Anyone who's not self-employed or a gov't. employee works at someone else's whim. Your only job security is your ability to find your next job.
My company had an executive bloodbath a few weeks ago. Our CFO and Sr. VP for sales got the boot and they were doing a good job too. In my experience, those making the most money are the first to get canned when belt-tightening becomes necessary. I swear, "the graveyards are full of indespensible men" is one of the ost apt quotes I've ever heard. I've seen people let go whom I didn't think the company could live without and then wondered why in the world I still had my job.
