Hi,

Looking for answers to the puzzling headlines you’ve been seeing? It's a global market shift: employee productivity is down, and the number of worked hours is up; businesses are laying off and employees are still resigning. All of those things seem to be counterintuitive but it is almost scripted from what Tim and Dan have been predicting for over a year.

January got off to a rocky start for many tech companies that continued their layoffs from December. Crunchbase reported over 46,000 workers were laid off in the tech sector alone in the first 3 weeks of the year. As executives convened in Davos, they agreed that inflation will be contained, a recession will be controlled, and a global meltdown is not in play. The consensus was that many would have some difficult calls during this next earning season.

“While there are many causative factors including the war in Ukraine and inflation, Tim and I started pinpointing a ground shift a year ago on the World from Here on The Top 3 Cures for the Great Resignation in February. We’ve also been stating how centralized companies and middleman entities will continue to migrate to decentralized entities over the next 5 years, which is a part of what we’re seeing transpire right now,” said Dan Gay, CMO at BlockCerts.

Simon Sinek also discussed this resignation six months later as “A great market correction to companies treating people as a number on a balance sheet. More people are willing to leave based on the unknown. There is a large percentage of people that are saying I just don’t want this. It’s a great opportunity to double down on culture,” said Sinek.

You’ll want to listen to Tim Vasko’s new podcast below, he describes “Evolutionary Game Theory in action in what we are seeing, and living today, as the balance of power shifts. The evolution of technology, information access, data privacy, autonomous cloud-driven by algorithms and AI, as well as authentication has changed the game. In essence, the “balance of power is shifting.”
