Work is broken. How we find jobs, how we lead teams, how we decide who’s valuable and why. The Job Sh*t Show is an investigation into what’s actually happening and why the people who run old playbooks keep losing. I’m Josh Levine, the host of this sh*t show. I’ve spent nearly two decades working with leaders and teams navigating growth, change, and the gaps between companies, work, and people. Every week I ask one question about something happening at the intersection of AI and work—sometimes good, sometimes bad, sometimes just plain weird. If you’ve hired someone, been hired, managed people, or watched the system fail, you’re part of this story.

Managing an AI agent is like speed running my worst management habits. I get frustrated, I start micromanaging, and I catch myself acting like the boss I used to complain about. Boris Berenberg, founder of Zero AI, told

The instinct is always the same. Ask AI to complete the task, assemble the deck, execute the command. Josh thinks that's backwards, and the bill for that mindset is already coming due. So Josh went looking for a differen
In this episode, Josh challenges the question everyone keeps asking about AI and work, and makes the case that it's the wrong one. The framing is always the same. AI helps us do more, or it burns us out. Faster or exhaus
In this episode, Josh challenges the question everyone keeps asking about AI in school — and makes the case that it's exactly the wrong one to be asking. The yes-no binary is a dead end. AI in school: allowed or banned.
In this episode, Josh weaves together three stories about where AI-driven hiring is actually headed — and why the answer to whether it's making things better or worse is: yes. The first is a conversation with someone bui
Josh hit a Claude Design usage limit this week. Four hours locked out of a presentation he was mid-build on. The feeling that came with it — that he didn't own it, couldn't just keep going — told him something about the
This week Josh covers why AI is doing something economists didn't see coming — collapsing the coordination costs that made large firms powerful in the first place. It starts with a 1937 paper by economist Ronald Coase ca
If a person produces X and AI produces X faster and cheaper, the math is simple. Replace people with AI. Except the equation isn't true. This week Josh covers AI Leadership Skill #4: Know the Value of Your People — the l
Mark Zuckerberg called it a budget trade-off. Jack Dorsey cut 4,000 jobs. Salesforce slashed its support headcount from 9,000 to 5,000. ServiceNow's CEO celebrated agents that don't need lunch or healthcare. The story th
For 50 years, organizations have chased one thing: efficiency. More output, less friction, faster everything. And it worked — until it didn't. In this episode, Josh sits down with organizational change expert Josh Allen
The résumé was already broken before AI showed up. Now it might actually be on its way out. In this episode, Josh looks at the first viable replacement he's seen — not a shinier LinkedIn profile or a better-optimized PDF
The last thing your people need is another training. This week Josh previews AI Leadership Skill #2: Let Your Team Lead, the latest entry in The Sh*t List, the paid Substack companion to The Job Sh*t Show. It's built aro
When Anthropic dropped Claude Design and OpenAI released Images 2.0, something shifted. The ability to create professional-grade visuals — the kind that used to require years of training and hard-won expertise — got hand
Most leaders are using AI to go faster. This skill is about going deeper. Coach Your People With Better AI is the first entry in The Sh*t List, the paid Substack companion to The Job Market Sh*t Show. It starts with a si
Job descriptions are supposed to clarify what a company needs. But what if they’re just educated guesses? In this episode, Josh looks at how AI is quietly breaking one of the most fundamental parts of hiring: defining th
AI is supposed to help people get jobs. But what if it’s making it harder to tell who’s real? In this episode, Josh looks at how AI is creeping beyond résumés and into interviews—and even the work itself. Drawing on stor
Job titles used to tell you what a job was. Now they often raise more questions than answers. In this episode, host Josh Levine looks at the rise of strange, sprawling, and sometimes absurd job titles—and what they revea
AI is supposed to reduce work. But what if it just gives us more of it? In this episode, Josh looks at what actually happens when AI hits the org chart—inside real companies, not predictions. Drawing on recent layoffs, h
