Before starting my own business the longest job I had before a layoff was 18 months. It makes good business sense to have loyal employees and treat them well but the number one purpose of a business is to turn a profit. So unless you’re a government leech the days of decade long jobs and a retirement pension are long long gone. Get what you can when you can and expect to go in to work every day facing a pink slip.
GAVE MYSELF A PINK SLIP & BECAME SELF-EMPLOYED.
Last accounting client retired 2 years ago.
I did his books for 53 years.
