well, my fiancee called off our wedding because she fears I might be out of work in future working here. Did I get a blessing in disguise ?

I count about 17 in the blessing - get rid of her camp.
About 5 in the neutral or not speaking to the "blessing" question including the puzzling Bernee Brown comment. No idea what that's about.
Only 1 positive - the guy that said pay for counseling for her.
So there you have it.
Following.
Would like to hear "the rest of the story" as Paul Harvey used to say.
What a golddigger! You're better off and very lucky! I would buy a lottery ticket if I were you with that kind of luck.
Wrong wife is way, way worse than the wrong job.
It's only a blessing if you tell her to take a hike.
p.s. If the wedding was going to be expensive, and required your job to pay for it, that's your another mistake.
The cheaper the wedding, the more probable it is that the marriage will last. Cheap weddings are best.
Just curious - was she Asian?
If you are a troll, OP, it's a great troll topic.
Assuming it is real, I say you are very fortunate to find out what she is like before she married you.
Put me down for blessing, not even in disguise. Just a blessing.
My now wife started dating me when I was out of work for over a year and freshly divorced with 4 kids. So I knew she wasn’t into it for the $. 😂
You must thank your fiancee. Early break way better than late break.
She wouldn't be able to take half your wealth and live lavishly in divorce so she left.
You are so lucky to find out now! You can do better.
Run!
Time to go your own way, or it will be her way until your end.

Here's another analogy. What happens down the road when you get a devestating health diagnoses like cancer or you encounter yet another layoff. Then what? Maybe she's using this AS an excuse; it's not the layoff. What's really bothering her? May be hard to hear but better to know now. Or, maybe she is saying hey we can wait and no need to worry about the expense of the wedding right now, which is her thinking about you. Time to find out.
Listen to the Brenee Brown talk titled This has nothing to do with you… it’s eye opening
OP, forget about her. She does not deserve you. Now get re-focused and throw yourself into your work. Set a new 100% compliance goal for your "Weekly Estimated Net Usage Statistics" (W.E.N.U.S) reports.
What, can't find another that is wealthier then you ? Quit going to bars and churches !
I agree this is a blessing in disguise.
You need to find someone who loves you no matter what.
Fiance has deep security issues. Might be good to understand the root cause and deal with it. Professional help for her as long as you have the means to pay for it is advised.
Yes. If you believed in you, she'd believe you can find a job somewhere else if/when needed. Life will throw you a lot of challenges. If your partner isn't someone willing to go through life's ups and downs with you, then she's not the right one for you
The old saying...
When someone shows you who they are.. believe them..
Blessing on the long term
I am glad to see the life of an Intel employee benefitted by its downfall.
I had a girlfriend break up with me over a layoff. I went on to better things. No idea what happened to her. Nice to know you're dealing with a gold-digger up front rather than lose everything later.
WOW!!!! S/he did you a huge favor. So much for 'Richer or for poorer.....'
100% everyone wants a safe and secure life but to leave someone in fear of their partner losing their job is a blessing. Better than getting married, losing a job and then going thru a divorce and giving your hard earned money to them
Yes
