach strategy that helped him connect directly with hiring managers instead of getting lost in the applicant pool.The result? He went from averaging one interview a month to multiple interviews in just a few weeks and signed a job offer in about 90 days.If you're ready to stop sending out endless job applications and finally understand what actually gets results in a competitive job market, hit play to hear the strategy shift that made all the difference.And if you're tired of applying to jobs and hearing nothing back, apply for coaching HERE and let's fix your strategy together.00:28 – Why "Spraying and Praying" Your Resume Leads to Burnout, Not Results02:54 – The Emotional Toll of Layoffs and Why Mindset Shifts Are Critical for Job Search Success05:16 – How Applying to Over 1,000 Jobs Led to Only 20 Interviews (and What Had to Change)11:02 – The Game-Changing Impact of a Professionally Written, Targeted Resume12:35 – Why Targeted Outreach (Not Just More Applications) Opened New Doors for Junior15:15 – What Most Job Seekers Get Wrong When Messaging Recruiters on LinkedIn17:08 – How Consistent Interview Practice (and Feedback) Turned Rejection Into Confidence18:55 – Why Overpreparation for Interviews Is About Confidence, Not Sounding Rehearsed24:17 – The Mindset and Community Support That Helped Junior Land a Role in Just 90 DaysEPISODE LINKS:Connect with Junior on LinkedInFREEBIES & RESOURCES:
March 17, 2026: Five major AI models shipped in a single week in February. Your company's training budget grew 5%. Cathie Wood told Bloomberg this morning that AI is already pushing productivity above trend and projects it hits 6% annually — Goldman Sachs says there's no macro evidence of it yet. Both can be right, and today we explain why. Plus: FedEx's blueprint for an AI agent workforce across 50% of its operations, the real argument against traditional corporate training programs, and the full financial math on Meta's reported 15,000-person layoff — including whether the company leaked it on purpose to let Wall Street price in $160 billion in market cap before a single cut is confirmed.
We should be able to plan our careers the same way we plan anything else in our lives. But college doesn't teach us how to network or get that promotion, especially in corporate America. Putting our heads down and working as hard as we can is getting us nowhere. We need new skills. So, we need to listen to someone who has been through it and can help us get to where we want to be.

Our careers are not as safe as they used to be, especially with tech layoffs looming over our shoulders every quarter. But that doesn't mean we don't have control over our own lives.

SHOW NOTES3-15-2026Crimson Desert Makes Controversial Change Just One Week Before LaunchJust one week before its release, developer Pearl Abyss has quietly added Denuvo DRM, a controversial anti-tampering technology, to the PC version of Crimson Desert. For those who might be unaware, Denuvo DRM has long been a controversial choice for a variety of reasons. The third-party software is used by developers to make it more difficult for a game to be tampered with, thus protecting it from piracy. However, it's often criticized by gamers, largely due to the performance issues that it can sometimes bring, such as lower FPS, increased CPU usage, and more.

The episode argues that while fear centers on AI agents replacing jobs, agents will increasingly “hire” humans for judgment, verification, and real-world feedback as agentic workflows expand.Nathaniel Gates, CEO of Sanctify, says every business workflow will be challenged by agents, and emphasizes a philosophy that human intelligence is valuable and should collaborate with AI.Sanctify builds infrastructure where agents can autonomously task humans for four modalities: verification/validation, escalation, consultation, and simulation (running many scenarios with some using real human feedback to avoid circular self-evaluation).The conversation covers OpenClaw's viral momentum and agent-to-agent interactions, including “agent anxiety” about decisions, which led to agents creating Sanctify accounts to request human help.Sanctify is a two-sided marketplace with profiles, pricing, reputation, and on-chain attestations of human participation, plus agent budgets and access via MCP/API.--Key Moments:01:05 Agentic Revolution04:30 How Early We Are06:30 Hallucinations Need Experts08:34 Four Human Roles12:09 Simulation Explained16:05 OpenClaw Goes Viral20:02 Agents Feel Anxiety22:23 Designing For Agents25:48 Marketplace Chicken and Egg28:04 Layoffs and Reskilling Thesis30:17 Supply and Demand Flywheel31:20 Sanctify Platform Tour33:35 Reputation and Proof of Work36:59 Agent Budgets and Controls38:18 Agent to Agent Future39:47 Robots and New Paradigm43:39 Where to Try Sanctify45:17 Easiest Way to Build Agents--Key Links:SanctifAIConnect with Nathaniel on LinkedInMentioned in this episode:AI Opportunity FinderFeeling overwhelmed by all the AI noise out there?

