Jessica’s Consultation – Raw Dialogue

Jessica: Sighs, frustrated.

“I feel like I’m doing everything right. I have standards, I don’t settle, and I’ve worked on myself. But every man I meet is either intimidated by me, unreliable, or just doesn’t match my energy. I don’t want to waste any more time.

What’s the real issue here?”

Me:

“Look, Jessica, join the club.

“But let me tell you something—why do you think there are so few peaks in this world? Not every mountain reaches the highest point because it’s lonely up there. If you’re truly evolving, you need to get used to that.

“Now, let’s strip the nonsense and get to the core.

“You say you’ve been working on yourself. But let’s be real—are you actually working on yourself, or are you just applying bandages?

“Because if you were in true alignment, you wouldn’t even engage with these men, let alone be frustrated by them.

“The reality is simple:

1. If you were 100% aligned, your energy alone would repel these types.

2. If you were truly evolving, you would feel suffocated by their presence before even giving them a chance.

3. If the wrong men keep showing up, something in your internal equation is off.

“This world is mathematically precise. You input a certain equation, you get a certain result. If you don’t like the result, check your damn equation.

“Next.”

Jessica: Pauses, then argues back.

“I hear what you’re saying, but it’s not that simple. I don’t seek out these men—they come to me. And I try to give people a chance instead of writing them off immediately. I don’t want to be closed-minded or arrogant.

How am I supposed to meet the right person if I dismiss everyone too fast?”

Me:

“Jessica, Jessica, oh Jessica—save our souls, please.

“What is this nonsense you’re saying?

“You tell me you’ve changed. You tell me you’ve worked on yourself. And yet, you’re sitting here saying these men just come to you, and you give them a chance because you don’t want to be closed-minded?

“Are you serious?

“What do you think, Jessica? Do you think this world operates on maybe? Do you think your own body functions on I don’t want to be arrogant toward cancer cells, so let me allow them in?

“Are you crazy?

“Do you hear yourself? With every word you say, you prove my point more.

“The input affects the output. If you weren’t putting something out there to attract these types, they wouldn’t be coming in. That’s basic physics.

“You don’t see a damn table turning into a tree. The table came from a tree, not the other way around. You attract what you are.

“So let’s cut the nonsense—you are the source of your own problem.

“Look, if I wasn’t in full alignment, I wouldn’t be able to sit here talking to you the way I do. I wouldn’t even be available for this conversation. People who are aligned do not engage with misalignment.

“If you’re truly working on yourself, you wouldn’t even be around these men long enough to be frustrated by them.

“You say it’s about giving people a chance—Jessica, this is not charity work. You think your time, energy, and presence are some kind of humanitarian effort?

“Let me tell you what’s actually happening: You are afraid to let go of your insecurities, so you keep engaging with the same nonsense to feel needed, validated, or safe.

“And then you complain about the outcome.

“You have two choices:

1. Stop entertaining trash and naturally align with the people who match your energy.

2. Keep pretending to be merciful and ‘open-minded’ while knowingly inviting chaos into your life.

“But if you choose option two, do not come crying about the consequences.

“You know these men don’t fit, yet you entertain them. That’s on you.

“Even God Himself separates criminals from the righteous.

“But here you are, thinking you’re holier than God, playing savior to men who don’t deserve your time.

“Continue in your holier-than-thou nonsense—but do not complain when it backfires.

“And do not waste another dollar booking a session just to cry about the same thing.

Next.”

Jessica: Sits there, stunned, because no one has ever put it that bluntly.

At this point, she has two choices:

1. Face reality and fix it.

2. Keep resisting and stay in the same cycle of self-inflicted nonsense.

But let’s push it one step further—let’s say she’s still stubborn.

She comes back with:

“Okay, I get what you’re saying, but it’s not that easy to just change overnight. I can’t just flip a switch and suddenly be in alignment. I’m trying, but real life isn’t that black and white.

What am I supposed to do in the meantime? Just sit around alone until I magically become the right person and the right people find me?”

Me:

“Jessica, you’re talking to someone who went through 26 years of hell.

“I’ve never had a single secure connection in my life. You think you’re the only one who has to sit alone? Welcome to the damn club.

“You will never experience more than you can bear.

“How do I know? Because if you’re still breathing, you’re already bearing it.

