The Obstacle is the Way

We're standing before the obstacle right now.

The workforce is collapsing. Employees are burned out, disengaged, trapped. We've normalized misery - Sunday scaries, Monday dread, TGIF, parents too exhausted to read one more story because they had a long day at work. We make memes about it instead of fixing it.

Progress has stalled. Not because people are lazy. Because the system is broken.

For decades, we've been building workplaces on shoddy foundations - made without thought, without insight. And when they collapse, we don't take the time to analyze where everything went wrong. We just hurry to rebuild the same crumbling structure, faster and cheaper than before.

But there's another choice: plow through the thorns, underbrush, and overgrown vegetation to carve a new path forward.

A sustainable future where roots run deep and support is built-in, not an afterthought. Where people don't dread work - and if they ever do, they're free to leave and find a place where they belong. Where AI transforms our duties into something that doesn't drown us, letting us work smarter, not longer. There's space for everybody, and there's space for innovation.

That's what an antifragile workforce could yield.
