 The workplace is shifting—fast. In this episode, Ryan Leary and William Tincup unpack Florida’s new take on non-compete clauses, the rapid invasion of AI into traditional jobs, and the rise of TikTok as an unlikely champion for trade careers. They tackle salary transparency, onboarding failure points, generational etiquette wars, and why Meta’s recruiting like it’s 1999. Real talk. Real stories. No fluff. In this episode we talk about non-compete legislation, AI in the workforce, salary transparency, layoffs, immigration anxiety, and TikTok’s surprising influence on trade jobs. From the economic ripple effects of Walmart's restructuring to Meta’s AI talent landgrab, we break down the trends shaping how, where, and why we work today. Key Takeaways ➡ Florida's challenge to non-compete agreements could reshape employee mobility nationwide. ➡ Goldman Sachs and Samsung are baking AI into core workflows—this isn't hype, it's deployment. ➡ Immigration-related anxiety is rising again in SF, with new ICE activity hitting local headlines. ➡ Meta’s hiring spree in AI isn’t about growth—it’s about defense. ➡ Job.com’s bankruptcy shows what happens when startup sizzle meets poor fundamentals. ➡ Google’s internal pay transparency experiment is sparking more questions than answers. ➡ Walmart layoffs are part of a bigger wave of restructuring under pressure. ➡ TikTok is unintentionally becoming a trade school recruiter for Gen Z. ➡ The restaurant industry is being crushed by rising labor costs and retention gaps. ➡ Salary transparency may increase equity—but it also triggers internal friction. ➡ Younger workers have a new idea of “professionalism”—and it’s clashing with legacy norms. ➡ Healthcare AI isn’t coming—it’s here, and Samsung is leading that charge.
