    "post_text": "I’ve been thinking about how things will look three years from now. We’re already seeing major companies letting go of thousands of employees. Amazon announced around 16,000 job cuts in January 2026, Oracle reported a reduction of approximately 21,000 employees, Dell cut around 11,000 jobs, and Meta announced around 8,000 job cuts. These aren’t just small companies struggling to stay afloat. We’re talking about some of the biggest corporations in the world.\n\nWhat’s even more concerning is how AI and automation are becoming part of these companies’ restructuring plans. Some businesses are actively redirecting resources toward AI while reducing their workforce.\n\nI honestly feel like a lot of our jobs could eventually be replaced or significantly reduced within the next three years.\n\nWhat worries me even more is that even if we try to upskill, learn new tools, or adapt to these changes, we might still end up losing our jobs simply because higher-ups decide that AI or a smaller workforce is more cost-efficient.\n\nSo, what are your plans if that happens? Are you planning to change careers, start a business, learn a completely different skill, or build another source of income?\n\nAnd for those who might be in their 30s or older, how are you preparing for a possible career shift when you already have years invested in your current field?\n\nI genuinely want to hear how everyone is...",
