Workforce Rewired has published weekly essays, periodic Prompt Logs (building in public), and frequent news roundup briefings since April 2026. That is a lot of archive to walk into cold, so this page is the map.
I write about how AI is changing the structure of work, the part the headcount forecasts miss. Roles are merging and management layers are thinning. The entry-level jobs that used to train people are shrinking while the institutions that supply talent move slower than the tools. I write for the people who make these calls for a living: workforce planners, org designers, HR and business leaders, and the educators and policymakers upstream of all of them.
What arrives, and when
An essay most Thursdays: one argument, sourced, ending with what to do about it.
The News Roundup: the workforce and AI stories worth your time, with my read on each. If you want essays only, turn off roundup emails in your account settings.
The Prompt Log, an occasional series on how I build this publication with AI, including the parts that go wrong (No. 03 is about catching AI writing, my own included).
Six ways into the archive
Pick the question closest to your desk. Each path runs in reading order.
What happens to managers when the org chart flattens?
Companies are widening spans of control faster than they redesign the manager’s job. The Missing Middle is the diagnosis and The Math of Flat does the arithmetic. Then read Meta’s Flattest Team Just Asked for Its Managers Back, about a company that ran the same experiment twice.
Where does the next generation learn the job?
The first professional job used to teach the profession by accident, hidden inside the grunt work. The Entry-Level Crisis lays out the pipeline problem and The Accidental Apprenticeship shows what disappears along with the grunt work. The Inverted Pyramid follows the same squeeze into India’s IT services industry, which for thirty years ran the world’s largest white-collar apprenticeship.
Who answers for what AI does?
Agents are joining the workforce faster than anyone decides who manages them. Start with Don’t Name the Robot, then Who Owns the Mistake?, where the courts start answering the question companies skipped.
Are we measuring the right skills?
The AI wage premium is real and widely misread. The Judgment Premium argues that fluency without judgment is a liability. The AI Divide Is Already Here finds the gap forming inside companies that bought everyone the same tools, and Amazon Built a Leaderboard for AI Use asks what a number has to survive before it reaches a promotion committee.
Who will do the work, and where?
The GCC Question starts with offshore capability centers. How Governments Are Driving Who Wins With AI Talent carries the argument to AI researchers, and The Smartest Industry in the World Can’t Find an Electrician ends where the bottleneck carries a tool belt.
How should workforce planning work now?
Tools arrive in quarters and capability takes years. The Wrong Question About AI and Jobs was the first essay here and still frames the rest. The Tool That Vanished tests a plan against a model that went offline 72 hours after launch. The Hottest New Job in HR explains why the people who do this work are so hard to hire (it took me more than six months to fill one role).
If you read only one
Read The Accidental Apprenticeship. Its argument runs under almost everything else on this site: nobody designed the learning inside entry-level work, so nobody planned for what happens when AI takes the tasks that carried it.
Special mention to The Thirty-Day Protein and The Ten-Year Scientist. It’s my personal favorite and the one closest to my heart.
