AI jolts are coming for Singapore’s workers, warns ‘Great Resignation’ professor
Summary
Dr. Anthony Klotz, the organizational psychologist who coined the term “Great Resignation,” warns that Singapore’s white-collar workers may face “AI jolts” as AI tools and robotics replace 20% of current job tasks within five years. He suggests that countries like Singapore, with a fast-greying population, must balance economic growth with worker well-being. Dr. Klotz’s book, “Jolted: Why We Quit, When To Stay, And Why It Matters,” explores how careers are shaped by inflection points and offers advice for navigating resignations and career changes.
