As I've blogged about in the past, most Americans would not survive more than 3 weeks without their income. They would be forced to take on debt in order to pay bills or just let them pile up.
I would be almost in that boat. I would last a bit longer than 3 weeks, but not much.
Wow. That's hard to admit.
What does that do to people's morale? We show up to work day after day knowing that if we don't or if something happens to us or our job, we're in deep water.
If you were to be handed a pink slip, would you go home with a drink and stare blankly into your unknown future?
Or would you have a side-gig that you've been working on for a year or two and were considering taking full time anyway?
Would you curse your employer on the way out the door?
Or would you thank them for nudging you into that other project you were working on?
Having a job gives us a false sense of security. Nothing is secure -- nothing is guaranteed -- nothing is handed to us.
I'm not where I want to be as it relates to income earning and "job security", but at least I am awake to the reality of my situation.
What about you?
