Yes, I know it sounds corny but I'm sure it'll ring true to some.

This is silly. I fit this scenario, but Trump wants to eliminate my program.

I used to think that way before I got one, but it's not true and the market is saturated. Plus, the higher clearance level you have, the more easily it can be stripped and ruin you altogether.

I'm a newly tenured professor at a good college, and the average length of service for my colleagues is 30 years. I feel pretty safe, though I will never get rich. Summers off rocks.

Unregulated capitalism has insured there's no such thing as job security.

This is the sort of thing that leads to revolutions.

I used to think this until my company adopted a "lowest cost technically acceptable" business model - out went people over 45 or so, in come the kids and H-1B visas. I know I was profitable for the company because I had access to the numbers. I thought I was safe. New management and a 50th birthday can change your value to an employer.

Never once in my life have I assumed that any job was "safe". Everyone EVERYONE is replaceable.

Lack of a guaranteed job keeps you on your toes, makes you work harder and do better.

Dude, that is the kind of thing you can say when you don't need an income. Check your privilege.

A job that brings in revenue is safe. Are you in a job which brings in money or in one which is merely overhead expense?

Not really true, unless you are willing to consider a salary cut after someone else wins your contract. There are Bigly downward pressure on rates the companies charge, which trickles down.

The IC does not really appreciate that you get what you pay for.

Plus, I have seen too many people fail a poly (honest people) because they were nervous and be escorted out of buildings...

some are safer than others. feds and state employees probably being the safest. but with the Trumpettes in charge, who knows.
