The job market doesn’t reward hard work — it rewards irreplaceability.
I left a comfortable role at Amazon before the big layoffs because my work had become repeatable — perfect “AI food.” In this video, I demonstrate how to read the signs, how to pivot toward human-only skills, and (for Germany) the legal considerations to avoid being bullied into a bad exit. This is not theory — it’s my playbook.
What you’ll learn
How to spot “automation risk” in your role and move before the memo
What AI can’t replace (yet) — and how to push your work toward Human-Only / Human-Led
The Germany section: severance (“golden handshake”), Aufhebungsvertrag risks, 3-week window to contest, when to call a labour lawyer
A 30-day plan to build “layoff immunity” and keep your options open
Important (Germany) — not legal advice: Labour protections are strong after probation, but specifics vary. If you receive a termination or Aufhebungsvertrag, act quickly and speak to a labour lawyer/works council.
