U.S. bans noncompete agreements for nearly all jobs
The Federal Trade Commission narrowly voted Tuesday to ban nearly all noncompetes, employment agreements that typically prevent workers from joining competing businesses or launching ones of their own. The FTC received more than 26,000 public comments in the months leading up to the vote. Chair Lina Khan referenced on Tuesday some of the stories she had heard from workers. "We heard from employees who, because of noncompetes, were stuck in abusive workplaces," she said. "One person noted when an employer merged with an organization whose religious principles conflicted with their own, a noncompete kept the worker locked in place and unable to freely switch to a job that didn't conflict with their religious practices." These accounts, she said, "pointed to the basic reality of how robbing people of their economic liberty also robs them of all sorts of other freedoms."

AI is making managers nervous
Beautiful.ai, an AI startup, surveyed 3,000 Americans in management positions to understand their attitudes toward the technology's usage. Of those surveyed, 48% of managers reported that AI tools are a "threat to their pay" and will "fuel wage declines" across the country in 2024. That fear partly stems from the belief that the technology can do their jobs more effectively, with 64% of those surveyed saying its output and productivity are "equal" and "potentially better" than the quality of work human managers can churn out. After all, the technology has a slew of capabilities. ChatGPT, launched in November 2022, can generate videos, create marketing materials, and write lesson plans. In early March, Cognition unveiled Devin, the 'first AI software engineer' the startup claims could fix bugs and train AI models. Bosses also seem concerned that tools may lower their employees' wages. Sixty-two percent of managers surveyed, according to Beautiful.ai, said their employees feel like AI could eventually put them out of their jobs. Forty-five percent of leaders said the technology will present an "opportunity to lower salaries" across the workforce.
