Why Companies Are Blowing Up Their Workforce to Chase AI

Every week, another wave of layoffs. Another breathless press release about AI transformation. Another batch of executives patting themselves on the back for being bold and visionary while their workers clean out their desks. Here's the part nobody's saying out loud: for most companies, the AI revolution isn't delivering. The ROI isn't there. The efficiency gains aren't there. And the humans who were supposed to be "augmented" by all this technology? They're just... gone. So why won't they stop? In this episode, we get into the mechanics of the AI hype machine — why companies keep doubling down even when the numbers don't add up, why layoffs are becoming the new corporate flex, and what's actually going on underneath all the buzzwords and boardroom bravado. But we also talk about what you can do about it. Because disruption creates motion, and motion creates opportunity — if you know where to look. This one's worth your time... but you might want to pour yourself a drink first.
