The Google layoffs remind me: When I considered starting my first company I worried about "job security".

My then-girlfriend said:

"Big companies do not provide job security. They provide the service that you are the last person to know when the job is gone."

Wisdom.

@HalvarFlake Unfortunately I didn’t realize this until experiencing unnecessary mass layoffs at IBM. It was literally dictated from the top that every department had to lose X% of permanent staff, minimum of 1, no matter their performance or whether it would make the department collapse.
