A proposed offboarding workflow would route the leaver's final knowledge transfer through the system inheriting the work. The system would be permitted to ask follow-up questions. It would have many.
Emotion recognition at work is prohibited in Europe. A compliance approach now circulating among vendors would keep the product intact and change the noun.
A pricing model circulating in the service industries would turn human assistance into a chargeable tier. The fee would be small. Its exact size would tell you, for the first time, what a company thinks your patience is worth.
A tax authority note would treat the home of a long-term cross-border remote worker as a permanent establishment of their employer. Companies would answer with a daily allowance of foreign days and a laptop that checks where it is.
A draft guidance framework would attach a single number to every occupation on the school careers list. It would not be called a survival percentage. It would be called that within a week.
A hiring workflow now taking shape would let the candidate's agent and the employer's screening system run the entire process between them. The two humans would meet at the offer stage, each having approved documents neither of them wrote.
A consultation note circulating between labour inspectorates would require employers to demonstrate, after the fact, that an advertised position was real. The penalty would rise with the number of people who applied.
As published pay ranges become compulsory, a model advertisement doing the rounds among recruiters would offer between 38,000 and 214,000 euros, depending on experience. It would be entirely legal.
A draft employment model would grant the shorter week to teams that can prove they earned it. The proof would be produced by the same software that currently proves nothing much at all.
