The results of Resume Now’s State of AI in the Workplace report reveal that a swell of AI use in the workplace could be careening workers toward widespread burnout.

Ever wished you had spoken up in a meeting, asked for that raise, or left a job sooner? You’re not alone. Resume-Now’s International Career Regrets Study uncovers the most common professional missteps—and what workers are doing to course-correct. The findings reveal a clear pattern: people regret the chances they didn’t take more than the risks they did.

AI is shaking up the workplace like no technology before it—sparking excitement, anxiety, and heated debates. While many workers see AI as a game-changer, others fear it could disrupt work-life balance, accelerate burnout, and even threaten job security.

AI’s influence is undeniable and it is poised to have ramifications that dwarf those of even the most impactful technologies, including the smartphone. This understanding has led many companies to make significant claims and set high goals concerning AI use. Still, whether the workforce is ready and equipped to meet these expectations remains a question.

From emails to keystrokes, GPS tracking to security cameras, modern workplaces monitor employees more than ever. While many assume workplace privacy, experts say the real question isn’t if you’re being watched—it’s how. Experts advise employers to be transparent about monitoring and focus on solving specific issues rather than surveillance for its own sake. Employees, however, should operate under one assumption: you’re always being watched.

Poised to be the next force to contend with in the world of work, the oldest members of Gen Z have begun entering the workforce. Employers are left wondering what this new generation of workers will bring and how to best brace for the impact.

Mounting evidence suggest that neither workers and managers find the process of annual performance reviews helpful and some companies are making sweeping changes to address the issue.
