Don't Get Laid Off

2025. The AI wave sweeps across every industry.

You're an ordinary tech worker. This morning, you open the company group chat and see a company-wide notice:

“To seize the opportunities and challenges of the AI era, the company will launch the ‘AI-Driven Efficiency Revolution’ initiative. All positions will undergo AI-readiness evaluations over the next 12 months. Roles that do not meet the new standards will be optimized.”

Your finger paused on the screen for three seconds.

“Optimized” — you know exactly what that word means.

You have 12 months. 12 months to prove you won't be the one replaced by AI.

Don't get laid off. That's the only victory.
