Rejected at 1:50 AM???

Derek Mobley applied to over 100 jobs in seven years. He was rejected every single time — sometimes within the hour, once at 1:50 in the morning. No human ever read his application. Now his lawsuit against Workday — the software vendor, not the employers — could redefine who's accountable when an algorithm decides who gets to work. This week, Brian and Eve are joined by Jess Lowry, host of the Deprecated Human podcast, whose own research tracks the job opportunities that vanish inside AI hiring pipelines. Together they dig into the three-alarm fire at the company that literally sells "human capital management": the first-of-its-kind AI discrimination case (Mobley v. Workday), the Salesforce-linked data breach that spawned a wave of class actions, and 2,100 layoffs at a company posting record profits — all while the AI at the center of it all is still screening candidates today. What happens when the system managing humans stops seeing them? Let's investigate.
