Workers who aren't preparing themselves for a possible layoff or firing are kidding themselves. Before I left the company I was working for over twenty years I was preparing. I had a Plan A (stay long enough to retire) Plan B looking for another job (sending out application, resumes, and doing interviews), Plan C looking for another Job (sending out application, resumes, and doing interviews). I turned down a couple of jobs during this processing hanging on to the current gig. Luckily for me I was able to hang on to my job and make it to retirement and got a small pension when I left (yes, I actually had a pension). I was lucky but I was preparing all the time. I was not afraid to make a jump if need be. I was a cheerleader for the company but I was secretly anti corp. I nearly torpedoed myself once when I told a fellow employee my philosophy and he narced on me to a supervisor, Because I was a member of a union they just warned me not to discuss things with my fellow employee while on the clock. Once, they had my retirement notice in hand they just left me alone until the clock ran out. Again I was very lucky but I was still prepared if my luck ran out. Never trust the US empire-conartists all.
It's always on the horizon at the place. Lay offs, terminations, reshuffling that sinking ship deck, what ever PC words they want to use to the working class. Unionize.
