What Happens When AI Hits the Org Chart?

AI is supposed to reduce work. But what if it just gives us more of it? In this episode, Josh looks at what actually happens when AI hits the org chart—inside real companies, not predictions. Drawing on recent layoffs, historical patterns like ATMs and spreadsheets, and firsthand stories from teams already deep into AI adoption, he explores why automation rarely shrinks work the way we expect. Instead, it often expands it—more output, more tasks, more complexity. AI may make individual jobs easier, but without rethinking how work is organized, companies risk doing more of the same work… just faster and at a larger scale.About The Job Market Sh*t ShowThe Job Market Sh*t Show: How AI Broke Hiring and What Might Be Next is an investigation into how hiring actually works now, how AI and automation have upended the process, and why the old rules no longer apply. It blends reporting, analysis, and firsthand stories from inside a labor market that’s increasingly algorithmic, opaque, and indifferent to the people moving through it—while asking what, if anything, might replace a system that no longer seems to work for humans on either side of the process.
