AI-powered Resumes on LinkedIn
LinkedIn has rolled out new AI features for Premium users to optimize resumes and cover letters for specific job applications. This can help job seekers stand out in the competitive job market. However, there are concerns about bias in AI models and the accessibility of these tools only to paid subscribers.
Firing of Wells Fargo Employees
Last month, Wells Fargo fired over two dozen employees for simulating keyboard activity to create the impression of active work. This highlights the growing issue of monitoring employee activity in a remote work setting and the consequences of dishonesty in the workplace.
Hybrid Work Model Success
A recent study published in Nature found that a two days work from home and three days in the office model improves job satisfaction, reduces quit rates, and has no impact on performance. This is good news for advocates of remote work policies, showing that a hybrid model can be successful.
