Techish is back! In this week’s episode, hosts Michael and Abadesi break down Gen Z’s job market struggles, from AI shaking up entry-level roles to companies cutting costs and outsourcing instead of hiring fresh talent. They dig into why degrees aren’t translating into jobs, how AI panic is reshaping the workplace, and why some businesses are still dragging their feet on automation.
And for our Patreon listeners: we dive into UK Black History Month losing steam, and Michael and Abadesi get personal about the need to uplift our own communities.