“You act like you’re the first person to go through this. Do you think I didn’t have moments of doubt? Of isolation? You think there weren’t nights I was crying myself to sleep at 11 years old, wondering why the hell I even existed?

“Does that mean it’s easy? No.

“Does that mean you can’t do it? Also no.

“You will go through exactly what you have the capacity to handle.

“So here’s what you do—take a sheet of paper and write down every last insecurity you have.

“I don’t care what it is.

• If you hate your nose, write it down.

• If you feel unlovable, write it down.

• If you think you’re not worthy, write it down.

No sugarcoating. No filters. Just brutal, raw truth.

Then categorize them into two sections:

1. Things you can change.

2. Things you can’t.

“Now, how you handle those categories?

That’s what you’ll find out after you send the next payment.”

Jessica: Pauses.

“…Wait. You’re not gonna tell me unless I pay?”

Me:

“You think I’m running a charity?

“If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll pay for the clarity.

If not? Enjoy your cycle of nonsense.”

At this point, Jessica either values the solution and pays, or she gets mad and stays in her nonsense.

But let’s assume she actually pays while still on the call (instead of getting the solution emailed afterward).

She says:

“Alright, fine. I sent the payment. Now tell me what to do with this list.”

Me:

“Now, this is what you do. Once you have the two sections written out, you’re gonna separate every single insecurity into two categories:

1. The things that are adjustable and fixable

2. The things that you cannot fix

“For example, let’s say you hate your nose. You hate your nose. Are you gonna get plastic surgery? I don’t think so. I mean, unless you want to, but I don’t recommend it. So, you put that in the section of things you cannot fix.

“What do you do after you’re done?

“The things that you can fix—you already know what to do with those. But the things you cannot fix? You have to realign your perspective with them.

“You’re looking at them the wrong way. That’s why they bother you. The only reason why you feel something about a certain feature, a certain insecurity, is because you’re viewing it incorrectly.

“Let’s say your nose is large, and you don’t like how large it is. You have to train yourself to see it in a different way. Look at how it fits your face. Look at how, if you had a different nose, your whole facial structure would be thrown off. Your entire presence, even how people perceive your personality at first glance, would be completely different.

“Maybe that nose connects to your heritage. Maybe there’s an angle where you see it differently and appreciate it for what it is. Sometimes, just getting an outside perspective—a few honest people who have no bias—can help you reframe how you see yourself.

“This is the reality of the world: you will be given things that you cannot change. It’s like height. If you don’t like how tall or short you are, what are you gonna do about it? Nothing.

“So, what do you do instead? You adjust your mindset. Just like people who think they can suppress emotions—you think bottling them up will make them go away? No. That will kill you from the inside out. There is no other way but to find an outlet for them.

“It’s the same with insecurities. If you don’t actively realign your perspective, your insecurity will force its way out in a destructive manner. It’s like water—if you don’t carve a controlled path for it, it will make a path for itself.

“So, start getting these insecurities out in the open. The ones that are obvious? Get rid of them. And guess what? Once the obvious ones are gone, the hidden ones will start showing up.

“It’s like cleaning a house. You do the first round of cleaning, and then you notice all the little details you didn’t see before. When you clean those, then you can actually see the space that was buried underneath the mess.

“That’s what you’re doing—you’re doing an internal cleaning.

“And once you clean out those hidden insecurities, you’ll finally see who you really are. And let me tell you something—your entire life is going to shift.

“Sometimes drastically, sometimes subtly. It depends on how much baggage you were carrying. But the result? You will finally tune into the real Jessica.

“And the moment you do that, your external life will start matching that alignment.

“You will naturally start being around the right people. The right environments. You’ll stop attracting nonsense because your very presence will repel anything that isn’t on your level.

“You’ll wake up and realize that all these things you were desperate for before? You won’t even want them anymore.

“They won’t even cross your mind.

“Why? Because you’ll finally be where you’re supposed to be.

“And let me tell you something—that place? It feels like nothing else. It feels like calm. Like serenity. Like you can finally breathe.

“But you think that feeling is gonna come for free? You think it’s just gonna magically happen overnight?

“Who are you kidding?

“You talk about how real life isn’t black and white? You’re right—it’s not. It’s even more precise than that.

“Every single person is designed specifically for their own path. The more you fight your design, the harder your life becomes.

