Description

October 28, 2025: Companies are re-establishing discipline after years of expansion, excess, and employee-first drift. This episode explores five major shifts reshaping the future of work: Amazon's "lean in on AI" directive following 14,000 layoffs, UPS cutting 48,000 jobs as automation accelerates, the limits of Gen Z's workplace expectations, CEOs pushing to restore a performance culture, and the rise of ultralean organizations focused on output over headcount. Each story reveals how technology, accountability, and efficiency are redefining what it means to be future ready.
