Cornering The Job Market · 2026-03-20 · 12 min
New data reveals where AI is actually taking over inside corporate America, and it's happening faster than most workers realize. In this episode, host Pete Newsome breaks down a major new Gallup survey showing why accountability is the one leadership skill driving a 3x difference in employee engagement, plus findings from the CHRO Association that show 91% of top HR leaders say AI and workplace digitization are their number one concern right now. Pete also unpacks what it means for job seekers that AI is now screening resumes and scoring interview responses before a human ever sees your application, and why that might actually work in your favor. Plus: Goldman Sachs just announced a round of layoffs outside their normal performance review cycle, following a similar move at Morgan Stanley. What's behind it, and what does it signal for workers everywhere? If you're employed, job searching, or managing a team, this one's worth your time.
