This week on The Chad and Cheese Podcast, Joel and Chad are back with J.T. O’Donnell, founder and CEO at Work It DAILY, to cut through the noise on jobs, AI, and the shaky Economy.
The headline: LinkedIn makes waves again as LinkedIn sues ProAPIs.
Meanwhile, the economy’s in the spotlight:
Tariffs hit the US economy, American farmers are struggling, and as America’s farmers are on the brink, food prices and trade policies hit everyone’s table.
AI jobs hype keeps climbing, but not all AI careers will survive.
Gen Z wants flexibility, while fears of an American economy collapse loom large.
The rise of AI clones in HR tech sparks both curiosity and concern.
And let’s not forget Gen X, where Gen X faces financial hardship more than any other group- pushing some to call for UBI.
Add in the bigger picture: recession chatter, Delphi AI in the spotlight, and another looming government shutdown with talk of federal government layoffs.
Of course, this is still an HR podcast – expect sharp takes, brutal honesty, and plenty of snark. The Chad and Cheese duo dig into freelance trends on UpWork and whether Netflix’s million-dollar AI roles mark the future of hiring.
