from Workquake Weekly · host Steve Cadigan

Three headlines from this week in work, and the pattern connecting them.Steve breaks down: why dropping degree requirements barely moved the needle on who actually gets hired (fewer than 1 in 700 hires affected), why 55% of HR leaders regret their AI-driven layoffs and one in three companies are now spending more on rehiring than they ever saved, and why a 40% collapse in entry-level tech hiring is quietly mortgaging the leadership pipeline of 2035.The thread tying it together: companies are making decisions that look smart this quarter but will look like obvious mistakes a decade from now.10 minutes. No fluff. Find Steve on LinkedIn to keep the conversation going.
