Valuetainment - ＂81% of Americans Terrified of Losing Their Jobs” – Are You Next？

00:00:00.000 So are you about to get fired? Yes, you. Do you worry about it? Did you go to sleep last night

00:00:03.620 worried about losing your job? Because the reality of it is job anxiety right now is the highest it's

00:00:08.280 been in America. 81% of U.S. workers fear they could lose their jobs in 2025. 76% expect layoffs

00:00:16.760 to increase across industries. This is a real thing that's taking place today.

00:00:21.120 We're going to talk about what you can do to have job security in 2025.

00:00:30.000 So if you get value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel.

00:00:37.780 So why is this happening? Number one, the fears widespread layoffs. A lot of companies right

00:00:41.760 now laying off. What if my company does this? I work for a big company. That company just let

00:00:45.940 go 12,000 people. This company let go 7,000 people. So that's one. Number two, and a big

00:00:50.120 part of this is tariffs. My company's telling me we're not making money. Our margins are smaller.

00:00:54.340 So we have to let go of certain people. That's a concern. Next one, Glassdoor Confidence Index.

00:01:00.000 Record low on Glassdoor. 44% of employees. Only 44% of employees are confident in a company's

00:01:07.540 future. This is the lowest level since Glassdoor began tracking this over a decade ago. That's

00:01:14.620 a real number that people are looking at today. Next one, remote workers, high anxiety. Remember

00:01:19.720 when it used to be like, I got a job. My company's awesome. I get to work from home. Nobody checks

00:01:25.520 on me. I watch six movies a day and I sit in front of the screen. It's so awesome. I've

00:01:30.440 been Netflix and relaxing, going to the fridge, coming back. No one bothers me. I'm living

00:01:34.820 the flipping American dream. They're scared now because companies are saying either come

00:01:40.020 back to work or you're fired. The first people companies are firing right now are the people

00:01:44.100 that work remote. That's the first to go. 88% expect more companies will require in-office

00:01:50.520 office work in 2025. So guess what? If you're watching the same, that's not fair. Don't be

00:01:55.320 part of that crowd. Be part of the crowd that comes back to the office without anybody asking

00:01:59.760 you to do it. AI acceleration is the other one that's scaring some people that my job's

00:02:03.340 going to be replaced by AI, which is not a bad argument. It's probably going to happen

00:02:06.140 to a lot of jobs, not all jobs, but it's going to happen to a lot of jobs, especially to those

00:02:11.420 who are like, I don't think it'll happen to me. Those are going to be the first people that

00:02:14.520 are going to get fired. This other one, this last point on this section is the following.

00:02:17.640 So I get it in my neck from a guy the other day. Oh my God, Pat, I'm so worried. I'm having

00:02:21.760 a hard time getting a job. I'm like, you're having a hard time getting a job. They call

00:02:24.800 that optimism recession, which means people are like, there's no way I can get any job.

00:02:29.440 Nothing exists, but employers are hiring. Just yesterday, we hired 12 new salespeople, W2 salary

00:02:36.420 commission, full benefits downstairs. I'm going through orientation. There's 12 people walking

00:02:40.420 across, getting a tour here. Two weeks ago was 21 in a single day. We're hiring more than ever

00:02:46.260 before, but you got to put yourself out there. You can't say, I went to six interviews. I email

00:02:50.140 my resume. You got to be proactive. But a lot of people are thinking there aren't jobs out there

00:02:55.000 while there is. I'm interviewing a lady who's one of the best in doing events in the country. 1.00

00:03:00.540 I'm talking, she does events for countries. Like that's the kind of a person comes in. I said,

00:03:05.800 why would somebody like you who's made millions of dollars with your own company? Why would you get

00:03:10.000 a job? She says, are you not following what's going on with the market? Everybody wants a job today.

00:03:15.440 The market sucks. People are worried. They're panicking. I'm like, well, that's a mindset.

00:03:21.060 You have a fear-based, and in my mind, you got a fear-based mindset. If everyone around you is

00:03:25.340 telling you this, you're also believing it for yourself. All right. So now the question is,

00:03:28.700 what can you do to not be fireable? You're unfireable. We don't have to go to sleep worried

00:03:32.920 about it. Last night at a meeting here, an emergency meeting, I flew out all my major insurance

00:03:36.960 executives. We're here from noon till midnight. We started here in the office and it went till midnight

00:03:42.880 at our cigar launch. Great conversation, intense conversation, but a great conversation.

