We Are All Workerbees
Work is being rewritten. By AI, shifting expectations, economic pressure, and the lived realities workers and employers are facing every day. Most people are trying to understand where they fit in all this change. And it isn’t just workers. Concerned parents, students, and anyone thinking about the role of people and meaning in work are all trying to make sense of this moment too. In We Are All Workerbees, hosts Heiko Roth and Nikki Vegenski sit down with workers, hiring managers, and people in the thick of it to talk honestly about what work feels like right now, how it’s shifting, and what these changes actually mean in real life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
