What is job security.
Today, at a large retail company in Minneapolis, hundreds of people who worked for someone else are being laid off.
An employee with a 23 year history with the company. Laid off.
A 43 year old Mom with a baby that has (terminal) Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Laid off.
A mid life guy with 5 little kids. Laid off.
A veteran with a specialization internally that isn't understood outside the walls of that business. Laid off.
Laid off. Take this folder down to the lobby, where we have an outplacement counselor you can meet with.
You got up this morning and showered, and headed off to the office like it was any other day.
You have to call you wife, your husband, your daycare provider... and let them know you no longer have a job.
Or insurance. Or income.
Job security? Your spouse thinks you should give up your pursuit of freedom and just get a job?
Ask the spouses of the hundreds of people let go in Minneapolis this morning how secure they feel.
There's no such thing as job security. Period.
Your house. Your car. Your health insurance. Your private school tuition. Your groceries next month. All on the line.
You were just a line item on someone's spreadsheet.
Remember that Saturday you skipped your little girl's ballet concert because you had work to do?
There's no job security.
If you think there is, you believe a lie.
Blaze your own path.
