The Harsh Reality of Layoffs

Amidst the widespread layoffs shaking the tech industry, I've created this video to dive into the key factors that I believe are driving these job cuts.
Video Chapters 📹
Intro 00:00
Preface 00:35
Can your job be automated by A.I.? If so, you’re probably not safe. 01:49
Does your job contribute to the company’s revenue in real time? 03:46
Termination of projects and initiatives you’re directly involved with. 04:53
Major company changes, e.g., mergers and acquisitions. 06:24
Outro 08:38
Layoffs are here to stay, at least for the foreseeable future. With AI development speeding up and making more jobs obsolete, it's crucial to discuss what layoffs really mean. This isn't just a passing trend-it's a conversation we all need to have, and sooner rather than later.
Whether you're in corporate, tech, or professional services, you could be next on the chopping block. It's important to stay alert and keep your career options open.
🔍 In this video, I discuss:
➡️ AI Automation: If your job can be automated by AI, you’re at risk of being laid off.
➡️ Revenue Generation: If your role isn’t directly generating revenue for the company, layoffs might be imminent.
➡️ Company Changes: Major shifts like mergers and acquisitions often lead to layoffs.
- Yes, I know layoffs can happen for many other reasons.
Layoffs aren't going away anytime soon. Understanding the reasons behind them and knowing the warning signs can help you stay ahead in your career.
