AI isn't just replacing workers. It's rewriting what work means.
The layoffs are real. The pain is real.
But the narrative is wrong.
This is the Great Role Realignment.
Companies aren't cutting because AI already replaced their people. They're cutting to restructure for what comes next. Every role that survives is being asked to own more, move faster, and operate without the handoffs that used to define the job.
We've been here before. When desktop publishing arrived in the late 1980s, entire departments collapsed into one person with a Mac. Paste-up artists, typographers, color separators. Gone within a decade. Not because their work stopped mattering. Because the tooling changed who could hold it.
The ones who thrived were not the most gifted at the old way of working. They were the ones who ran toward the new version before they were forced to.
That's the moment we're in right now. Across every function.
