Summary

 Are you working in a system designed to discard you? Today on Eyes Wide Open, we're joined by advocate and podcast host Maureen Wiley Clough to pull back the curtain on the end of job security due to unseen systems of corporate greed, ageism, and the erosion of worker rights. We explore the radical intentionality required to survive an era of mass layoffs and AI existential risks while maintaining your dignity and agency. In this episode, we dive into the "ghost workforce" and how surveillance and corporate disempowerment have become the new standard in the modern workplace. Maureen shares her insights on why ageism is starting earlier than ever and how the American social contract is failing mid-to-late career workers. We discuss the power of collective action, the myth of "job security," and practical strategies like economic activism and "wallet voting" to force systemic reform. Whether you're navigating an involuntary shift into the gig economy or fighting for transparency in your current role, this conversation provides a roadmap for returning to a culture of unity, leadership, and common humanity.
