An ADP survey of 39,000 workers across 36 countries finds fewer than 1 in 4 feel confident their job is safe from elimination, with no country exceeding 38% job security confidence; even 65% of C-suite executives feel at risk. Academic consensus cited in the piece holds that job insecurity reduces rather than raises performance, and emerging "FOBO" (fear of becoming obsolete) is linked to active employee resistance to AI rollouts, including deliberate misuse or sabotage of AI tools. For financial institutions, this dynamic is a structural friction on enterprise AI ROI realization: if employee resistance and disengagement slow internal adoption, the productivity and cost-efficiency gains underwriting AI investment cases may materialize more slowly and unevenly than modeled.