00:03:47.540 And one of the things we talked about is what can you do to never fear with growing your business,

00:03:55.200 no matter what the market and the economy is. I don't care if the market sucks. I don't care if

00:03:59.540 there's new regulation. I don't care who the president is. I don't care what's going on.

00:04:03.460 If I look at the news and there's wars and there's division, then there's all this other stuff.

00:04:07.360 I'm going to go improve anything I touch. That's a basic mentality. Well, what if they don't

00:04:13.100 appreciate you? You can't change the way I'm going to show up. I don't care if you don't appreciate

00:04:18.980 me. I'm showing up. What if they're not grateful for you? Your lack of gratitude is not going to

00:04:24.600 change the way I show up no matter where I go. Do you want to know why? Let me explain to you why.

00:04:30.080 21 years ago, I'm in Atlanta at a meeting where I'm becoming a broker. We're driving back to this

00:04:39.400 restaurant and it's an hour and 15 minute drive. Atlanta's got terrible traffic and we're coming

00:04:44.260 out from Duluth downtown, coming back up. If you're in Atlanta, you know what I'm talking about. Maybe

00:04:47.700 the worst traffic in America. I'm in the back the entire time with my next tail and those, you know,

00:04:53.840 you know, alien looking wireless stuff that you would put here. I'm on the phone the entire time on

00:04:58.180 the way there, on the way back. I'm calling clients. I'm calling my agents. The entire time

00:05:02.300 I'm driving, what's going on when I come back to make sure my schedule is full. Guys are turning

00:05:07.220 around and looking at me like this fricking guy. Like who is this guy? I think he is. I'm 25 years

00:05:11.000 old at the time. Fast forward 20 years later, I get an email. You know how many DMs and emails I've

00:05:17.360 gotten of the people that were on that bus? It was like 45, 50 of us. And they said, Pat, I thought you

00:05:22.500 were just an arrogant prick that was trying to show off that you're making calls. 20 years later, you were 0.73

00:05:27.560 making calls and we weren't. It's very simple. Everyone's watching how you show up every day.

00:05:34.400 I don't care where you are. Everybody's watching you. So when you show up, either the boss takes

00:05:39.140 notice, either a competitor takes notice, either somebody that's about to be boss takes notice,

00:05:43.960 but everybody's watching you. They're also watching the guy that's like, oh, you know what? That's not

00:05:48.160 fair. I'm just going to go and pout and sit in the corner. And I don't like this place. It's just unfair.

00:05:54.420 They watch that behavior as well. Those people, you are going to get fired. You should get fired,

00:05:59.420 matter of fact. Matter of fact, if you're a boss of a person like that, fire them right now. Maybe

00:06:03.440 have a conversation with them first and give them a second chance, but make sure you fire them

00:06:06.520 afterwards. If you're working for a company, always ask yourself, what is a company's vision

00:06:10.820 long-term? You know, because say you're working with somebody. I'm having this conversation yesterday.

00:06:15.420 I said, the guy that's run the company you're a part of, yes. How bad does he want to be a billionaire?

00:06:19.380 Very. Okay. How long do you think it's going to take him to be a billionaire? Say seven years.

00:06:25.120 Great. What does that mean to you? He needs people. Do you understand what I'm saying?

00:06:30.600 But imagine you're working at a place that the guy has no drive, no vision, no mission, nothing.

00:06:35.800 He's golfing five days a week. Where's the company going? You don't know. So if you have a job,

00:06:40.140 you also have to choose a company that you know long-term, where's that company going?

00:06:43.780 5, 10, 15, 20 years. The longer you know the vision long-term, the more you're protected,

00:06:47.400 especially if you're somebody that wants to work. But if you're out of place and the company has no

00:06:50.900 vision, what the hell am I doing here? You got to also make sure you're at a place that the company's

00:06:55.320 got a long-term vision. Every 30, 60, 90 days, specifically 90 days, the people that work with

00:07:00.460 you should say something happened with this guy. He changed. She changed. What happened? You didn't

00:07:04.040 used to do that. How did you learn how to do that? What did you do with this? Late night, no one's paying

00:07:07.780 attention. I'm learning a new skillset. I'm learning how to communicate better. Most people don't know what

00:07:12.540 we do over here. Just last week, we had Dale Carnegie Institute come with 32 of our managers that

00:07:17.340 are in the room. All day long, talk about how to win friends and influence people, except how to

00:07:22.200 manage your people better. How can you deliver tough messages in a more gentle way? What can we do?