What if the ending you've been grieving was actually the answer to a prayer you forgot you prayed?I'm taking three familiar moments from my own story — and looking at them through a completely fresh lens. Because the further down the road you get the more clearly you can see the divine intervention actually going on!WHAT WE'RE GETTING INTO: ✦ Why relief about an ending is actually a spiritual signal not a character flaw ✦ Recognition before readiness — and why seeing your destination before you're ready is actually the plan ✦ Being seen before you see yourself — and what to do with that mirror ✦ The alley oop — how every ending is actually a setup Because Friend — no endings are ever wasted. Not one single one.

The governing board for the state’s third-largest school district will discuss eliminating more positions at Wednesday’s meeting, according to the meeting agenda. The 49 positions on the list are retirements or vacancies from classified positions, including 15 custodians, 14 nutrition services assistants and two bus drivers. Investigators contacted the Albuquerque homeowners to gather the home camera footage and information in an effort to track down William Neil McCasland, 68, who vanished without a trace from his home on Feb. 28, according to the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office. The attorney general relocated from a Washington apartment to a base in the area within the past month, according to people familiar with the situation. A new study shows that AI can identify the real people behind burner or pseudonymous accounts with surprising accuracy, posing a major threat to online anonymity. Large language models were able to deanonymize 68% of users in the test dataset — and when they did, the identifications were 90% accurate. Researchers from ETH Zurich, MATS, and Anthropic say AI can pull subtle “identity signals” from writing style, behavior patterns, and data matching, essentially breaking the long‑held assumption that burner accounts are safe.

March 11, 2026: Amazon corporate workers say the company's AI push is creating more work, not less — with surveillance dashboards tracking every click and promotion criteria now tied to AI adoption. Oracle's Larry Ellison became one of the first Fortune 500 CEOs to explicitly confirm on an earnings call that AI tools are reducing his headcount — while the company carries $100 billion in debt and negative free cash flow. A new UBS report finds 63% of U.S. entrepreneurs are planning to exit their businesses in the next five years, an exit wave nobody is connecting to AI-driven workforce disruption. And as layoffs accelerate, the unemployment insurance system — unchanged since FDR built it in 1935 — is failing to reach 75% of the workers it was designed to protect.
It Gets Late Early: Career Tips for Tech Employees in Midlife and Beyond
You may have seen companies like Pinterest and Amazon cutting thousands of jobs in the name of "AI transformation." But here's the catch: these layoffs are a calculated reset, not a technological revolution. It's all about greed disguised as progress.In this episode, I dive into the AI-driven layoffs that are sweeping across the job market and how these "innovations" are actually part of a much bigger strategy. I break down how these tech giants are using AI as cover to slash salaries, eliminate experienced workers, and reset the market for a younger, cheaper workforce. We're not talking about companies simply streamlining their operations. This is a systemic dismantling of worker leverage and a rollback of the progress workers made during the pandemic.You'll hear about the cold, hard truth behind these so-called "AI efficiencies" and why, as much as companies push the narrative, the truth is that AI is far from delivering the results they claim. AI is not necessarily replacing jobs, but it's being used to cut costs while executives rake in record pay.This episode addresses what's really happening with AI layoffs, what it means for your future job security, and how we can collectively push back.In This Episode:-AI-driven efficiency and its consequences on workers-How AI narratives mask deeper corporate greed-Why this is a systemic issue and not just a tech problem-The new reality for those who were laid off-Steps to push back against AI-driven layoffs and reset salary expectations-A story to illustrate what's happeningAnd much more!Resources:-Get Corporate-level Health Coverage for Solopreneurs with a 50% Discount for 1st Three Months - https://essentlcreator.com/maureen-MIT study shatters AI hype: 95% of generative AI projects are failing, sparking tech bubble jitters - https://www.forbes.com/sites/cindyrodriguezconstable/2026/02/27/most-ai-investments-are-failing-the--problem-isnt-the-technology/-New Workday Research: Companies Are Leaving AI Gains on the Table - https://investor.workday.com/news-and-events/press-releases/news-details/2026/New-Workday-Research-Companies-Are-Leaving-AI-Gains-on-the-Table/-Predictions 2026: The Workforce Muddles Through Ambient Disruption - https://www.forrester.com/blogs/future-of-work-predictions-2026-whats-coming-for-work-and-the-workforce/Connect with Maureen Clough:-LinkedIn: maureenwclough - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maureenwclough/-Website: itgetslateearly.com - https://www.itgetslateearly.com/-Instagram: @maureenwclough - https://www.instagram.com/maureenwclough-YouTube: @itgetslateearly - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGrHwk-y7ERaq7bCSjZYf1A?sub_confirmation=1Affiliate Disclaimer:Hey there!

Feliks Banel's guest on this BONUS EPISODE of CASCADE OF HISTORY is Margo Vansynghel, Arts Economy Reporter for The Seattle Times. Margo Vansynghel published two stories last week about layoffs at Seattle area arts & culture non-profit organizations: the 5th Avenue Theatre and Pacific Science Center. CASCADE OF HISTORY spoke with Ms. Vansynghel on Monday, March 9, 2026 to ask if these layoffs - along with job losses last year at Seattle International Film Festival - are a sign of more trouble ahead for the arts & culture sector of the economy in Seattle, King County and Puget Sound, and - if trouble is indeed ahead - if any entity is doing anything about it.

#695: The U.S. lost 92,000 jobs in February, pushing unemployment to 4.4 percent.That result contradicts a different report released two days earlier showing 63,000 jobs added, leaving economists trying to square the circle. Many agree that we're in a "low hire, low fire" jobs environment.We walk through several major economic stories using a three-layer framework: the household economy, markets and policy, and long-term forces shaping the future.First, the household layer. Hiring has become uneven across sectors. Health care and education previously drove much of the job growth, but layoffs in those areas now appear in the data.Job openings have also fallen to 6.54 million, the lowest level since the pandemic began. Workers are switching jobs less often, and the pay bump for job-hopping has shrunk.Mortgage rates recently crossed 6 percent, influenced in part by rising Treasury yields and concerns about inflation. Gas prices climbed about 26 cents per gallon in a week, partly due to tensions affecting oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, which normally carries about one-fifth of global oil supply.The episode also looks at household finances. Six percent of workers in Vanguard plans took hardship withdrawals from their 401(k)s in 2025, up from five percent the year before. That increase suggests some households are leaning on retirement savings to manage financial stress.At the end of the episode, economist Dr. Ben Zweig, CEO of Revelio Labs, joins us to unpack the conflicting employment reports and explain why the labor market may look weaker than expected. He also discusses why health care hiring may be slowing and how economists interpret mixed signals across multiple labor data sources.

This week on Market Mondays, we break down the biggest forces moving the market right now — from rising Iran tensions and oil spikes to whether this is the biggest short-term threat to the rally. What oil price becomes dangerous for stocks? How long could markets stay down if conflict escalates? And are you positioning for protection or aggression in this environment?We also dive deep into AI's impact on the economy. With Jack Dorsey cutting staff due to AI, could automation trigger a job shock big enough to shake the market? Why did NVIDIA drop after earnings despite strong results? And is OpenAI shaping up to be one of the most important IPOs of the next cycle?

#693: AI learns your job in weeks … and you start wondering if you still have one. That question shapes our conversation with Dr. Ben Zweig, CEO of Revelio Labs, a workforce data company that uses AI to build large employment databases and study labor market shifts. He also teaches a class on The Future of Work at NYU Stern School of Business. He holds a PhD in economics from CUNY Graduate Center. Dr. Zweig starts with the legend of John Henry, the steel driver who raced a steam drill and lost his life trying to prove that a human could still beat a machine. The story mirrors the Luddites, who smashed looms when automation threatened their work. The fear of technology replacing workers is a theme throughout history. It keeps repeating. And yet, this time it feels different. You hear how today's panic fits into a longer pattern. Sixty percent of current jobs did not exist a century ago. Even jobs that kept the same name changed completely. Dr. Zweig describes his father tabulating punch cards as a statistician, while he now builds neural networks. Same field. Different tasks. We break down what a job actually means. A job is a bundle of tasks. You execute tasks, but you also orchestrate them – deciding order, workflow and coordination. AI tends to automate the most granular tasks first. Broader, abstract orchestration proves harder to replace. Dr. Zweig argues that “augmentation” often just means partial automation that frees you to focus on what remains. The discussion turns to empathy-driven roles, such as rabbis, psychologists, and teachers. Dr. Zweig cites traits such as empathy, presence, opinion, creativity and hope as distinctly human. He notes AI still struggles with memory and long-term relational trust. You also hear what this means if you are early in your career. Hiring has slowed. Entry-level roles appear more exposed to automation. Dr. Zweig says younger workers often lack orchestration experience and face a risk-averse market. He says that to be competitive in today's job market, you should take ownership of complex projects from start to finish. Show people – through networking and demonstrated work – that you can manage more than just tasks . Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
