#38 - $100K Visas, AI Champions & HR Tech Takeaways
Description
On this week’s Alder Hour, Matt and Rhona dive into two of the biggest stories shaping the future of work: the controversial new U.S. immigration fee hikes — including a proposed $100,000 price tag for tech visas and $1M for permanent residency — and the key takeaways from HR Tech Las Vegas 2025, where AI, agentic HR, and culture dominated the conversation. Jocelyn steps into the Situation Room with a jaw-dropping story of someone secretly working six full-time jobs at once, and we sit down with Patti Tabris, freshly honored as an AI Champion at the ISG Women in Digital Awards 2025, to hear how she’s blending innovation and people-first strategy at ResultsCX. Plus, we’ll round things out with “Trending or Ending?” — our signature hot-take segment on what’s next in HR tech.
