According to McKinsey. You guys, I just, I just saw this. 59% of workers are going to need reskilling before 2030. But they also report that the success rate of that reskilling is only 20 to 40%. We want to take the mundane from you, and we're going to reskill you. What McKinsey is telling us is that 60 to 80% of that is at the number is going to fail. So the trust, I believe, not only has to be in the company, but most importantly, trust in themselves.
