good morning. The best stake my brother and I have ever co-owned was the video game console. “We'll share it,” we said. We didn't. Within a few days, our parents had to mediate. The conflict was never really resolved – it's not that I'm bitter about it.
So, do we run a business together? It's unlikely. Meanwhile, Business Insider spoke to two brothers who cracked the code. Below are three rules they swear to maintain peace while running multiple companies.
Today's big story is a shift that could create a new wave of light, fast businesses, facing workers with less work and limited career paths.
What you find on the deck:
market: Dealmaking on Wall Street is back so much, but employment isn't.
Technology: The younger tech founder is settling down to focus on grinding.
work: Former Miss USA and Missteen USA will be conducting their first joint interviews since their resignation.
But first, large companies need fewer people.

Big story
The end of mega employers

How many people do you employ? Once the number is larger, the more impressive the answer. But perhaps not.
With the rise of AI, almost all CEOs overseeing a large white-collar workforce hopes to achieve the same sooner or later, Bi's Ito writes.
Andy Jussy said in a dull message to staff in June. JPMorgan, Klarna and Ford all agreed. There will be fewer workers in the near future.
This shift has been happening for a while. Remember when Meta announced in 2022 that it was cutting 11,000 workers in a single blow? After that, almost all high-tech companies began trimming the ranks. Other industries were nearby.
At first, the story was simple. The proliferation of the pandemic. Market revision. After that, it returns to normal. But the cut continued to come. A few months passed, then a few years later. Employment never returned. More and more, AI appears to be pushing for these austerity measures, Aki writes.
This is probably just the beginning.
This is according to J. Scott Hamilton, CEO of Workforce Analytics Provider Live Data. His team analyzed the share of tasks at Microsoft that AI could theoretically handle. Discovery: Microsoft could eliminate up to 80,000 jobs. This is 36% of the workforce.
“Optimists say that great companies simply redeploy assets elsewhere because they can be more efficient,” Hamilton says. “But I think they can have an equal argument that they just say, 'We're going to do the same amount as few people.” ”
Meanwhile, the American education system continues to unleash graduates trained for a world of white colour stability that could quietly disappear. If the future of work is built around doing less, who will hire them?
However, there is a hopeful reason. If the startup can launch with a slimmer team, you may see many of them. New businesses tend to employ people with less experience and less qualified, Aki writes. They also create more competition for a well-established giant that is suitable for consumers.
What comes next can be faster, slimmer and more efficient. For many people, this may mean that the work they were promised may disappear before they start.
Three things about the market

1. The billion dollar cottage industry is gaining the trend in retail trading. Companies offer courses, retreats, coaching and other services that claim to improve traders' performance, and have reached the right mindset to make a profit. Demand is booming among retailers who want to get full-time and want to improve or simply get bored, a space source told BI.
2. The deal is back, but employment is not following. Wall Street has been cautiously optimistic after major banks recently reported better deal returns than expected. However, despite careful focus, there is still a wave of uncertainty that has not retreated, slowing employment. Additionally, some banks are still cutting jobs behind the scenes, BI learned.
3. How banks are removing private equity poachers? Wall Street companies from Bank of America to JP Morgan have adopted a variety of policies to prevent junior bankers from acquiring future buy-side jobs. These policies range from reallocating juniors to firing them.

1. No, Instagram does not secretly share your location. After Instagram rolled out a new map and location sharing feature this week, users were worried that the app would automatically show where it was posting. It's not true, but panic shows just how distrustful the meta is, writes Bi's Peter Kafka.
2. In Silicon Valley, being calm is cool. Young tech founders throw away alcoholic beverages at parties and other social gatherings. The choices go beyond personal preferences. Maintaining a plain state is important in the industry's health-centric grind culture.
3. Apple risks the “blackberry moment.” Typically bullish analysts warned that Apple was at risk of repeating mistakes from its old rivals. The iPhone replaced BlackBerry as the hot phone of choice over a decade ago. AI can endanger pole positioning in Tech if it doesn't pivot quickly enough with AI.

Noelia Voigt and Umasofia Srivastava have been sitting with a business insider for their first interview since resigning as Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. Sage Media Group
1. Life after Miss USA. Noelia Voigt and Umasofia Srivastava were the first Miss USA and Missteen USA to resign from the title. They spoke to Bi's Anneta Konstantinides about the future of the organization they left behind and what they thought in their first joint interview since they left office.
2. GenZ is looking for love in the office. When the workers returned to the office building, they were subjected to a quest for love with them. While there are risks to romance at work, younger generations are more likely to take them, thanks to the fatigue of dating apps and the desire for slow burns.
3. (a) Can I receive an order? Elon Musk's Tesla Diner may have been working on something. Many fast food and fast restaurants are hoping to become cashless and fewer human servers, industry insiders told BI. They shared how AI reshapes the restaurant experience.
