NO ONE is safe. It is niave to think anything else. Trust me. I have been critical before an still saw the boot... I have also seem industry leaders get the boot and although painful for companies, they move on an in a few months they say " Joe who....."  |
+1. I too have been "the guy" (systems/communications/networking) in multi-billion orginazations before...it matters not. In fact, typically a person (or team) can often find a bulls-eye on their back(s) as new management comes in and decides they don't like the associated risks. It's nothing personal, just a conscious business decision and a CTA strategic move. It's en vogue these days to simply outsource the whole dang thing with typically disastrous results (but the band still plays on). It's not necessarily a bad thing though. I always had the philosophy throughout my career that "I can replace this job a lot easier than you can replace me" which was the absolute truth, and I had a good run until I'd simply had enough. I'm sure the young IT girl mentioned earlier was the same way. It's a two way street, and simply "is what it is". NO one is indepsensible (even Rob
), as houses will continue to be planned, developed, and sold LONG after he is an ancient memory. That typically even applies to CEOs (maybe Wayne is the exception) making tens of millions per year...NO ONE gets out alive in the end, so enjoy the journey just like Rob does
