No job is your last until you die. There is always something better. Learn someone else s job too. That is the best protection against getting laid off. Many have been left holding the bag for that last business trip they took, or book they bought.
Few companies fail to make payroll just once.
Those that do do it all the time. Do not wait around for that owed check either. Just assume it is gone. Don t mistake co-workers for friends, family or lovers. And do not mistake your job for your life.
