Have you noticed more discussion among friends about job stability?

Just yesterday, two guys...in front of me at a line at the drugstore...were discussing their prospects of getting laid off. Each told the other that although layoffs were expected that "it won't be me."

I wish I had a dollar for every time I hear someone proclaiming "it won't be me."

Human nature has one thinking this survival thought.

Who gets laid off is often not fair. Often age bias creeps in...or politics...or relationships...or????

Seems smarter to be thinking "it could be me" and planning on making changes to (1) minimize the likelihood, and (2) develop a Plan B if such a layoff does occur.
