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 Corporations talk about things like "loyalty" and "teamwork" but that's a one way street, they expect you to be loyal to them, they're not loyal to you.
