Each stage of life has things to do and distances that can be calculated.
This isn't your problem; it's a structural change.
It's not "I'm not good enough," but "I've accumulated 15 years of experience and been replaced by tools and cheaper people."
Verification Signals (count as valid if two or more are met):
· Income has stagnated or decreased for ≥2 years
· Core work can be replaced by new people + tools
· No non-labor income
Capital Theory / Economics
Increasing Organic Composition: Capital is increasingly invested in machines and technology, relatively less in people. The manifestation is——the same work can be done by tools + new people, and your experience premium is flattened.
This is not a moral issue, but a structural issue. Therefore, the countermeasure is not "work harder," but:
① Move to places where the organic composition has not risen yet
② Become a user of tools, not a person replaced by tools
Have the ability to not be afraid of unemployment
Not prove value through overtime
Be able to support this family
What to look at
Substitutability · Non-labor income ratio · Judgment work ratio
How to judge
Question: How long will it take for a new person + tool to take over my work
Health status
Taking over >6 months · Non-labor ≥20% · Judgment ≥60%
Prove yourself by working overtime —— The more you prove, the more quantifiable it is
Stay in the same industry —— This is a structural change across the entire industry
Blame the problem on myself —— Structural problems are not personal failures
Resign and start a business —— No verification, no capital
Only send resumes —— Not friendly to 35+ year-olds
Calculate: How long will it take for tools + new people to take over my work
Amplify the non-substitutable parts (judgment / relationships / responsibility)
Establish income that does not rely on working hours
If a transformation is necessary, do it in small steps first
Remember: This isn't because you're not good enough; it's because the organic composition of capital has risen