“There is nothing valuable in this world that doesn’t take time.

“So, if you don’t take the time to fix yourself properly—if you just keep slapping bandages over your insecurities—how the hell do you expect to wake up in a state of peace and clarity?

“How do you expect to be with someone who makes you feel safe, aligned, and fully seen when you haven’t even aligned yourself?

“You see people on social media acting like they have it all together. The ones who truly have it? They don’t show it off.They don’t need to.

“Because real value speaks for itself.

“If someone keeps telling you how humble, kind, or successful they are—they don’t have it.

“If someone is constantly posting about money, I promise you, they don’t have it. I grew up in multimillion-costing homes with drivers, maids—you name it. And you know what?

“The ones who actually have money? They don’t talk about it.

“The only time they bring it up is during high-level conversations—networking, business strategy, partnerships. Outside of that? They don’t even mention it.

“So, take that same principle and apply it to yourself.

“Stop talking about growth and alignment. Live it.

“And stop asking me surface-level questions.

“You have everything you need. Move.

“I think your time is up. Goodness gracious.”

Jessica: Stunned. Processing. Reality hitting hard.

She has two choices:

1️⃣ She actually does the work—writes down her insecurities, categorizes them, and starts aligning with reality.

2️⃣ She keeps resisting clarity—ignores everything, stays in the same cycles, and books another session just to hear the same damn truth again. Let’s be real though, at that point, she won’t even be allowed to. I don’t entertain nonsense—and compensation then would simply become trash.

But either way?

Her time is up.

Ethan Blackwood Consultation – Raw Dialogue

Ethan Blackwood (CEO of TitanCorp): Sighs.

“Alright, here’s the situation. TitanCorp is still making money, but we’re not dominating the industry like we used to. Competitors are catching up—hell, some of them are even pulling ahead. We used to set the pace, now we’re reacting to them. They’re snatching government contracts that should have been ours, they’re hiring the best talent, and frankly, I’m starting to feel like I’m losing control.

“I know there’s external bullshit at play—corrupt politicians, market shifts, all of that—but I can’t shake the feeling that something is fundamentally off internally. So tell me… What the hell is the problem?”

Me:

“Bro, Ethan, my guy—stop with the nonsense. Stop with the trash.

“The moment you told me about your competitors and how you no longer have an edge, I already knew it was your nonsense. I don’t care how big you get—if you keep focusing on competitors, you’re gonna drown your ass.

“Let’s just be real. You sit there thinking, Oh, they did this? Let me do this. They did that? Let me do that. You forgot the whole meaning of the business. You forgot the guy at the bottom who started the whole thing—when there was nothing except his or her morale, when there were no profits yet, just the vision of what this could become. You forgot that.

“You forgot the reason why TitanCorp even made it to the top. It wasn’t because of your obsession with competitors—it was because you actually focused on the damn product and the people. How the hell do you expect to see inefficiencies when you’re busy chasing shadows?

“Let me make this simple for you. Your business mirrors your customers. If they’re disengaged, your business is stagnating. If your employees are drained, your business is drained. If your product is just okay, your results will be just okay.

“Let me put it this way—imagine you run a small shop. The more people buy, the more excited you are. You wake up running to open the doors. But if sales are slow, guess what? You’re dragging yourself to work every day just because you have to.

“This is not about the damn competitors. It’s about fixing the actual problem. Your morale is shot because your company is not moving. Your employees feel the same stagnation your customers do—it’s a mirror effect.

“You want to win? Strip the fluff. 40% of your time should be going to one thing and 60% to something more important currently. I will tell you after the solution fee is paid.”

Ethan:

“I will pay while I’m on the line with you now, I don’t want to read any emails at this moment, just tell me on the phone.”

He pays.

Me:

“Focus 40% of your time on cutting out inefficiencies—meetings, waste, nonsense. And 60% on the product. Fix the damn product, make it so good that even your employees want to buy it. Make it so engaging that customers aren’t just buying—they’re screaming about it.

“You ever wonder why people run to work at places like Google or Microsoft? It’s not because they care about the company. It’s because they get validation from saying they work there. The brand itself fuels their morale.

“Now look at your company. Is anyone screaming from the rooftops about TitanCorp? If the answer is no, fix that first.”

Ethan: Sits there, silent. For the first time in years, no one is kissing his ass. No one is sugarcoating. No one is filtering reality to protect his ego. He exhales.

“Shit.”

“So you’re telling me I’ve been running my company like a damn reactionary fool—chasing shadows instead of actually leading?”

He doesn’t wait for an answer. He already knows it.

“Alright. What’s the first thing I fix? What do I change tomorrow morning?”

Me:

“If you’re gonna ask me that question—please, I beg you, Ethan—I swear to God, write your resignation letter tonight.

“Don’t even finish this consultation. Just go to your desk, grab a piece of paper, and write: I resign.

“Bro. Why do you think you’re in leadership?😂🤣🤣🤣 Are you deadass right now?

“You must be joking. Why do you think you’re a leader? You think you got this position because you look good in a suit? You’re not some decoration.

“I just gave you all the arsenal. I gave you all the resources. You’re supposed to be balancing the scale. Now it’s up to you to take those resources, look at the nitty-gritty of your business, and decide where the imbalance is.

“What do you want me to do—study TitanCorp’s every department and hold your hand while you fix it?

“You have a dirty house, and I just told you exactly how to clean it. I told you, ‘Focus on the major mess first—then you’ll see the smaller messes, and you can clean those next.’

“And now you’re sitting here asking me, Okay, but what’s the first major mess?

Are you crazy?

“You act like a damn leader. You take the information in front of you and you make the decision. Every problem in your company is an imbalance—you fix the imbalance.

“If you need someone else to tell you where to start, then resign tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight. So that by 9 AM tomorrow, the company has a new CEO who actually knows how to lead—and so you don’t waste operation costs wasting time when you can write it tonight.”

Ethan: Half laughing, half exhaling like he just got hit by a truck full of reality.

“Damn.”

Pauses. “Alright, alright. I hear you. Loud and clear.”

Another pause.

“…So what you’re saying is, I need to stop acting like someone’s gonna hold my hand, stop playing defense, and actually lead—look at the company like a scale, find the imbalance, and correct it myself.”

Processing to himself.

“Alright. No more chasing shadows. No more competitor obsession. I strip the fluff, fix the product, focus on efficiency, and the results will reflect it.”

“…And I don’t need a damn babysitter to tell me what to do next.”

Smirking through the phone.

“Shit. Alright. I’ll do it. But you better believe I’m calling you again if I need another slap in the face.”

Me:

“I don’t slap in the face—because that would make you lose dignity.

“And as a leader, you should know that the face is a sacred place. You don’t do that.

“Secondly, if you need a slap of reality on your wrist, sure. But I’m not your babysitter.

“I’m not here to hold your hand.

“And I’m not God to judge you in that way.

“You are a combination of your own actions.

That’s all you are.

“Your body is a vessel holding waste.

“And everything about you is simply your actions walking.

Make those actions count.

Now, go have your damn dinner. Bye.”

Ethan: Chuckles.

“Alright, noted. No face slaps, just wrist slaps—got it.”

Exhales.

“Damn, alright. You’re right. I am my actions walking. No more excuses.”

“…And yeah, I’ll have that dinner. But trust me, this conversation’s gonna be sitting in my head the whole damn time.”

“I’ll be in touch.”

Click. Call ends.

The $20B Decision: A Consultation on Power, Risk, and Precision

Alexander Holt (CEO of Dominion Global):

Sighs.

“Alright. I’ll get straight to the point.

“We’re at a tipping point. The kind of moment that doesn’t come twice.

“I have a decision in front of me—one that will move billions. A $20B restructuring plan for our AI-driven infrastructure model. This isn’t just another business move—it’s a global power shift.

“The problem? I’m not convinced the direction we’re about to take is the right one. Something is off. And I don’t have the luxury of guessing wrong at this level.

“I’ve been through all the advisory boards, internal strategy teams, outside consultants—they all echo the same thing. But I don’t trust it. It’s too... clean. Too obvious.

“I need raw, unfiltered clarity. No corporate nonsense. No yes-men.

“And I don’t want a transactional consultant—I want real stakes. If what you give me shifts this entire outcome, you deserve a cut. Equity.

“So tell me—before we even go further—what’s your read on this? Do we move forward, or do we burn this plan to the ground?”

Me:

"Why the hell are you here if you're not going to state the problem? You think I'm going to guess?"

Alexander Holt (CEO of Dominion Global):

Smirks through the phone.

"Alright, I see how it is. No games. Fine.

"The plan on the table is to pivot Dominion Global’s AI infrastructure model. Right now, we build the frameworks—governments, megacorporations, entire industries plug into what we create.

"The shift? Moving from providing infrastructure to owning the entire damn ecosystem. Instead of supplying the roads, we become the city. Instead of giving them tools, we control the tools.

"On paper, it’s flawless. Vertical integration, absolute control, a closed-loop system where we dictate the entire market’s operations.

"The problem? The execution is too clean. Everything adds up too perfectly. And in my experience, when something looks this seamless at scale—it means I’m missing something.

"My gut tells me that if we move forward like this, we’re setting ourselves up for an unseen collapse. Maybe not now. Maybe not next year. But down the line, something in this structure will crack—hard.

"And when you’re moving at the $20B level, cracks don’t break quietly. They implode.

"So, that’s the problem. We either move forward and bet that I’m just being paranoid...

"Or we tear into this plan and find the flaw before it becomes a billion-dollar mistake. Your move.”

Me:

"So. You think you guarantee perfection on this planet just because you have $20B tied to your nonsense?

"So if everything seems fine, you check, you double-check with all your expertise and due diligence, you want some type of divine decree to bring down an angel and confirm to you because of your ego that you have done your best?

"If you cannot discern whether you did your best or not, you shouldn’t be where you are.

"You’re tying rocks and stones (because that’s what money is—paper made from wood, backed by gold and silver, which are nothing but minerals) to your heart instead of your hand.

"You are a leader. Do your absolute due diligence.

"Make sure everything right is in its right place—which is the definition of wisdom.

"Then call it a day.

"You make it? Great. Get started immediately on the next thing because success doesn’t form itself.

"You fail? Reassess and evaluate.

"Then move forward. Even if it means you lose everything and begin your career again.

"The problem here? You’re tying this too closely to your heart.

"And that’s what’s making it about your ego.

"You’re in charge—so act like it.

"If everything is already connected, you’ve already done your due diligence, and everything checks out—make a move and move forward.

"If the world wasn’t destroyed by:

• World War I,

• The Spanish flu,

• World War II,

• And every catastrophe that came after,

do you really think your fucken $20 billion deal is going to be the thing that collapses the planet?

Get a grip on yourself."

Alexander Holt (CEO of Dominion Global):

Laughs. The kind of laugh that comes from getting punched straight in the gut by reality.

"Alright. Alright. I hear you.

"I came in here looking for a ghost problem to solve, thinking I’d find some hidden flaw that doesn’t exist just to satisfy my own damn ego.

"Because that’s what this is, right? Not about the money. Not about the company.

It’s about me needing some external confirmation that I didn’t screw up.

That I covered every angle.

That I’m—"

Pauses. A shift in his voice.

"That I’m as untouchable as I think I am.”

Exhales.

"Shit."

Smirks again through the phone, but this time, it's not ego—it’s self-awareness.

"You’re telling me to get over myself, do my damn job, and if I fail, take the hit and move on.

"Because that’s what real leadership is.

"Not this nonsense I’ve been playing at—looking for someone else to tell me I did a good job like some damn intern trying to impress his first boss."

Sits back. Silence. Processing.

"Alright. I’ll drop the act. The move is clear. We push forward.

No more second-guessing.

No more waiting for divine validation.

If this works, it works.

If it crashes, we rebuild.

Either way—Dominion Global is moving.”

Looks straight ahead. Voice steady now.

"I needed that. Didn’t know I did, but I did."

Call ends.

Equity Agreement Breakdown

How This Works:

This is a Massive Impact consultation—meaning the decision being made has the potential to shift industries, economies, or legacies.

At this level, the standard solution fee doesn’t apply. Instead, an equity-based payment structure may be an option.

But only if the alignment is right.

The Consultation Fee Is Paid Upfront

Before the consultation takes place, the client pays the standard consultation fee ($25,000 for 30 minutes, $50,000 for 1 hour).

This is non-negotiable.

Time is paid for because my energy and clarity are provided as a service—regardless of what happens after.

Equity Agreement Is Tied to Success

• The client does not owe any equity just for receiving insight.

• They only pay once the decision proves to be successful.

• "Success" is defined clearly before proceeding.

