Roslansky, who also serves as Microsoft's Executive Vice President of Office and Copilot, and Raman, formerly a senior economic adviser to California and economic impact lead at Meta, base their framework on LinkedIn's proprietary data showing professionals will hold approximately twice as many jobs as previous generations due to AI-driven workforce churn.

As enterprises adopt this decomposition model, litigation around job classification, AI-assisted performance management, and workforce transitions will likely follow.
