So, if you have a story about how AI has impacted your working life, please send it to AIKilledMyJob@pm.me. It’s an encrypted ProtonMail account. I will keep all details private and, if desired, your identity anonymous. Your message can be as long or as short as you’d like.

Since publishing the call to my newsletter, I've gotten dozens of testimonials. So many difficult and illuminating stories—thanks to all who've written in.

If you know someone impacted, please share, and thanks again.

And when I ask if AI killed your job, I don’t mean it literally. “AI” is after all a loose term that describes a broad array of technologies. And “AI” can’t kill any jobs on its own—that’s a management decision.

I'm interested in how and when management is deciding to implement AI.

Over the last week—and few years—I've heard from translators, writers, marketers, tech workers, coders, artists, illustrators, graphic designers and more.

Sometimes they feel the impact of AI suddenly, when a boss institutes mass layoffs; more often it's a gradual downgrading.

There are *so many ways* that bosses use AI—not just to replace work, but to speed it up, surveil workers, gain leverage over them, or erode what made a job worth doing. Sometimes AI *creates more work*.

I've heard lots of these stories, and want to hear more.

Here's an explanation of what I'm trying to achieve with the project:
