Job Security ... Yea right !

A good friend just told me, you know Paul; I have been working for this company for 10 years. Two weeks after I got my commemorative plaque, they fired me, no severance pay, no nothing.
This makes me wonder
Do you aim for job security or job employability?

Job security is a fancy dream people buy into after being with a company for a while. Job employability is working on expanding and fine-tuning your marketable skills. Job security is yesterday’s pipe dream. Job employability is today’s early nightmare. The good news is you get to pick your poison. You can work hard, extra hard and hope they do not offshore your position overseas, outsource you for someone who can do it better, faster and cheaper or you can increase your expertise and take the highest bid…
Next time you are sitting on a toilet seat, ask yourself two simple questions.
1- Am I replaceable?
2- Am I indispensable?
The answer will tell you what should be your next move.
P.S. Oh, we are sorry but XYZ no longer works for the company…
