Open to Work is coming to Reddit! Ryan Roslansky and I wrote this book to start a new conversation around where work is going in the age of AI and to help us all know what to do to - right now - to manage this moment of big change. Along the way, we had the chance to hear from workers of all backgrounds and career stages who are navigating career pivots, unexpected job challenges, and building entirely new kinds of work for themselves and their teams. Those lived experiences shaped the book as much as any other research or reporting. I'm hosting my first ever Reddit AMA on April 2nd at 11:30 AM PT / 2:30 PM ET. I’ll be taking your questions, sharing advice, and might even tell a few stories that didn’t make it into the final version of the book. 🔗 Join me here: https://lnkd.in/AneeshAMA

Looking forward to this. One question I'd love answered: LinkedIn's feed systems treat dwell time and engagement as positive signals regardless of whether the user actually valued the content. Is there any work happening to distinguish intentional engagement from accidental or negative attention? It's the single biggest driver of feed quality complaints I hear from senior professionals. Right now, reading a genuinely useful industry insight gets the same weighting as staring at LinkedIn lunacy with your mouth open.
Aneesh Raman Really enjoying Open to Work so far. I especially liked the idea of the 5 Cs for adapting in the age of AI—courage, curiosity, creativity, compassion, and communication. Still reading, but this really stood out to me.
Discussing changes in "work" at this time is crucial; many people are rediscovering their direction
Aneesh Raman this ought to be a great value to all in attendance. I saw the word "pivot" which my wife Verlonda Thompson can do without because during and shortly after covid, it be came the go to word 🙂 that everyone was using. The one thing that's constant is change. The perpetual "who moved my cheese" of our lives is here and on a grand scale now that AI in here to stay.
Real conversations about work matter most when they include the lived experiences behind the headlines
Love that LinkedIn is meeting job seekers where they already are. The people navigating career pivots and the AI shift on Reddit are exactly the ones who need real, actionable guidance. Bringing Open to Work there is a genuinely smart move. Curious what questions come up in the AMA.
Love this, helping navigating new AI model that has been accelerating in the job market. Real conversations, real life scenarios and LinkedIn meeting people where they are at.
