What do you think people can do to set themselves up for success or protect themselves at their current company to ensure that they're not one of those mass layoffs?
So you want to make yourself essentially irreplaceable, and the way to do that is make yourself a key point of failure. This is something that, like, big consulting firms go and find really key points of failure. It's something like the one IT guy who has all the passwords. You want to be that you want to make sure that this business cannot operate without you.
What if a business is already smart enough?
I think it's finding a way. Way to make yourself indispensable by still being a key point of failure in that, like, oh, I am on the sales team. I'm the number one gal. I'm the number one guy. If they lost me, they would lose 25% of the year's revenue, because guess what? They're not. You're not gone. You're never going to be gone. Like, they. They will hold on to you till the very end.
