 In this episode, we talk about AI replacing intellectual labor, the collapse of employee wellness efforts, and why fast food chains are under fire for child labor violations. Tincup and Leary break down the contradictions in workplace AI messaging and call out the fatigue creeping in during summer months. The conversation hits everything from HR tech funding spikes to gender bias, dragging the hiring process, and the quiet evolution of transportation as a serious workplace benefit. Key Takeaways ➡ AI is replacing repetitive intellectual labor—this isn’t just a blue-collar story anymore. ➡ Workplace wellness fails when companies ignore what employees actually need. ➡ Over 100,000 fast food violations related to child labor sparked national scrutiny. ➡ Mixed AI messaging creates distrust—“assistive” tools feel more like surveillance. ➡ Summer productivity drops hard—most companies are ignoring the data. ➡ Culture is now inseparable from compensation. If you’re underpaying, don’t say “culture.” ➡ Hiring timelines are longer due to internal distrust, not technology problems. ➡ Passion is still perceived differently based on gender—especially in leadership roles. ➡ Glean raised $150 million, keeping HR tech’s funding wave alive. ➡ Transportation is becoming a legit workplace benefit, improving access and retention.
