Sacked


I learnt today that a great professional I know got laid down.

After more than 30 years in the same company.

Delivering amazing projects.

Making millions… if not billions – yes, with “b” for the company.

A big, important guy.

A great guy, by the way.

Personally and professionally.

He’s shocked.

And in his late 50s… after being at the top in uncountable projects, deciding over the lives of hundreds of employees, contractors and subcontractors.

He feels vulnerable.

​

Not sure if you had realized.

But depending on one salary.

On one single stream of revenues.

It’s the closest thing to slavery.

You may live in a “free” country.

But you depend on masters whose mood you can’t control.

​

If you feel now scared…

Congrats.

That’s the first step for freedom.

​

The next one is arming yourself with knowledge and mindset to break your chains.

It’s existential and professional. So time to be honest with yourself. If you do great things that nobody sees. If you want to pass from...

“I work in infrastructure, but not on the projects that matter.” Strong CV Solid experience Little access to top projects Professionally stuck Feels like “they always choose others”… Life in the comfort zone tends to be short… As you become replaceable. Always in operational roles Not standing out Just another piece in the puzzle Still, you are ambitious. You want better. • Access PPPs / megaprojects • Higher salary • Stronger personal brand • Better career And you don’t want theory. But...

Problem: I work on multi-billion-dollar projects… and I still don’t understand how anyone makes money. And if you have it… You’re not the only one. You’re parachuted in projects and they expect you to know everything. Little training. Almost no mentoring. You get your head over the water or you sink. What if I told you that there is a place where You’ll understand how a PPP is structured Who makes money When Why And how to avoid being the one who loses Yeah… Unfiltered opinion about How money...
