The Ninety-Day Pivot

53% of laid-off workers believe AI contributed to their job loss. Only 22% were ever told.

If your role was thinned out by automation, the most useful thing to understand in week one is that this is a structural event, not a personal verdict — and the two call for completely different responses. One calls for self-examination. The other calls for repositioning. People who spend the first month on the former lose the month.

A 23-page playbook for the three months after. Structured, sequenced, and blunt about what works.

Inside:

• Week one: runway, terms, and the one list to write before your access is cut
• The inventory — decomposing fifteen years of job titles into two or three portable capabilities
• Three filters for choosing a target, including the one about whether the role survives the next decade
• The translation problem: why you're not under-qualified, you're under-translated
• Why conversations beat applications, and the approach that actually gets replies
• A three-tier application system, and the one column in your tracker that tells you where to spend effort
• What to do if day ninety arrives and nothing has landed — diagnosed by where the process stopped

Only 14% of people in your position plan to return to similar work. This is for the other 86%.
