Actually, if you look at it in simple terms About one in five jobs is now at risk. My job is in danger here. This does not mean that he will be removed. So, about every five, the one guy whose job Three things could happen to him now, all of which are dangerous. First, the current work he is doing or his job The role can be changed.

So, it means there is a 33% probability that it can be drawn. Hey, now guys, listen carefully here that Canva is such a big company And we've all been using Canva a lot, right? Why are you doing it, right So, as for Melanie, who is their CEO and co-founder, she made it clear. It was said that this is the first time in 10 years that their growth It is no longer happening at the speed it should have been happening. And along with the increase in costs due to AI I have to take care of the business myself. So, understand from this simple example what has been done with this company. First, people like us used to do things like creating thumbnails for YouTube. So I used to go to Canva, where there are lots of templates available for free. I picked it up and moved it back and forth, editing it Save, Download, Done Look, there's no doubt about it, even here at the company Money was going out because of storage and all those things. But not as much as due to AI But what is happening these days? Look, the one that was there before is still free now. But at the same time because It has many AI features, and even those are kept free of charge. I mean, the people from before, you know, like editing everything Those who used to do it manually now do it in many ways. Select any one AI model They will add one of their images and say, referring to this image, Take me to the top of Mount Everest. Place it in front of the Eiffel Tower. Place it in front of the Taj Mahal, and make a good-quality image. Now we are creating images in this way, through AI. Which model of AI is being used here? Isn't it amazing how computing power is being utilized when AI is in use? How can power behind the scene tokens be wasted? That's the computing power, it's just going away, I mean It's clear here now because of those free AI credits Even if it's free for the user, But the company has to pay him his money, right? You understand, don't you? So somewhere, the increased costs due to AI are also a reason. But now you cannot say this, or we cannot conclude this, Hey brother, because now the free future of AI has given them a lot of money and that is that the company itself also acknowledges, by the way and that is to extract a feature from you So, their product team is responsible for working on features. Its platform will be responsible for overseeing these technical systems and technical support. And the growth-oriented team will make sure of this. that the feature reaches people And let them use it But here, the problem they were facing was this When the three are connected, make small decisions First, one team to the second team, then the second team to the third team. You understand, he was delaying it this way, Even for making tiny little decisions, Canva has already filled it in. There's too much overlap here, okay. So they thought, why not, let's now bring all these together into one organization. Put it inside, so that the decision, which was a bit So they're just announcing this in order to reduce it. And along with this, they have also clearly clarified this for certain product roles. It's the Sydney shift that is taking place. I've said so many of them, haven't I? Affected 22% to many people, perhaps those in Sydney Take them there and have them do the work. Alright, but so much All laid off, this is such a It was the news you saw, something good It was also the case, meaning whatever you They will leave the company; six of them The company will pay the monthly salary. The MacBook that was given to them for working Keep that brother with you. The company is also saying this A 12-month health insurance policy, and the company is providing it And at the same time, after my brother left the company If you want to start your own business So for him too, we will give you 10,000 dollars, which means Not even that they will give to everyone who actually wants to start No, this will be given only to them, but even so, if all this is to a single company It's really good, isn't it, that they're providing it to you, but hearing all this And these days, almost every 3-4 days, there's a news item. I'm seeing that the layoff happened here, the layoff happened there. So, one thing, one suggestion, I would like to give you a piece of advice Please keep this in your mind. Look, the 22% job effect has definitely taken place—it's confirmed without a doubt. But 22% if you're looking at it, that's too much Is it bigger or 78%? This is even bigger. Which is bigger, 22% or 78? Tell me. 78 is big, isn't it? They're showing in the news that 22% of jobs have been lost. But 78% is still safe, isn't it? So, Gays, what should we do now? If you also want to stay within that 78% where your job is Keep these three things in mind, even if there's no problem. First, there is an eight-hour shift in the hangar, Eight hours of work are done, brother, just forget about it. At least until you feel safe here Yes, okay, so first of all, your core skills are, Whatever work you are doing, apply the skills you feel you have in that work. If you see yourself as weak just by being liked by others, then so be it. There's nothing else you can do about it, okay? First of all, regarding your Core skills, you strengthen them, second decision, isn't it? Many people just leave tasks blank when coming in the morning. Yes, brother, it would be good if we did that. The decision that is made for the company's benefit For the well-being of your managers, for the well-being of your colleagues, The decisions you make for your own well-being Those who speak a little do not sit silently. So, it will also be somewhat secure, just like their job. The third, which is the most important That is your responsibility. Guys, you know, your skills are strong tomorrow. You talk well with the team. But at the end moment A problem arose while showing it to the client. The manager is furious. Bro, what happened? Brother, at that time, you should have had so much courage, sir, mine It was a mistake, but I'm still fixing it, or however much I can I'll fix it as soon as possible, whatever the ownership is. You're the one who's confused, like, bros are shocked, crazy, you're Sigma People will say, if you're understanding, then that attitude, you know, the one with sigma, that kind of attitude No one will ignore you then Brother, my friend, this guy's solid, man. I'm keeping him. Then my company will run just fine. That's all you need for now; that's all you need right now And you will have to do this yourself. Think about it, if you were to start any business tomorrow, if you were to If you need to hire a team, you'll surely do a great job—I know you'll take good care of me, even if you say otherwise. No man, my job is going, but when you become boss tomorrow No, not even ten out of these hundred, select the top ten, the absolute best ones. None of them did a good job. Stop wasting time. You'll fire him right away. That's just how brothers are, man. You understand, so please just focus on your work Go ahead and start; the rest is whatever news is coming from outside the market. Yes, I think this will continue, it will keep coming, that's all you need Strengthen yourself and focus on your skills And at the same time, if you start a business, ten thousand dollars Bro, he's the head of the gang, I'm telling you the truth. It also feels bad that the job is slipping away, but what can we do, guys? The company also has its own difficulties. You understand, Guy, we can't do anything here, can we? Just remember this: even if the job is lost, This does not mean that you are useless; you can do something about it. Remember this, brother, always cherish your parents Never underestimate yourself at any time. Try again and work hard Get a better job Show the world Show that company what you've pulled out here, take a look It turned out for the best, as I was destined to be with this company. It was written that I am working at this company. That's when they kicked me out from there. Just keep this attitude—everything's easy, everything's fine. It's over, guys, this is it.
