Job insecurity

[Tom]

Hi

Do you suffer from Job insecurity--I mean, does this thought bother you in case you lose your job how you are going to earn money?

Of course I'm afraid of getting "socked", but it is not obsessive - I can find another job, maybe with better conditions and tempting fringe benefits, bigger salary at least - changes are our little friends ! And meanwhile my family will support me (I sincerely hope so) so I wont starve to death

I think you meant to say "sacked" -- that's one of the slang terms used to refer to being fired.

(just FYI)

I don't mind losing my job, because I have many of them at the same time, and if one disappears, another one usually appears in its place. As a woman I know says, "When you're in business for yourself, you can have the pleasure of being fired every day."

Also, I spent some years in the advertising business, where they fire people all the time for any reason and no reason. If you're well established in that business, and a lot of people know you, you're usually offered a similar or better job by another good company after you've taken a nice one-month "vacation". For that reason I usually find getting fired more stimulating than scary.
