Episode notes

Send us Fan Mail This week on Your Work Friends , we’re diving into two hot topics shaking up the future of work. 1️⃣ The surprising new jobs AI is creating and why your taste and creativity might be the most valuable skills you bring to the table. First, we explore 22 new jobs AI is expected to create - and why your taste (yes, your vibe, your style, your point of view) could become your biggest career asset in an AI-driven world. We’re talking about AI auditors, world designers, and why creativity is about to pay off big. 2️⃣Why some companies are getting rid of HR altogether - and whether that’s a smart move or a big mistake. Then, should HR go away? We break down why some CEOs are scrapping HR entirely, what that really means, and why splitting HR into two teams (compliance vs. people) might actually save your workplace.
