PM Hot Topics this Week: Navigating Flattened Teams, AI Hiring & Job Anxiety | ft. Ben Chan

What’s going on in the world of project management right now? In this week’s episode of PM Therapy, we react to some of the most talked-about trends in the PM space—from companies removing middle management to the rise of AI job interviews and deepfake candidates. It’s part news breakdown, part therapy session.

We explore what it means when titles don’t reflect your impact, when layoffs target the “doers,” and when PMs are expected to lead while quietly fearing for their own jobs. If you’ve been scrolling headlines wondering, “What does this mean for me?”—this episode is your chance to unpack it all with us.

🎯 What You'll Learn in This Episode:

🔹What’s really driving the trend toward flatter organizations

🔹How AI hiring tools are changing the job search (and what’s getting lost in translation)

🔹The rise of fake candidates and “proof of human” job applications

🔹The role of job titles in today’s market—and whether they still matter

🔹How Gen Z is pushing back on traditional career paths in project management

and so much more!
