Show Notes

In today’s episode:

  • Amazon recently laid off 30,000 white-collar workers--and they're not the only big company that just did major layoffs. There's going to be a cascading effect across the workforce as companies use this for cover.
  • This is part of a broader story about a weakened labor market nationwide, and it's just a warm-up for what's to come.
  • There are macro-level consequences to this overall trend. The fewer people employed, the fewer people there are to buy things.


CEO Daily Brief is a daily, five-minute podcast for CEOs where we dissect the week's biggest news, unpack hot-button workplace trends, and bring you exclusive interviews with leaders who leverage culture to drive real business results.

John Frehse, Global Head of Labor Strategies at Ankura, joins Jessica every week to discuss the latest news in labor, employment, and workplace culture by asking each other the question: 'What Are You Paying Attention To Now?'
