But tomorrow it could easily be me. And nothing I've done - no seniority, no accomplishments, no amount of hard work will have anything to do with the decision about whether to keep me or let me go. That's hard to deal with.
Hence my career change to nursing. Even in today's economy, I have yet to hear of nurses hitting the unemployment ranks.

Never mind my performance reviews or anything...I was costing too much money, thus I was expendable.
