Algorithmic Exit

What happens when your worth at work is decided by code? In Algorithmic Exit, James, a loyal employee, is cut loose, not by a person, but by an algorithm. This episode of Humans in the Loop explores the human cost of automated layoffs, what’s lost when decisions are made by machines, and how James navigates the emotional aftermath of being let go without warning or reason. From the first confusing group call to the cold reality of system-driven separation, this is a story about dignity, identity, and the growing gap between people and the processes that shape their lives.Tune in for a raw, honest look at what it means to be seen and dismissed by a system that doesn’t know your name.Support the showHumans in the Loop is independently produced by a team of neurodivergent creators and collaborators.
