My dad has been a server engineer for a single company for my entire life and he lived like this up until quite recently. His fear oscillates in magnitude with the success of the industry the company is a part of course so it isn't always severe but I remember every few years as a kid I'd hear him and my mother murmering about lay offs. These days he just jokes about it being an early retirement

Yeah this post hit me different than was probably the intent. I've been expecting to get laid off for the past 6 months ago, initially it was fear, eventually it was desire. Didn't happen though and I've since found a new job, but I would have welcomed it if it did.
