Can't really disagree, and I've been telling people as much at work. This is the way things work in most sectors. If you aren't profitable you cut jobs. I'm prepared for the possibility I could lose my job, but I'm fortunate that in my profession I can pretty easily get a similar job pay wise, the benefits just won't be as good. It would be sad but not crippling. The bad part is I've gotten outstanding 6 out of 7 years but I'll bet anything I'd be on the chopping block before more tenured people who barely skate by. Just kind of how these things work.
