Always remember, we are all expendable. Always give your best to whatever role you hold but with the thought in mind it can all end in an instant due to no fault of your own. Often these decisions are made at very high levels in the organization by people who know nothing about what you do. They just hand down an edict to "cut staff by 10%" or something like that. In the final analysis you work for you. Your company is just who is funding your lifestyle at the moment. Have multiple income streams if possible. Then if one fails you have a cusion. Also, eliminate all debt from your life and live below your means. Hardships are much easier to handle when you live debt-free and have an emergency fund.
