#44 YOUR TRAINING YOUR AI REPLACEMENT

“January Reorg 2026:
Reorgs Are Inevitable.
Being on the List Is Optional.”


READ with CAUTION.
This one will "STING" a little...
This one will "STING" a little...
You’re Not Using AI at Work
Let me translate corporate AI adoption into plain English:
- Every prompt you write.
- Every workflow you “optimize.”
- Every dashboard you proudly automate.
You’re not becoming indispensable.
You’re becoming the unpaid LLM tutor for the system that will quietly X you out in the Q1 2026 reorg.
Greed isn’t good anymore.
Leverage is.
- MIT The ICEBERG INDEX
The Lie You’ve Been Sold
They told you AI was a tool.
Cute.
In reality, AI is being promoted faster than you are—straight into governance, workflow ownership, and decision rights.
By late 2025, companies stop asking:
“How can AI help employees?”
They start asking:
“Why are employees still in this loop?”
That’s not innovation.
That’s headcount math.
The 2025 AI LAYOFFS....
Artificial intelligence was responsible for almost 55,000 layoffs in the U.S. in 2025. Overall job cuts topped 1 million in 2025, the highest level since 2020
Per consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
AMAZON LAYOFFS
MICROSOFT LAYOFFS
CEO Satya Nadella wrote in a memo to employees that the company needed to “reimagine” its “mission for a new era,” and went on to tout the significance of AI to the company.
SALESFORCE LAYOFFS
“I’ve reduced it from 9,000 heads to about 5,000, because I need less heads,” Benioff said in an interview on The Logan Bartlett Show podcast.
Benioff had revealed over the summer that AI was already doing up to 50% of the work at the company.
IBM LAYOFFS
In November, the company announced a 1% global cut, which could impact nearly 3,000 employees.
CROWDSTRIKE LAYOFFS
Cybersecurity software maker CrowdStrike said in May that it’s laying off 5% of its workforce or 500 employees, and directly attributed the cuts to AI.
“AI has always been foundational to how we operate,” co-founder and CEO George Kurtz wrote in a memo included in a securities filing.
“AI flattens our hiring curve, and helps us innovate from idea to
product faster. It streamlines go-to-market, improves customer outcomes,
and drives efficiencies across both the front and back office. AI is a
force multiplier throughout the business.”
WORKDAY LAYOFFS
In February, HR platform Workday was one of the first companies this year to say its cutting 8.5% of its workforce, amounting to around 1,750 jobs, as the company invests more in AI.
Workday CEO Carl Eschenbach said the layoffs were needed to prioritize AI investment and to free up resources.

Here’s what Agentic AI actually means inside corporations right now:
-
It plans tasks
-
Executes workflows
-
Hands off decisions
-
Reports outcomes
-
Improves itself without HR approval
No PTO.
No politics.
No severance.
Once leadership trusts the output, humans become overhead.
And trust me—executives trust math.

The Stat That Will Make You
"Sit Up Straight"
MIT-linked enterprise research and real-world pilots show this pattern clearly:
- AI-driven workflows complete tasks up to....
~17× faster at ~1% of the marginal cost of human labor.
- AI can already do the job of 11.7% of the U.S. labor market and save as much as $1.2 trillion in wages across finance, healthcare, and other professional services.
That’s not a productivity edge.
That’s a fatal pricing mismatch.
You cannot “outperform” something that is:
-
17× faster
-
100× cheaper
-
Available 24/7
-
Emotionless under pressure
That’s not competition.
That’s extinction-by-spreadsheet.
The MIT "The Iceberg Index"
The study highlights that most AI exposure is hidden beneath the surface — embedded in routine cognitive, administrative, and professional workflows long before full job elimination becomes visible.
Why This Matters:
AI doesn’t replace jobs overnight — it quietly absorbs tasks until roles become economically indefensible
Footnote / Citation

