Ai and Quiet Firing

8,000 Meta employees showed up to work and got replaced by something called the "Agent Transformation Accelerator XFN." And if that wasn't enough, your company doesn't even have to fire you anymore. They'll just make your life miserable until you quit. Jeremy and Jimmy break down the AI takeover, the Meta layoffs, and the sneaky corporate art of quiet firing. It's a great time to be employed.

About the Podcast

Above My Paygrade
A comedy podcast focused on corporate nonsense, from offsite travel disasters to Teams meeting meltdowns. If you've ever questioned your sanity during performance reviews, this podcast is your emotional PTO.
Above My Paygrade is the comedy podcast for anyone who's ever muted themselves to scream during a Teams meeting. We dive headfirst into the absurdity of corporate life—from offsite travel disasters and return-to-office guilt trips to Slack etiquette, horrible bosses, and survival tips for not looking like a total idiot in front of your coworkers.
Each episode blends satire, emotional truth, and listener-submitted chaos into segments like “Out of Office Email or Cry for Help?” and riffing on the inevitable Ai takeover. It’s catharsis for the cubicle crowd, therapy for the remote warriors, and a safe space to laugh at the madness we call work. 50% of our waking hours is spent working… that makes us cry a little..
