4000 people laid off today at Block That is almost half of the company (40% to be exact) And the reason is...... drumrolls please...

Its AI. That is in Jack Dorcey's own words.

This is unfortunate and my heart goes to all who would get impacted, yet its just the beginning.

While influencers on Social media will keep selling you snake oil, stating this AI is the best today, that they suddenly start using out of the blue last night at 2 PM and then another product becomes best next month, while millions will lose their jobs still even when using all those BS.

They will also keep selling you dreams of creating your own business which by my all experience is not at all easy, not at all like having a job.

If this doesn't open your eyes I don't know what will.

Also in corporate you are an assets unless you become a liability.

What can I say, just be strong, be aware and do not get scammed by these influencers but also not to corporates.

If you can help those impacted: Drop a comment below to offer job leads, referrals, coffee chats, resume reviews, or simply encouragement. Let's hold each other up. 💪
