29 Sep 08 Everyone is disposable

Job Security=Academic Freedom

We live in some crazy times. I heard about what happened at the Accounting department of one company. It seems that the parent organization across the country was looking to take over the Accounts Payable function of the business, so they let everyone go on the day they made the announcement. Then, about a month or so later, when it turned out that the transition wasn’t being done smooth enough, they decided to move the function back. Hiring brand new people.

If a mission-critical function of the business is that easily disposable, how can any of us really have any job security? No one. We have to be our own career managers.
