What happens when the people who kept your company’s conscience are erased overnight, with a single layoff script? In “Out of Nowhere,” Frank, a manager blindsided by the loss of his AI Ethics team, shares what it’s like to deliver the news, carry the guilt, and try to lead when all the clarity, ballast, and trust have vanished. Told as a raw, vulnerable conversation, this Backchannel episode explores the unspoken grief, confusion, and isolation that linger long after the reorg is done. If you’ve ever wondered what it feels like to bear responsibility without power, or to mourn the loss of work that truly mattered, Frank’s story will stay with you.
