I have been let go, with 500 other good people from my previous life and even though my current position seems great, I have no delusions that any job is temporary.

Where do you see yourself in 3 years, or 5-10? Where do you want to be? Even if you have a really good position, what happens if one provider leaves?

We recently had a situation. One person in the office got hired, they were like a sour grape, the whole office was infected with the sour poop. When they were finally let go, after 2-3 long weeks, the folks who work in that area are back to smiling and cheerful. This is how they were before. My point is, even a wonderful work situation can go bad in-a-hurry with a little change. This is a huge issue for most folks.
