<p>Make yourself valuable enough and they won’t fire you.</p>
<p>I think that there’s a sort of victim culture now in America in which the employee is entitled to a job and the employer is somehow in the wrong if they take that job away. It wasn’t always like this and I think it’s a shame… a long and winding road to the socialism and inefficient bureaucracies of Continental labor.</p>
<p>More pertinently: if you lose your job, don’t whine about it! If you’re worth what they pay you, they won’t send you away.</p>