MIT Sloan / arXiv (2025). The Iceberg Index: Measuring Workforce Exposure Across the AI Economy
By the time layoffs make headlines, the work has already been automated.
Why Q1 2026 Is the Kill Zone
Every corporate career runs on the same invisible clock:
-
Q4 optimism
-
December “great work this year” emails
-
January budget resets
January isn’t about culture.
It’s about cost-per-output.
And in the upcoming 2026 reorg, AI finally wins that argument at scale.
This reorg will be different from every one before it.
Past layoffs were cyclical.
This one is structural.
Jobs won’t disappear because revenue dipped.
They’ll disappear because:
-
The work already migrated to AI
-
Humans are now redundancy risk
No drama.
Just a calendar invite titled “Quick Sync.”
CEOs Aren’t Whispering This Anymore

Elon Musk said it bluntly:
“AI will take your job if it can do it better than you. And it will.”

Jensen Huang made it worse:
.“You are not losing your job to AI. You’re losing it to someone who knows how to use AI.”

And Sam Altman quietly delivered the punchline:
“The safest position is owning leverage — not selling time.”
Notice the pattern?
None of them say, “Relax.”
They say, “Reposition.”
The Psychological Trap
Here’s the cruel irony no one at work will admit:
The better you use AI to be “efficient,” the faster you document your own replacement.
You’re not future-proofing your role.
You’re:
-
Mapping your decision tree
-
Training your successor
-
Handing over institutional knowledge
Prompt by prompt.
You’re not irreplaceable.
You’re becoming well-documented.
Here's the CLIFF HANGER...
(Read This Slowly)
If AI can do your job:
-
Faster
-
Cheaper
-
Without complaining
-
Without benefits
What exactly do you think your employer protects in Q1 2026?
You?
Or the margin?
Remember... Employment is voluntary ... on both sides..
Because Wall Street doesn’t do loyalty.
It does leverage.
When the leverage is gone... so are you!

Here’s the Part That
Actually Matters
(Actionable,
Not Motivational)
You don’t beat AI by competing with it.
You beat it by owning systems it can’t fire you from.
That means shifting from:
-
Time-based income → Capital-based income
-
Permission → Position
-
Salary → Systems
This is why trading and investing are no longer “side hustles.”
They’re career insurance.
AI compresses:
-
Research time
-
Execution latency
-
Decision accuracy
For employees, that’s the exit sign.
For operators, that’s unfair advantage.
Used correctly, AI doesn’t replace traders.
It multiplies decision-makers.
Your 2026 Counter-Plan
(Write This Down)

If your career doesn’t have a plan for you, here’s the only one that matters:
-
Detach income from your calendar
If you stop showing up and income stops—you're exposed. -
Use AI as leverage, not a leash
AI should amplify your decisions, not replace your seat. -
Build a system that compounds without permission
Markets don’t ask for approval. They reward preparation.
This isn’t about gambling.
It’s about positioning.
Final Question
(No HR Script for This One)

When the Q1 2026 reorg hits…
Will you be:
-
Explaining why your role still matters...
or -
Watching your money work without asking anyone for approval?
Because AI doesn’t care about your résumé.
But markets don’t care about your boss.
Employees get automated.
Operators get augmented.
And the clock? It’s not ticking.
It’s compounding.
What’s your counter-plan—before the calendar decides for you?

One last thing...
Before you head to the
Christmas Holiday party…
If this post slightly changed the vibe at your company Christmas party — awkward laughs, forced smiles, someone hugging HR a little too long — my apologies.
But hey…
Enjoy the open bar.
Eat the shrimp.
Take the swag.
Because if you’re still training the AI… this might be your farewell tour.
See you in Q1.
Bring a system.

Deuteronomy 8:18:
Scripture reminds us - creating prosperity isn’t greed — it’s grace. The ability to compound, to steward resources wisely, and to build abundance is a gift meant to free you, bless your family, and expand your impact. Providence is not just profits — it’s purpose fulfilled. Every Monday, you step into that grace when you choose to build, not drift.
