"Creative Destruction" - Majority of Employees Don't Know It's Happening at their Workplace Via Generative Ai

 It's an old-line buzzword to put a positive spin on change that has negative effects on too many constituents. That's "Creative Destruction." It's being resurrected to capture the extent of change because of the confluence of high interest rates, geopolitical issues and, of course, generative AI.

Unfortunately, the majority of employees, reports LinkedIn, are not aware of the Creative Destruction happening at their workplaces because of the latter - generative AI.

"More than half of workers — 54% — don't know how their employers are leveraging artificial intelligence ... nearly 8 in 10 C-suite respondents said they're already using AI, and 68% acknowledged their companies' AI moves haven't been in their rank and file's best interests."

That means that employees are not absorbing the scope of possible and probable disruption in how they work or, more importantly, if they will have work. Already the Creative Destruction has reduced the number of jobs in such niches as customer service and news. In content creation, look at the help-wanted on Pro Blogger - Jobs and notice the depreciation in payment-per-word. It can be as low as 3-cents. Not so long ago the low had been 10-cents per word.

In my coaching I recommend that clients research lines of labor insulated from generative AI and reskill for them. For example, a middle manager in corporate marketing understands the protection provided by the hands-on for home health care. They are considering purchasing an aide care placement agency.
