title: KPMG is laying off 10% of their audit partners. Meta is also laying off 10% of their employees.
description: "Widespread layoffs at major firms signal a broader reality: no white-collar job is truly secure. \n\nThis is due to four forces: \n1/ Increased competition driven by AI lowering barriers to entry\n\n2/ The need for companies to heavily invest in technology (shifting budgets from labor to capital)\n\n3/ Rapid automation outpacing job creation, and;\n\n4/ ongoing corrections from overhiring during the COVID-era boom. \n\nEven top performers and senior leaders are vulnerable. \n\nIndividuals should take responsibility for their career security by building networks, saving money, and exploring alternative income paths, emphasizing proactive planning to navigate inevitable, ongoing disruption in the workforce.\n\nSource: Robert Sterling"
