Do you feel a sense of job security where you work? In the past I always have. In the role I’m currently in my leader made an off handed comment yesterday to a teammate. I don’t believe I was the subject but it reminded me how fragile things are and that I shouldn’t feel as comfortable as I do.

Feeling secure in your job is important, but feeling too secure can lead to complacency and a sense of entitlement. There should always be just a little “looking over your shoulder” to keep you on your toes and performing at a level that keeps your job secure.

I feel like there is more than a little looking over my shoulder. I feel in fear of my job more often than not.

I always feel secure because I always go above and beyond expectations

Me too but I don’t feel like that guarantees anything.

I feel reasonably secure in my role, but I've seen way too many people I thought were doing a great job get let go over the years to feel too comfortable. Nothing is ever guaranteed.

Agreed

Honestly, in this economy I feel like all of us are replaceable and have very little security in our careers. We live in a world of cancel culture, being too comfortable, too complacent, too vocal, too anything could be the downfall of any of our careers.

Since l work at Rite Aid, l feel like it's not as secure as when l first started. They say they're done closing stores on the west coast, but can their employees truly know for sure with all that's going on with this company?

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs
