Shownotes Transcript

It's my final day before taking some much-needed time off work for the holidays, and it's got me a little spicy. You'll hear the spice as I talk through some of the latest things happening at the intersection of business, tech, and the human experience.

Layoffs Right Before the Holidays: Layoffs are in the air, but are they really saving companies money? Furthermore, when it comes to timing, there's no good time, but could companies be more human-centered when they are the only option?

CitiGroup Letting Employees WFH: We're almost four years post-pandemic and companies letting their office employees work from home is still making the news.

AI Sniffing Out AI Use in Job Applicants: AI can be a really helpful way to identify and hire great candidates, but as expected, there's no shortage of foolish use. The latest is trying to sniff out candidates that "cheated" on their application with AI.

And, don't forget to share your thoughts. Also, if there are topics you're curious about, let me know. I'll continue sharing my thoughts in this rapid-fire addition to Future-Focused content. Have a great week!
