We are eating a hearty lunch at a New York steakhouse. My lunch partner is expounding on what a great year he's having, how terrific business is, how rosy the future looks. We're not sipping champagne, but we might as well be. It's that kind of meal. The bad news continues to roll in like a series of tidal waves, and whether you're a venture capitalist or a sanitation engineer, your job insecurity has gone way, way up.
