Constant layoffs and contract work make people anxious even when employed. Do you think job insecurity is the biggest modern stressor? How do you prepare emotionally for uncertainty?
Evolution of advancements leave some of us as obsolete. I believe job security is not like it once was. Employers are more interested in following the bottom line.
In our country, if you get a government job, you get a job security, especially when your job is of managerial level. You get a good salary, provident funds as well as pension for your entire life after retirement.
