Job Security

[TheShoe]

How secure are you in your job? With all the layoffs going around, do you think that you're in danger?

I feel pretty secure in my position. I work for a chain manufacturer, as an engineer for the traction division (tire chains etc.). People will always need chains due to all the regulations requiring chains on the west coast, so I feel like this economic downturn wont affect me at all. how is the IT industry fairing? I know a lot of you are in that field...

Its gonna get alot worse. And no my financial life is okay, but I still bought some canned food and ammo incase things go crazy.

my job is even depression proof.If state funding goes south we will just move from residential care to facility care meaning I will have to wear scrubs and use a time clock.

My business is one of the few that benefits from the downturn. Unless the government starts messin with the contracts I have then I may have issues or see a pay cut but the work isnt going to stop anytime soon.

kick people who don't pay the mortgage out of the banks house.

It's a shitty business, but its a business.
