Re: NOBODY is safe!
There is a relationship with a company.
There is a relationship with your skill set and market for it.
They are not the same.
I averaged 2 years per company from 1978 to 2008.
The tricks with jobs:
1) What you see is what you get, don't expect a tomorrow.
2) Save money and invest. You will not always be in your prime.
3) Negotiate your rate if on site. If off site, invoice what you think they will pay.
4) Step one of a job is to define that task. That means documenting what a mess the previous guy left behind.
