This week on The Chad & Cheese Podcast, Chad, Emi and J.T. dive into the 2 A.M. bar version of “Who’d You Rather” — and it’s brutal. Berlin-based Kombo just scored a Series A to dominate HR integrations… but Humand just snagged $66M to revolutionize the work life of billions of deskless humans. Who’s the real winner here? You think you know… you don’t.
Then we pivot to Stepstone CEO Sebastian Dettmers bragging about record-breaking January applications 🚀. Spin or reality? The labor market might be booming or maybe it’s just desperate candidates clicking “lazy apply” en masse. Truth? Somewhere in the middle, and we’re spilling the tea.
AI fans, brace yourselves: a U.S. software engineer, Scott Shamberg, gets harassed by an AI agent after blocking it. Reddit drama meets AI gone rogue—bullying like you’ve never seen.
And the corporate world isn’t safe either. IBM stock gets crushed after Anthropic drops a bomb about modernizing COBOL systems. AI bed-wedding or real problem? We break it down.
Finally, Google’s Career Dreamer uses AI to turn your life experiences into career gold—but is it dreamy, or just another shiny toy? LIKE & SUBSCRIBE 🔥
