Join Apoorva and Ankita in yet another fascinating episode of HR Bandit as they tackle September’s top workplace headlines shaping the future of work. 

First, explore the rise of “AI workslop” — how low-quality AI-generated output might be quietly undermining productivity and what HR can do to promote smart AI use. 

Next, navigate the evolving landscape of the working week, as Microsoft mandates three days in office, Spain rejects the four-day week, and Silicon Valley experiments with a taxing six-day schedule amid job market uncertainties. 

Finally, get the scoop on Blind's CEO survey revealing nearly half of employees think their CEOs deserve performance improvement plans — featuring figures like Satya Nadella and Cristiano Amon.
