AI Agents Are Here, Managers Are Disappearing, and Productivity Still Isn't Moving

AI Agents Are Here, Managers Are Disappearing, and Productivity Still Isn't Moving

Feb 17, 2026: Today I break down five signals that are quietly reshaping work:

  • OpenAI hiring the creator of OpenClaw—a major shift from chatbots that talk to agents that act

  • Why "supervisors are disappearing," and how title inflation is quietly breaking the career ladder

  • The AI productivity paradox (backed by new NBER research): adoption is real, impact is lagging

  • Anthropic's push into "work tools" and the battle to own the workflow layer

  • Australia's psychosocial safety rules—and why well-intentioned mandates can spiral into dependency, bureaucracy, and leadership abdication if we don't draw boundaries
