You could be the hardest worker in the building.And still get cut tomorrow.

You could be the hardest worker in the building.
And still get cut tomorrow.

I've watched it happen to 5 brilliant people this week alone.

Senior VPs.
Star performers.
The "indispensable" ones.

All gone.

So before you sacrifice another weekend, ask yourself:

If I lost my role tomorrow…

1. Would I regret the price I paid?
→ Those 80-hour weeks cost more than you think
→ Your health, your relationships, your sense of self
→ The company won't remember your sacrifices. But your body will.

2. Could I land on my feet?
→ If your entire identity lives at one company, you're vulnerable
→ Build your reputation outside those walls
→ What would people say about you if your title disappeared?

3. Would I secretly feel relieved?
→ If yes, that's not weakness. That's wisdom.
→ You might have outgrown the game you're playing
→ Listen to that voice before it becomes a scream

The only real security?
The skills, network, and self-awareness you build for yourself.

Your company is renting your talent.
Don't let them buy your soul.

Start investing in your own foundation.
Before someone else decides it's time.
