Jack Dorsey just cut 4,000 jobs at Block — nearly half the company — and said the business is strong. Then he said the quiet part out loud: "I think most companies are late."
This isn't a warning anymore. It's already happening.
In this video I break down what the Block layoffs actually mean for your career, why AI is being used to justify cuts even when it's not ready, and what you need to do right now if you haven't already started building a strategy.
The train is leaving the station. Here's how to make sure you're on it.

WHAT THIS CHANNEL IS ABOUT
If you are applying for jobs and hearing nothing back…
If you are getting interviews but not offers…
If you are burned out, underpaid, or quietly planning your exit…
You are in the right place.
I spent over 20 years as a corporate recruiter hiring thousands of people into major companies. I teach what actually works, not what sounds good on LinkedIn.
This channel covers:
• How recruiters really evaluate candidates
• Why “doing everything right” still fails
• Career strategy that goes beyond resumes
• How to build leverage, optionality, and income stability
You will not get hustle culture. You will get clarity.
