90% of CEOs think employees trust their AI story — only 46% do

Citing a BCG survey, Rich Turrin highlights a trust gap just as AI-driven layoffs accelerate: 90% of CEOs are confident employees trust their leadership, but only 46% of employees agree; fewer than 10% of employees with eroded trust will give extra effort, and 58% of CEOs aren't even concerned about AI-related disgruntlement. He pairs this with Microsoft offering buyouts to 60,000 employees and Barclays cutting 5,000, both CEOs publicly downplaying AI's role — Nadella dismissing 'all white-collar jobs are gone' alarmism, Barclays' CEO calling AI merely a capacity freeser.
