Jack Dorsey just fired 4,000 people. Block's gross profit last quarter: $2.87 billion. Up 24% year-over-year. This wasn't a struggling company cutting costs. This was a healthy company making a bet. His exact words: "I'd rather get there honestly and on our own terms than be forced into it reactively." Then he said something that should make every CEO pay attention: "Most companies are late to this realization. Within the next year, the majority will reach the same conclusion." The stock jumped 18-24%. Investors loved it. Bloomberg questioned it — calling it possible "AI-washing." Here's Wicflow's take: Dorsey is half right. He's right that most companies are carrying roles AI can now handle. The math doesn't lie. He's wrong that most companies will fire 40% of their people. What will actually happen is quieter: Companies will stop replacing people who leave. They'll restructure teams. They'll hire differently. Not fewer people. Different people. The role every company needs in 2026 isn't "marketer" or "analyst." It's the person who can make AI do the work of five marketers and five analysts. If that's you, your value just went up. If it's not, it's time to learn.
