I've worked in the private sector for over 25 years (just) for a mixture of small, medium and multi-national companies and haven't once been made redundant, put at risk or told to reapply for my own job. I've worked in that time for six employers and have always left through choice. It would take more than one bad sales quarter to shift me from my current role. If/when it happens it will be because of a change of company strategy.

I've seen people laid off around me, mind, and none of the companies I've worked for in the past are still around - generally absorbed and then closed down - so maybe I just have a knack for bailing out at the right time. -- ogden | gsxr1000 | this space to be filled soon

Redundant once, because the whole company was bought out and jobs shifted 250 miles - I was 19 so that wasn't really a viable option. Have been through 'Consultation periods' about every 2 years with the current mob, but never actually put 'at risk'. One thing I have noticed is that working for a large corporate for a long time has given me a more negative view of the jobs marketplace that I started out with.
