AI Layoffs, Middle Management & Hybrid Work

from Organize Chaos Hosted by Chris Ronzio, Jonathan Ronzio, Sasha Robinson

Chris Ronzio, Jonathan Ronzio, and Sasha Robinson trade hot takes on the workforce headlines everyone's arguing about. Are companies really cutting jobs because of AI, or just using it as cover for bad decisions and overhiring? Is the war on middle management (à la GitLab's three-layer flattening) a smart move or a morale killer? And with engagement at an 11-year low and "quiet stayers" replacing quiet quitters, how much turnover is actually healthy? Then things get personal: Chris and Jonathan go head-to-head on remote vs. hybrid work—data, digital-nomad nostalgia, and all—while Sasha referees and lays out where Trainual actually lands today. Plus, why your manager shouldn't be your "guidance counselor," the case for an employee "aspiration index," and how AI is letting great managers handle 15 reports instead of 5. (The performance management deep-dive? Bumped to next week—this one ran away from us.)