00:07:27.360 That's what it was about because this is something we never get fully perfect at, right? Ritz Carlton

00:07:32.060 came and trained our managers. We'll send people to Crucial Learning. We'll send our guys to Harvard,

00:07:36.680 Wharton Business School. We send them to different places of management to find ways to upgrade them.

00:07:40.720 We're always doing that. You are supposed to do it yourself and you're supposed to do with people

00:07:45.000 around them. But if you're somebody that's got a job at a company, shock everybody 90 days and find a

00:07:49.280 way to improve. No one's going to say something happened to you. Companies want to keep people

00:07:53.000 like that. Next one, I'm talking to Paul, our CTO. He said something very interesting and I fully agree

00:07:58.640 with him. He says, the more the people in the company know the numbers and the business, how we make

00:08:03.180 money, the more they want to contribute in a better way. Just show them how to make money. The entire

00:08:08.180 meeting I had yesterday from noon till midnight was teaching our guys how EBITDA works and saying, the

00:08:15.380 investors, the only thing they want to hear is what? EBITDA. You keep making asks, but you don't ask yourself

00:08:22.480 what's important to them. When you look at the business and you're like, oh, EBITDA, perfect. What if we grow the

00:08:27.860 EBITDA by this percentage? Can we get this? Yes. So now understand the business, whatever company you're a part of,

00:08:33.440 understand how they make money, understand how they grow. That's going to give you an edge over

00:08:37.300 your peers that are just kind of like, give me a raise. What about this for me? No, no. I want to

00:08:41.560 learn about the business so I can help the company grow. And by the way, something very simple that

00:08:45.120 everybody's got to be paying attention. I'm using ChadGBT right now more than ever before. I don't 1.00

00:08:49.380 even know the last time I went on Google to Google anything. It's ChadGBT right now. You have to learn

00:08:53.820 the prompts. So whatever job you got, you have to learn all the AI. There's different AI tools. You got to

00:08:58.920 look at that cloud computing, cybersecurity, digital marketing, SEO, product management,

00:09:03.700 all of that stuff's going to be there. And now long-term, long-term, you know, what's becoming

00:09:08.260 very valuable. Do you know why Manect is growing the way that it is? You can ask me any question you

00:09:12.000 want. And a guy says to me, Pat, you know, why don't you create an AI ChadGBT that responds based

00:09:19.300 on all the books and content you have? You don't need to record and say anything to people. I said,

00:09:23.460 no, but let me tell you, the more everything's becoming about machine, the more you're going to

00:09:28.660 care that I'm answering this to you in an audio. And I'm talking to you while I'm upstairs changing,

00:09:34.940 while I'm washing my hands, while you're hearing my kids in the car, the more human interaction is

00:09:40.560 becoming important. AI goes like this. Trust me, the need for human interaction is going to go like

00:09:46.260 this. The first thing we all learned during COVID when we're not around each other is what? We wanted

00:09:50.460 to be around each other. The same people that annoyed you, you wish they were around you.

00:09:54.940 That's never going away. Never. Maybe a thousand years from now when robots are going to take over

00:10:00.600 and they're going to fight each other. And we're kind of watching, you know, the URFC,

00:10:04.660 ultimate robot fighting champion or whatever that we're going to be watching till that day.

00:10:08.220 That's a long time from now. For now, we're going to need that human interaction. Get better at human

00:10:13.640 nature. If you're watching this and you want to interact with a human being, send me Manect. Ask me any 1.00

00:10:18.820 questions on this. Maybe you got an interview coming up. Maybe you want to know as a CEO who does a lot of

00:10:22.740 different interviews, what I look for, what I don't like interviews. This is the QR code. Download

00:10:26.920 the app. Ask me any questions. If I don't have the answer, I'll introduce you to somebody. I'm going

00:10:30.300 to make you ask me any questions. And if you got value out of this video, give it a thumbs up and

00:10:33.840 subscribe to the channel. I did a video titled AI replacing 85 million jobs. If you've never seen

00:10:39.020 it, click here to watch it. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.
