AI is 'breaking' entry-level jobs that Gen Z workers need to launch careers, LinkedIn exec warns

This is exactly what I've been worried about.

At least in IT, companies have already been prioritizing more senior hires over juniors in order to minimize the overhead of training juniors and managing additional headcount. They just overwork seniors. That's been happening for maybe 5 years.

Now, companies are all like, "why can't we find any mid-levels/seniors?!' Dipshits.

The article also talks about how AI isn't delivering the savings or advantages promised, in a number of cases.

So, it's not all doom and gloom.

LinkedIn is the worst thing ever. People with jobs dont use it.

Unemployed people use it for jobs. And people who take advantage of unemployed use it.

Its a data broker company- never put your pin code in it.

I was just talking about this earlier. The startup I worked for a bunch of years ago hired a lot of people to do customer support and some manual tasks. Most of that is likely automated away now by AI. Well, most of the people hired then went on to successful careers. Lots of directors and managers in that cohort now. They got their start at an entry level job, made connections, learned a lot of stuff. But that kind of job is rarer now.

Capitalism is like a cancer. It grows and grows and grows and kills the host. It knows nothing else.

Isn't LinkedIn owned by Microsoft?