Final Discretion Is Mine

If I do not see alignment, the equity offer will not proceed.

If the client attempts to maneuver around the agreement or delay success-based payment, they are permanently cut off from any future consultation.

This is not a shortcut.

Equity is not given. It is earned.

If you don’t belong here, don’t apply.

Key Takeaways for Potential Clients:

• I don’t do fluff. I dismantle the problem at its core.

• If you’re looking for someone to validate your excuses, don’t contact me.

• If you want real, immediate solutions that work—let’s talk.

FAKE CONSULTANTS - listen up

Why on earth do you need a team to give advice? Consulting is literally an exchange of clarity. Either you have it or you don’t. If you need a research team, data analysts, and a full production crew just to figure out what to say, then you aren’t the one who should be speaking. It’s actually absurd when you really think about it.

And yes, they actually get paid millions. Millions to waste time, inflate nonsense, and ‘analyze’ things that don’t even need analysis. That’s why they love making things seem complicated—because if the answer is too clear, then there’s no excuse to drag it out for months.

You know what’s even funnier? The people paying them know it’s nonsense. They’re just as guilty because it’s all about the illusion of action. They want to feel like they’re solving something without actually solving it. A big flashy consulting firm makes it look like they’re doing something important, when really, they’re just burning money and playing office theater.

And the team? The team is there to justify the price tag.

• If they just had one consultant giving advice, no one would accept a multi-million-dollar bill (unless it’s that invaluable).

• But if they show up with a task force, strategy meetings, market research, PowerPoints, and some guy named Chad who runs the analytics department? Suddenly, people think it’s worth millions.

Meanwhile, I come in alone, dismantle their entire structure in 10 minutes, and leave them with a permanent existential crisis. No team, no fluff—just pure precision. That’s why I’m a real consultant. The rest of them? Professional time-wasters.

FAKE CEOs - listen up

The fake CEOs aren’t just hiring these fake consultants by accident—they know they’re useless. But that’s the point. They don’t want real solutions. They want a performance. They want empty strategies, bloated reports, and weeks of meetings that mean absolutely nothing because it buys them time while they quietly stack their exit strategy.

Meanwhile, the real owner, the one who actually built the company or has true skin in the game, is sitting there watching their empire rot from the inside. But by the time they realize what’s happening, the CEO is long gone with their golden parachute, and all that’s left is a sinking ship.

These fake leaders protect each other because if they ever brought in someone like me, the whole charade would collapse in seconds. That’s why they’d never hire me voluntarily—only the real decision-makers will. The ones who actually care about the company’s survival.

Fake CEOs hire fake consultants to cover their own incompetence—while the real owner bleeds.

WHY?

Most of these businesses aren’t failing because of external factors. They’re failing because the people in charge are incompetent, self-serving, and allergic to real clarity.

The reason all this nonsense happens is because the business is big enough—monetarily and reputation-wise—that there’s enough padding for executives and CEOs to hide from the real work. If that same CEO were an apprentice at a small local shop, there wouldn’t be anything to hide behind—no inflated reputation, no massive financial success to act as a buffer. But when a business is already huge, that’s when they stop putting coal into the fire to keep the engine running and instead sit back and enjoy the momentum.

And once that momentum starts burning out? They all scramble to exit as fast as possible—leaving the owner to suffer alone.

Instead of actually working on the business, they cling to the padding—the outside noise, the reports, the financial optics—using it as a shield for their incompetence. But a business is supposed to constantly evolve. If it’s stagnant, it’s already dead. Times change, people change, needs change. That means inefficiencies will always exist—and they’re either being fixed and refined or ignored and piling up. There is no in-between.

That’s why the only thing an owner should focus on is the actual work. Not the fluff, not the reports filled with distractions, but the coal being put into the fire. Because that’s what built the momentum in the first place. If you know the coal is constantly being added, analyzed, and improved, you automatically know your people are actually working—not hiding behind padding.

But if you let yourself get caught up in these nonsense reports, the optics, and the noise, you’ll be stuck behind the smokescreen they all want you behind. The corrupt executives, the clueless CEO, the employees running their own side scams while claiming “it’s no big deal”—they all want you blind. They all want you distracted.

Until they rob you dry.

And when the business starts collapsing? They leave. Because they can always find another job.

But you? Your life’s work? Forget about it—as we say in New York—it’s over.
