No economy is immune to dismissal and with the increased implementation of artificial intelligence and the unprecedented adjustment of last year’s employment figures, it seems likely that we have taken a period in which RIF’s are usual. Lufthansa Airlines announced his plan Renew 4,000 administrative jobs by 2030And Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, just said that the world’s largest bank will be “fundamentally again wired” for the new AI era.
These are two of the many examples that represent mass, disturbing changes in our economy and our way of life. And although most of us will eventually be hit in one way or another, we don’t have to clash without hope. Whether you are already let go or worry that you might be the next, the key is to change the way you see yourself, which means that the prospect of the transition is less frightening and possibly even liberating.
The core problem for many who lose their jobs is that they define themselves scary, which limits their identity to a single role or industry. When fired, they feel in a box and unable to pursue work after their last position. That often scares them, depressed and even the victim.

Without the challenge to be fired, I would encourage employees who go through the process to get a more complete, insightful picture of who they are and what they should do. To do that, they must see themselves in terms of the unique, transferable gifts they have received, that can be applied to a wide range of jobs in just about any industry.
One of the best ways I know to identify those gifts is through the idea of ​​’working genius’. There are six types of work that appear in every job, in every industry:
- Wonder – Think about opportunities for improvement
- Invention – think of new ideas
- Distingance – Evaluation of ideas and solutions
- Galvananizing – collect others to act
- Enablement – Answering the call to help
- Pestacity – pushing things to the finish
The truth is that none of us is good in all six. Every person in every industry has two types of work that give them energy and joy; This is where your working geniuses are.

On the other hand, everyone has two types that they remove and that they are not doing well. We call those working frustrations.
The remaining two types of work fall somewhere in the middle, neither particularly stimulating nor tapping. We call those work competencies.
Here is a question that everyone who goes through a dismissal must consider: how much harder will it be to find a job if you do not understand your geniuses and frustrations – and if you do not realize that gifts are not bound to one role or one industry?

Let’s look at an example to answer that question. Let’s say that you are a computer programmer and that your company decides that AI can do most of your work. If you only see yourself as a programmer, your job hunt will feel desperate and discouraging because you will compete with a stream of other programmers for fewer positions.

But if you look at your natural, transferable geniuses instead, everything changes. Let’s say that your geniuses are invention and tenacity. That means that you like to develop new ideas and then pursue solutions until they are ready.
While you are looking for a job, you can now look much further than programming and even technology, where you explore a much wider spectrum of vacancies that someone needs with your geniuses. By doing this, you will realize that there are many roles in a wide range of industries that someone like you need, and that your prospects for success and job satisfaction will be much higher in a job that matches your talents.
Ironically, you could notice that your previous job did not really allow you to use your geniuses. Many people get jobs on fields they studied at school, and many just fall into a job because of the circumstance. But deliberately one career That is better with their geniuses, can lead to them realizing that being fired, as difficult as it has been, was exactly what they needed.

Of course no job is perfect. We all have to do things that do not perfectly match our strengths. But when we spend most of our time working in our geniuses, we find meaning and fulfillment. If we don’t, we feel stuck.

What we need is a paradigm shift, to think about our role and industry and instead to concentrate on our skills given by God. The world needs those gifts. And if you find a job with which you can use them, you might look back and you don’t see the resignation as a curse but like a blessing.
