Serial Layoffs - We Are Now All Contract Workers
The number of safe havens is small. They range from healthcare to parts of AI to personal services such as caring for the elderly, children and dogs.
Those are the exceptions.
The other sectors have made serial layoffs the norm. In a sense we have all become contract workers. We have this or that work for, say, 18 months and then we're again figuring out how to sing for our supper.
On Reddit Public Relations is this post, a sign of these times of no employment security, at least not in the traditional sense:
"In early February, my agency let go 15 people and this is the second time we’ve undergone layoffs in under a year. Should I be concerned? Is this normal?"
The 2025 version of employment security is to continue to beef up current skills and acquire new ones.
Interestingly, my intuitive career coaching clients who had been in the military tell me that youth is entering the services not to pick up a college degree. That's so last decade. The lure is to have access to training in skills.
