Join Ryan Leary and William Tincup to break down the integration of AI in Oracle Fusion to the implications of tech layoffs and the workers' right to disconnect. Unpack the complexities of pay transparency, succession planning by way of ageism, and Subway's legal battles over sexual harassment. And, why does ChatGPT struggles with spelling 'burrito'.


Takeaways

  • Tech layoffs are a result of market corrections and changes in skill requirements, not solely due to AI.
  • The workers' right to disconnect is a complex issue, with companies prioritizing productivity and employees seeking work-life balance.
  • Utah's law making NDAs regarding sexual misconduct unenforceable is a step towards transparency and accountability.

  • Recent acquisitions in the HR tech industry include Cornerstone acquiring Tailspin and Culture Amp acquiring Org Gnostic.
  • Compensation is expected to grow faster than inflation, and organizations should focus on market data to ensure fair pay.

  • AI disruption in the workplace may impact 10% of US workers, but it doesn't necessarily imply job loss.
