Why is this even a post you decided to make, who is this informative to?
The point to Gen Zers is this: In an AI-disrupted job market where the roles today’s graduates are chasing may look completely different (or disappear altogether) within a few years, trying to script their future isn’t just pointless. It could make them miss the very opportunity that changes their life.
“You don’t need a 10-year plan,” she concluded. “You need two things: a short-term direction, something to work towards right now, and a long-run dream, a sense of the life you want to build.”
From OpenAI’s Sam Altman to Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, tech leaders keep sounding the alarm entire professions could soon be wiped out by AI. The World Economic Forum warned in January 2025 nearly half of bosses worldwide plan to fire and replace their workers with bots in the next four years. And entry-level workers are apparently first on the firing line.
Yeah my bad, I’ll tell my landlord the future is uncertain, cheers
This is the same snake lady who was in charge of improving Facebooks image when it was clear that Facebook was causing a massive increase in depression and suicide among young women. So her job was to distract everyone with her „Lean In“ narrative. She is such a horrible horrible person it’s so sad to see she is still relevant in any way.
Imagine still trusting anything Sheryl Sandberg says.
Sounds like some vacuous bullshit you read on LinkedIn. She doesn’t have advice for these kids.
It’s all up in the air now with AI. Maybe try to buy a bit of land and get into subsistence farming to become more off-grid and self sufficient as a 10-year plan. It does not look encouraging.
Just lean into the enshitiffication with a smile, you plebs.
Is this the same woman who proclaimed to empower women and then covered up harassment allegations for her ex-bf Bobby Kotick?
I’m so tired of people who will never know a day of real struggle in their lives, tell the rest of us that we’re fucked.
They’re not even pulling up the ladder, they’re lighting it on fire so that there is no chance for us period.
Vapid article. A Harvard grad was worried about their next gig after working for the president? Pointing out that there are other times–during other major economic and technological shifts, no less–where graduates had it difficult? Bunch of ridiculously wealthy executives shrugging off the very disruption that they are pushing, that is potentially orders of magnitude worse than those events and saying just to have a short term goal and a dream.
LinkedIn circle jerk bullshit.
So, you only listen because some executive says something. Appealing to authority. Why can’t you figure this out yourself?
Hopefully in less then 10 years we can fire everyone with “exec” in their job title.
WTF… I’ve been on a 3 year cycle career for the past 30 years. Companies have never updated salary for those that stay so the only way to go up was to move to a new company. 10 years, that was 1940…. not today.
Lady, the 10 year plan has been dead since Millenials were entering the workforce, you cretins took that corpse, beat it with iron rods, shat all over it, then set it on fire.
An economy that fails at the basic necessity of feeding, clothing, and housing people isn’t an economy at all. It’s just extraction.
If you take everything from people, and give them no path out, they will revolt
I know everyone commenting here has their mind made up but I agree with her here. I’m getting very nervous for the Gen Z that keep turning their nose up to AI and what these business leaders are telling them. I honestly think they are trying to prepare you. Don’t take this stuff lightly. You need to make yourself valuable because you use AI to be efficient. I know from speaking to externals and hiring managers that anyone who isn’t pro AI isn’t getting hired. At my company it’s the topic of every conversation, every vendor call, every persons screen I walk by is running Claude code or chatgpt or Gemini or perplexity. We have enterprise versions of all of them and 50 more tangential tools in our onboarding queue. This is speeding up not slowing down.
I’m extremely tired of protected, privileged assholes telling me “the hard truth.” Get fucked with your platitudes.
The world’s biggest sellout, who did nothing of substance except get rich off usury of private data, and support of a Zio state’s agenda. The worst part was her fake support of women.
Amazing advice Sheryl. You should go do a commencement speech and tell graduates they leaned in a little too far and got all those student loans and a degree for nothing because the future is uncertain.
Oh and maybe CS students shouldn’t have learned to code.
Thank goodness she was able to benefit from that before this happened.

This is the most bland advice, but of course it’s true. But specifying it comes from Sheryl Sandberg is gonna make people here mad.
Am I incorrect in thinking the public’s mini infatuation with this woman turned out to be misguided at best, and a product of a sham and a fraud at worst?
The sham and the fraud being her image as an empowering motivational girl boss to look up to and admire?
From what I understand she had her hands in plenty of the questionable deeds of behind the scenes machinations that are essentially what makes the platform so potentially toxic and destructive, and girlfriend was fine preaching about career and family while making insane amounts of money helping to garden an algorithm that fostered addictive habits and poor mental health.
The scary things is, the people with highly questionable ethics are probably the ones we really should be listening to when it comes to emerging technology, albeit between the lines, as they’re the ones in touch with the impulse to leverage it selfishly and destructively.
Damn I feel better about having no idea what Im doing with my life
We went from telling kids that they can be whatever they want to be if you put in the work, to “yeah don’t make any plans, the job you want today will be gone in 10 years”.
I know the world has always had its problems, but holy shit did things go south when COVID hit and then AI followed right after.
Thanks Sheryl. You can go back into your gazillion dollar house now.
It’s not „dead.“ It was murdered. By people like her, and those who came after.
Jokes on her, I’ve just been making it up as I go along.
Thank you, Mrs. Rich lady for telling us how fucked we are
The 10-year civilization plan isn’t looking too certain either. I don’t think this game can go on much longer without a major event that rewrites history in a meaningful way. It feels like the table for that moment is being set as we speak.
I’ll make sure that „I don’t really have a career plan. I chose not to script it due to the uncertain future caused by AI“ is my answer next time I’m asked about my career plans in an interview.
Read Careless People to get a real live view on Sandberg. Major yuck factor
The tech companies are doing the biggest fucking rug pull on Gen Z the world has ever seen. This Gen is graduating from university and entering an upended and obliterated job market where entry level, experiencing- gaining jobs are no longer on offer. This, after they’ve taken out student loans and earned a degree…all a waste if the entry level, industry door opening jobs are no longer there. It’s BS, and they deserve so much better.
If you can’t plan a career because of ai, or other rapid changes, and there is little or no support for continual education from companies or the government, and high student loan costs and other costs; then you can’t plan to buy a house, can’t plan to start a family or plan for any other kind of future. This is the essence of society. If you can’t have a family your society will go extinct by definition. Thus we are in a tipping point; modern computerized society with rapidly declining populations and radicalized have nots versus haves, or some new society with control over the rate of change that is more compatible with human lives and life cycles.
