Oh yeah I don't doubt that. I totally respect my manager. He's been out of town this week but I know he'll be pissed when he finds out that he's got to lay people off without having any say in it whatsoever. I'm not going to hold it against anyone if it happens.

Yeah, we'll see. I mean, it happens to people every day. There's no reason why I should be be any less vulnerable than anyone else in this world. Fortunately, I'm blessed to have been raised by financially savvy parents and a wife that has the same financial views as me so we'll be fine.
I've only been in the working world since 2011 but the thought of waking up one Tuesday morning and not having anywhere to be is pretty frightening. Can bet your *** I'll be hitting the ground hard getting something else set up though.
